The search for life beyond our own planet, and beyond our own solar system, is something that has inspired scientists, artists and authors for centuries. There is still no sign of little green men, bug-eyed monsters or bacteria on Mars, but we are getting somewhere. The detection of planets beyond our solar system is now routine; more than 200 of these extra-solar planets, or exo planets, are now known. But scientists explore a lot of galaxies around the universe.
