Description
Rescaling the chapters proportionally to the real 11:29 runtime.
Rescaled to the 11:29 runtime. Here's the updated description, paste-ready:
---
The nearest planets beyond our solar system that might actually support life, explained, from the rocky world next door to the famous seven-planet system, and what it would take to find life on any of them.
I break down space and astronomy in a way that's easy to get into. Hope you find something here that sticks with you.

These are proportionally matched to the full 11:29, so the last chapter ("Are We Alone?") opens at 10:01 and runs to the end. They'll line up closely, but since narration pace varies slightly section to section, glance at a couple of the reveal moments in the finished cut and nudge any that are off.
