Europa Clipper: The Moon Mission Making Waves
Astrobiologists hope this mission will help answer a couple of big questions in astrobiology.
Plate Tectonics and Scientific Discovery
Plate tectonics is important for advanced life in multiple ways and planets with plate tectonics are very rare.
Study: Geological Habitability Parameters Imply Earth is Special and Advanced Life Extremely Rare
One thing that is likely to get some pushback is the study’s claim that modern-style plate tectonics on Earth did not commence until the Neoproterozoic.
Enceladus as a Habitability Test
High up on the astrobiologists’ bucket list for further exploration is a little moon of Saturn. How lively could it be at Enceladus?
Challenges to Terraforming Mars Highlight the Intelligent Design of Earth
A short list of habitability requirements for humans includes the basics of air, water, and food.
