A lost city is a type of hydrothermal vent. It's about a kilometer belowthe urface, and it's this beautiful white cathedral of rock on the bottom of the ocean. So how does that relate to the origin of life on earth? Sure. Scientists are really interested in trying to make that connection as well.
What are the oceans like on Enceladus? Neil deGrasse Tyson explores the oceans of other planets in the search for alien life with planetary scientist Kevin Hand, oceanographer Julie Huber, and comedians, Eugene Mirman, Ellie Kemper, and John Mulaney!
