What Would Life look like on Alien Worlds? (Part 2)

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. Eden: A planet like ours orbiting not one star, but two. This is Eden. The light from its twin stars powers photosynthesis, pumping oxygen into the atmosphere. How would life evolve to live on such an extremely oxygenated world? Terra: A planet 9 billion years old, twice as old as earth. Old enough that a truly advanced civilization could have evolved. Like Earth, it was once a fertile world. Now it’s barren. But life can still thrive here in artificial domes. 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. Check out part 1 here:
