What if there was a museum that contained every type of life form in the universe? This experience takes you on a tour through the possible forms alien life might take, from the eerily familiar to the utterly exotic, ranging from the inside of the Earth to the most hostile corners of the universe.

This thought experiment will give us a glimpse into what could be out there, how we might find it, and just how far nature’s imagination might stretch.
