Introduction How life began. This problem really permeates much of humankind, societies and cultures past and present. Some have evoked a supreme being to explain the origin of life; others look to the scientific method to provide answers. Regardless of the position, there have been at least two extremely exciting discoveries or reports that really change the nature of the game. The first one is the discovery of planets around nearby stars. There are other solar systems in space. That's very important. And the other is the discovery of the possibility that life existed on Mars. 3.6 billion year old structures that look like microbial fossils preserved in a Martian meteorite that was blasted off Mars, was in space for around 16 million years, and hit Antarctica several thousand years ago. This is extremely controversial, but with these two important breakthroughs, evidence for the possibility of the existence of life in the past on Mars and planets around nearby stars, I think we're entering into a new dimension with regard to the origins of life on this planet. And there's a new field emerging and it's called astrobiology . NASA is very keen on developing this new discipline. What does one mean by astrobiology? Well, in its most general sense, it's really discussing the origins, the distribution and the future of life in the universe. And as you can see, these two discoveries really drive that home.

Astrobiology and the Origins of Life by Dr. Stanley Awramik Narrative Index To begin Dr. Awramik's talk you can click here or read this brief overview, below, that provides links to the best places in the talk for specific topics. Astrobiology is a new field that discusses the origins, the distribution and the future of life in the universe. Two breakthroughs of importance to astrobiology are evidence for the possibility of the existence of life in the past on Mars and the discovery of planets around nearby stars. Speculation and early experiments on the origins of life from Charles Darwin Alexander Oparin H.B.S. Haldane contributed to a breakthrough experiment by Stanley Miller . Miller took non-living material that was on the early Earthhydrogen, methane, ammonia, and waterprovided an energy source and produced amino acids . In the 44 years since Miller's experiment, scientists such as Juan Orowin and Tom Scheck have produced nucleic acid bases and riboenzymes but no self-replicating life or organism or cell has yet been produced in the laboratory. What do we know about the timeline for origins of life on Earth? Earth formed from the accretion of planetesimals about

Main Page Recent changes Edit this page Page history ... Printable version Not logged in Log in Help Astrobiology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Astrobiology is the study of the living universe. Advances in science and technology are yielding dramatic new knowledge about the origin, distribution, and destiny of life. Scientists have analyzed complex organic chemistry in interstellar clouds of gas and dust and have discovered more than 100 planets outside of our solar system. Life on Earth has been found thriving at environmental extremes such as in Antarctic rocks, boiling hot springs, and aquifers buried kilometers below the land surface. We have found that liquid water, the one essential ingredient for life as we know it, once flowed on the surface of the planet Mars and exists today below the icy crust of Jupiter 's moon, Europa . Life on Earth has been traced back 3.8 billion years to the period of heavy cometary bombardment, an era that simultaneously brought life-giving water and organic compounds to the terrestrial planets while battering them with lethal quantities of impact energy. We are discovering both the fragility and robustness of life as we investigate the history of mass extinctions on our planet (including extinctions taking place today), the subtle alterations in climate triggered by volcanic eruptions and human industry, and the destruction of our planet's protective shield of ozone.

74. Biennial Astrobiology Science Conference Welcome to the second astrobiology Science Conference! astrobiology isa novel approach to the scientific study of the living universe. http://web99.arc.nasa.gov/abscon2/

Welcome to the second Astrobiology Science Conference! Astrobiology is a novel approach to the scientific study of the living universe. It seeks to understand the origin and evolution of life on Earth, to determine if life exists elsewhere in the universe, and to predict the future of life on Earth and in the rest of the universe. To this end it relies on a diversity of disciplines, and has inspired new metadisciplines. In April 2000, NASA Ames Research Center and the NASA Astrobiology Institute hosted the first Astrobiology Science Conference. Much to the surprise of the organizers, it attracted over 650 participants from dozens of countries. The sessions were based on themes such as "Water: the Sine Qua Non of Life." Each session was led by invited plenary speakers, and followed by contributed talks selected for their topical excitement from over 370 submitted abstracts. The many excellent posters attracted viewers during special poster times, lunches, and evenings. The second conference will be similar in flavor: an intellectual feast. The format will have a few enhancements. On Sunday April 7 we will offer overview talks in disciplines for those who want a refreshing way to get "up to speed" outside their area of expertise. At the same time we will showcase NASA Ames Research Center. The evening will conclude with a barbeque and an opportunity for a first viewing of the posters. During several afternoons there will be concurrent sessions, which will allow for more oral presentations and more intimate discussions following the talks. Finally, we hope to schedule some evening events of a more light-hearted nature such as a sci fi night.

Astrobiology: Flights of fancy A NASA illustration on astrobiology begins with Earth and the International Space Station, then proceeds outward to Mars, Europa and the stars. Peter Ward of the University of Washington and Seth Shostak of the SETI Institute debate the prospects for intelligent life beyond Earth. By Alan Boyle MSNBC Would life forms on other worlds have to possess eyes, ears and limbs like higher organisms on Earth? Would they have to have a similar genetic code? Or can life exist not as we know it? These questions may be unanswerable now, but astrobiologists are anxious to answer the underlying question: How do you define life? Nevertheless, even the discovery of extraterrestrial microbes would surely transform the way humans look at the universe, astrobiologists say. dead The case of the Mars meteorite, known as ALH84001, also underlined the difficulty of the search: Since that announcement was made, other scientists have raised questions about the potential for earthly contamination of the sample, or for the misinterpretation of purely inorganic structures at a scale of billionths of a meter.

These projects span the domain of astrobiology from studying the origin of life on Earth, to seeking life on Mars. We've been doing astrobiology for a long time. Since 1984, we've been engaged in the search for the electromagnetic signals from a distant world that would indicate the presence of transmitters, evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence made manifest by its communications technology. The new Astrobiology Roadmap (November 2002) states, in goal 7, that "a strategy is needed for recognizing novel bio-signatures. This strategy ultimately should accommodate a diversity of habitable conditions, biota and technologies in the universe that probably exceeds the diversity observed on Earth " and goes on to say: "As more complex biological features eventually evolved, as evidenced by plants and animals, the associated biosignatures became easier to distinguish from the abiotic world. Human technology continues this trend, with the added benefit that it might be detected remotely. Thus, although technology is probably much more rare than life in the universe, its associated biosignatures perhaps enjoy a much higher "signal-to-noise" ratio. Accordingly, current methods should be further developed and novel methods should be identified for detecting electromagnetic radiation or other diagnostic artifacts that indicate remote technological

strobiology is the study of life in the universe. JSC scientists from many disciplines are investigating the origin and evolution of life. Ancient Life on Earth The formation of Earth and its atmosphere made it possible for life to begin and evolve over time. Life on this planet has been traced back 3.8 billion years to the period when heavy cometary bombardment brought life-giving water and organic chemicals to Earth. The evolutionary record of Earth is crucial to the search for extraterrestrial life. Our past holds the only clues to how, why, or when living creatures might arise elsewhere in the universe. Life Endures Earth's Extreme Environments Astrobiology research has revealed life's habitable zone to be much broader than we originally thought. Life has been found thriving in Antarctic rocks, in boiling hot springs, in the ocean depths, and deep underground. Antarctica Antarctica is the least hospitable place on Earth. Yet, exobiologists have uncovered thriving populations of life in the dry valleys and ice covered lakes. This finding suggests that extreme cold and minimal water need not preclude life on Mars-like planets. Hot Springs Subterranean Environments Bacteria has been found in rocks buried up to two miles underground. There may be more organisms living underground than at the Earth's surface.
