ALIEN WORLDS

Are we alone?

Is there other life in the universe?

If we found it, would we even recognize it?

Alien Worlds simulates possible life forms on imaginative worlds far beyond Earth —

laying the groundwork for real-world detections that seem just over the horizon.

For the past four years, world-class scientists have developed astrobiological models of alien worlds.

Each world extends our knowledge of planet evolution and biochemistry into the not-quite-known.

These worlds are strange, yet familiar.

The life forms there are speculative, yet plausible.

Alien Worlds has so far developed eight life-filled planets.

The project's science has inspired real missions to detect life in our solar system this decade.

Along the way, science fiction writers, artists, designers and more have helped bring alien worlds to life.

We're just at the beginning of discovering the vertiginous variety of life that might be out there.

Surely, Earth cannot be a cosmic anomaly.

Alien Worlds is a proposed new laboratory.

We are seeking funding to deepen scientific and creative research that will propel us closer to detecting extraterrestrial life.

Such a detection would change what it means to be alive and human in the cosmos.

Will you join us?
