Exobiology

by Robert Bisno

conclusively proves that plants get more than enough sunlight than is needed to survive and spread, so much more that they can reject a significant fraction of that sunlight by reflecting it. unless the biochem driving extraterrestrial... I suspect black plants would more likely evolve on worlds with less light available (orbiting brown dwarfs, or in really distant orbits, for example), than on worlds with plenty of light. black plants, pigmented to take in every photon they can, should evolve only on worlds where light is scarce by comparison.

Intro to Exobiology on Europa

Pan through our solar system and join us on the quest to find life on Europa, on of Jupiter's moons. Epic.

Mars gets the (irrational?) chopping block by NASA

21.05.12

Based on unidentified sources inside of NASA, the U.S. space agency will have its budget cut for 2013.

Consequently,it is being reported that it has decided to concentrate on the exploration of the far reaches of the universe, that is, space outside of the solar system, rather than on the exploration of the solar system itself.

So, it will maintain the current amount of money it will spend outside of the solar system, but will cut money is will use to explore our solar system.

Included within these expected cuts are two missions to Mars, one originally scheduled to lift-off in 2016 (Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) will deliver the ExoMars EDM lander to Mars) and a second one in 2018 (ExoMars rover to Mars, where ExoMars is short for Exobiology on Mars).

However, these cuts do not mean that NASA will NOT be exploring the solar system, only that it will have less money dedicated to such neighborhood explorations.

What are all or some sub areas of science like Exobiology, Paleontology and Archeology?

I believe that you will find the last website listed below the most interesting...it is provided by wikipedia...the list is too extensive to begin to retype in this format (YaHoo! Answers). So, just link to the "Fields_of_science" link below

What is the scope in Exobiology?

Aug 20, 2006 by tre q | Posted in Astronomy & Space

Is there any scope for any good job concerning this subject? If someone out there know something,please give me more details.Tell me about the job opportunities available in India & USA.the details should include all the qualifications for this also.

Exobiologists attempt to study the idea and probability that life may be possible elsewhere in the universe.

However, since we are only familiar with the carbon-based life of this world, it is 100% theoretical conjecture at this point.
