Today, we know that in the Milky Way galaxy, there are more planets than there are stars. Additionally, there are organisms on Earth called "extremophiles" that thrive in extreme or hostile environments, similar to those found on many exoplanets.

She served as Project Scientist for NASA’s SETI program, the High Resolution Microwave Survey, and has conducted numerous observational programs at radio observatories worldwide. Since the termination of funding for NASA’s SETI program in 1993, she has served in a leadership role to secure private funding to continue the exploratory science. Her astronomical work was illustrated in Carl Sagan's 1985 novel "Contact." The character largely based on Tarter, "Ellie Arroway," was portrayed by Jodie Foster in the 1997 film version of "Contact." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Read more of our stories on extraterrestrial life: My UFO experience ► https://bigthink.com/13-8/navy-ufo-my-experience-sightings/ If we do find alien life, what kind will it be? ► https://bigthink.com/13-8/what-will-aliens-look-like/ Alien life: What would constitute “smoking gun” evidence? ► https://bigthink.com/hard-science/alien-life-smoking-gun-evidence/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Big Think | Smarter Faster™ ► Big Think The leading source of expert-driven, educational content.
