What Would Life look like on Alien Worlds?
When we search the cosmos for life, we usually look for planets that look like Earth, after all, if Earth can support life why couldn’t a similar planet. But not all planets look like Earth, some are much hotter and others much smaller. With the diversity of planets, it's worth asking, what would life look like on alien worlds?

We'll discuss two worlds. Atlas: 5,000 light-years away lies a ringed world more than double the size of Earth with twice as much gravity. Janus: Imagine a planet in such a close orbit, that its rotation is locked by the star's gravity so it always shows the same face to its sun, like how we only ever see one side of the Moon. Under such different circumstances, how would life adapt to such extreme worlds?

Despite light-years between planets, life across the universe needs the same basics to survive, food and a reason to reproduce. Despite the vast differences in lifeforms, these common needs could result in some remarkable similarities across the cosmos.

This video was based on the Series Alien Worlds on Netflix, I definitely recommend giving it a watch.
