Two shows catch the eye tonight [Saturday] on the National Geographic Channel:
Are we the only intelligent species alive in the universe? Join the
quest to separate scientific fact from science fiction in the search
for extraterrestrials.
A dazzling galactic journey brings you face-to-face with fantastic
alien life-forms that scientists believe could exist in our own galaxy.
I haven’t seen the former, but “Extraterrestrial” is quite good, with sound extrapolations about life forms that could develop in such interesting environments as a planet circling an M-class red dwarf, and interviews with scientists involved in the exoplanetary hunt. For more information (and alternate program times) look here. Thanks to Larry Klaes for the tip on the re-broadcast of these shows.
