Wide Angle: Are We Alone?
On Wednesday June 9 (at 10 pm), The Science Channel will begin "Through the Wormhole," a documentary series hosted by Morgan Freeman. Each episode will explore some of the deepest questions that have puzzled mankind for centuries. Is there a Creator? Do aliens exist? What are we made of? In this special Wide Angle, Discovery News tackles the big question: "Are we alone?" We will explore speculation about intelligent extraterrestrial life, what kinds of environments could support the most basic life and whether our interpretation of "life" is the only possibility in a universe with apparently infinite possibilities.
