Second Genesis: The Quest for Life Beyond Earth

About Second Genesis: The Quest for Life Beyond Earth

Planetary scientist Carolyn Porco explains what it takes to look for life beyond Earth, and what conditions are required for life to exist. Porco argues that Saturn’s moon Enceladus—with its plumes of water vapor spewing into space, confirmed organic materials, and evidence of hydrothermal vents at the bottom of its liquid ocean—is the most promising place to look.

Second Genesis: The Quest for Life Beyond Earth is a 2017 documentary film directed by Tony Gerber. Carolyn Porco stars as Self - Presenter, and Kevin Collins as Self - Narrator (voice).

Released in August 2017, it runs 19 minutes. Written by Jared Lipworth and Neil Shea.
