SYNOPSIS
Are we alone in the universe? … This question has been one of the greatest mysteries of all time. 20 years ago, individual scientists began to challenge traditional planetary science as they set off to seek, observe and reveal the existence of unknown worlds: EXOPLANETS. The film recounts the epic journey of these astrophysicists, who turned our knowledge of the universe upside down, in their quest for extraterrestrial life.
Meet these incredible scientists: Geoffrey Marcy (US), Professor of astronomy at the University of California Berkeley, David Charbonneau (CA), Professor of astronomy at Harvard University, Michel Mayor (CH), astrophysicist, member of the Geneva Observatory, Didier Queloz (CH), astronomer, professor at Cambridge University.
