Imagine a planet not unlike our own
warmed by an orange sun.

It is one of countless planets orbiting billions of stars

Each star a beacon shining in the thousands of millions of galaxies that span our universe.

Could alien life have sparked on worlds beyond our own?

Surely, life on Earth is not a cosmic anomaly.

For over two-years, world-class scientists have rigorously simulated alien life forms.

Life that is strange, yet familiar —

Our cousins, evolving just beyond the horizon of now.

Upon rugged terrains, in temperate oceans, in roiling storm clouds,

Alien life flourishes on speculative worlds.

Scientists' ground-breaking discoveries inspire new approaches to detecting life beyond Earth.

They challenge how we define habitability.

They help us chart novel pathways of evolution.

And they transform our understanding of what it means to be alive.
