  The Galileo Lectures

  This six-part series celebrates the 2009 International Year of Astronomy, marking 400 years since Galileo used a telescope to view the solar system and transformed our understanding of Earth's place in the universe. Produced in partnership with the Royal Society of New Zealand

  (3) The Search for other Planets, other Life, presented by Alan Gilmore, Mt John Observatory, University of Canterbury

  The realisation that stars are just distant suns, like our own, led to speculation about the existence of other planets, and other life forms. The first extra-solar planet orbiting a 'normal' star was detected in 1996. More than 300 planets have now been identified, and many have been discovered by New Zealand astronomers. But the chances of finding one which has the pre-requisites for life are slim, and even if we do find another in "The Goldilocks Zone", the possibility of travelling to it is, as yet, out of the question. Earth is a very special place indeed (RNZ)
