It's World Space Week (4-10 October) and this year's theme is Living in Space.
Hari Mogosanu is an astrobiologist and Executive Director of the New Zealand Astrobiology Network, currently celebrating 10 years since its inception.
In her role leading the network, Hari connects educators, researchers and communities across the motu to explore big questions about life in the universe, our place in it and the future of humanity in space.
She's joined by Dr Graeme Lau from the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science, who's currently taking part in a series of speaking panels around the country. Graeme hosts the Ask an Astrobiologist programme for NASA.
They'll answer your listener questions about space and life beyond!
