For most of our history, the question of whether the Earth hosts all life in the entire Universe was a matter for speculation rather than scientific study.
 
In  this video Professor Dave Rothery looks at what conditions for life are needed on moons such as on the icy surfaces of Jupiter and Saturn's moons. 

You can read ‘Are we alone in the Universe?', a look at the potential for life beyond Earth, by David Rothery.
