Quentin Cooper looks at how British scientists are helping the search for extraterrestrial life. The answer could lie with meteorites, or with the discovery of planets just like Earth that circle the stars at the far reaches of the galaxy. Following Nasa's frustration at the recent loss of their Mars Polar Landing, eyes are now firmly focussed on the European Space Agency's Mars Express Mission, due to take off in 2003.

The trail follows clues in fish glue, mini-skirts and building rubble. Martin Wainwright talks to historians and those who are painstakingly restoring the altarpiece.
