Technology used to detect life on other worlds is improving and researchers could be less than ten years away from making a discovery that will change biological science forever. University of Arizona Distinguished Professor of Astronomy Chris Impey talks about the likelihood of finding microbes in our ongoing search for life on other worlds. He is one of the presenters in this year's College of Science public lecture series on the U of A campus in February.
Chris Impey spoke with Tim Swindle, director of the University of Arizona Lunar and Planetary Laboratory.
