Astrobiology: Science Learning Activities for Afterschool [PDF]
, 2006 This product consists of eight astrobiology after-school activities, each of which may be completed in about one hour. The science of astrobiology is concerned with the question of whether or not life exists on other planets.

From Cosmos to Intelligent Life: The Four Ages of Astrobiology
, 2012 The history of life on Earth and in other potential life-bearing planetary platforms is deeply linked to the history of the universe. Since life as we know it relies on chemical elements forged in dying heavy stars, the universe needs to be old enough ...

Philosophical Aspects of Astrobiology Revisited
Philosophies, 2021 Given the idea that Life as we know it is nothing but a special form of a generically underlying dynamical structure within the physical Universe, we try to introduce a concept of Life that is not only derived from first principles of fundamental physics,

ASTROBIOLOGY AND ASTROCHRISTOLOGY
Zygon, 2016 Astrochristology, as a subfield within the more comprehensive astrotheology, speculates on the implications of what astrobiology and related space sciences learn about our future space neighbors.

Physiological Differentiation within a Single-Species Biofilm Fueled by Serpentinization
mBio, 2011 Carbonate chimneys at the Lost City hydrothermal field are coated in biofilms dominated by a single phylotype of archaea known as Lost City Methanosarcinales. In this study, we have detected surprising physiological complexity in single-species biofilms,

The Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.Exopolymeric substances (EPS) produced in the photic zone and surface sediments sequester calcium. Below the sediment surface, heterotrophic bacteria degrade EPS, releasing calcium resulting in carbonate precipitation. This process, which continues for millennia deep in the core, is an important sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Early evolution of purple retinal pigments on Earth and implications for exoplanet biosignatures
, 2018 We propose that retinal-based phototrophy arose early in the evolution of life on Earth, profoundly impacting the development of photosynthesis and creating implications for the search for life beyond our planet.

Survival of fossils under extreme shocks induced by hypervelocity impacts [PDF]
, 2014 Experimental data are shown for survival of fossilized diatoms undergoing shocks in the GPa range. The results were obtained from hypervelocity impact experiments which fired fossilized diatoms frozen in ice into water targets.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Thermal infrared imaging by Longwave Infrared Camera (LIR) aboard JAXA's Venus orbiter Akatsuki has revealed horizontal structures of large‐scale topographic gravity waves (mountain waves) and thermal tides in the Venusian atmosphere. For quantitative analysis of these waves, we developed a radiative transfer model for an atmosphere perturbed ...

Teaching Astrobiology Online [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2004 As part of Swinburne Astronomy Online (SAO), we run an online short course entitled Searching for Extrasolar Planets and Extraterrestrial Life. The main aim of the short course is to act as a “feeder” into our graduate programs and allow students to trial online education while exploring one of the new hot topics of astronomy – astrobiology.I will ...
