Living Universe

An interstellar adventure in search of an exoplanet that supports complex life. We ask the greatest minds in the world: How do we get there?

For as long as we’ve had eyes to see and minds to wonder we’ve marveled at the stars. Since the discovery of the first so-called exoplanet in 1994, the Planet Hunters have transformed the way we see the universe. It is the year 2157, and spacecraft Artemis enters the final phase of construction.
