Are we alone? Ever since the first exoplanets were discovered in 1992, astronomers and scientists have been racing to find another Earth-like planet. Although there are a staggering number of planets in the universe, we have still yet to locate one that's habitable. In this short film by Brett Marty and Josh Izenberg, follow a group of scientists whose mission is to hunt for an Earth-like planet around our closest neighbor: Alpha Centauri.
