Fantasy Worlds
Could there be life on other worlds?
Scientists are more hopeful than ever of finding life beyond Earth. Astronomers have found giant planets orbiting other stars and expect smaller, rocky worlds to be out there too.
Imagine what life on those worlds might be like, and what it would need to survive. Produced by the Houston Museum of Natural Science.
