Does life exist beyond Earth? In recent years, we have discovered that almost every star is accompanied by one or more exoplanets. These distant worlds are hard to see because they are light-years away and are overshadowed by the dazzling light of their star. However, astronomers can 'see' them with the largest telescopes ever made, and new discoveries are being made regularly.

In this show, astronomers from the Kapteyn Institute in Groningen will share everything about how we study exoplanets and will take us on a journey to visit a few of these wondrous worlds.
