Summary:
Describes the startling discoveries being made in the very real science of astrobiology, an intriguing new field that blends astronomy, biology, and geology to explore the possibility of
life
on other planets. Jeffrey Bennett takes readers
beyond
UFOs
to discuss some of the tantalizing questions astrobiologists grapple with every day: What is
life
and how does it begin? What makes a planet or moon habitable? Is there
life
on Mars or elsewhere in the solar system? How can
life
be recognized on distant worlds? Is it likely to be microbial, more biologically complex--or even intelligent? What would such a discovery mean for
life
here on Earth?--From publisher description.
