Synopsis

Are there other planetary systems like ours? Other planets like ours? Is there life elsewhere in the Universe? So asks Dr. Lew Allen Jr. in the foreword. In December of 1992, theorists, observers, and instrument builders gathered at the California Institute of Technology to discuss the search for answers to these questions.
