This is a duplicate of a thread I posted in the Off Topic Forum, but rather than just post a thread telling you all to go there and look for it, I thought it couldn't harm to post it here too.
The Science Museum in London has just had a new exhibition open devoted to the subject of what life on alien worlds would be like.
In conjunction with Channel 4, they have devised a programme and exhibition which extrapolate from certain given criteria what the course of evolution could be like on planets that had different environments from ours- what forms might develop on worlds with denser atmospheres, for instance.

Follow us on a journey through the real science of alien life and into the furthest reaches of your imagination. Get up-close and personal with some classic science fiction films and props, then come face-to-face with the weird creatures that inhabit Earth, before exploring far-flung planets and stars. Enter the "Alien Worlds" of leading scientists and meet the aliens they have imagined in a unique hands-on environment. And before you leave, compose your own personal message to an alien.
Channel 4 and Big Wave Productions challenged some of the brightest and best scientific minds to imagine life on alien worlds. They didn’t disappoint. From flying whales to worlds locked into eternal night, you’ll soon discover why science fact can be more thrilling – and even more bizarre – than science fiction.
