Did life come from outer space?
We’re yet to prove whether there’s intelligent life in the cosmos, but is there a possibility that life on earth may have started out on another planet?
Join astrobiologist and Royal Society Research Fellow Dr Zita Martins in this Cafe Scientifique to discover how meteorites and their collisions could hold the key to the origins of life and explore what this research could mean for life on other planets.
What is a Café Scientifique?
