The Search for Truth: Extraterrestrial Life, and Nerdy Pickup Lines within the Universe

The idea of extraterrestrial life has been explored by scientists for decades. Contact is one of many films that speaks to our fascination with alien life (and showcases the Very Large Array radio astronomy observatory right here on the Colorado Plateau). Could there really be life beyond earth? In our final Science On Screen event of 2023, we spoke with Cris White, Senior Outreach Specialist at the Earth to Sky Interagency Partnership and NASA Solar Sytem Ambassador, to learn about NASA Astrobiology missions and searching for signs of extraterrestrial life in our solar system.
