Introduction to Astrobiology
In this introductory lecture, Dr. Gerda Horneck of the DLR Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne describes Astrobiology as a newly emerging field of science.
Astrobiology comprises the study of the overall pattern of chemical evolution of potential precursors of life, in the interstellar medium, and on the planets and small bodies of our solar system. Astrobiology also consists of studying the history of life on Earth back to its roots, deciphering the environments of planets in our solar system and of their satellites and searching for other planetary systems in our Galaxy.
Hereby, Astrobiology provides clues to the understanding of the origin, evolution and distribution of life and its interaction with the environment, here on Earth and in the Universe.
I'm sorry I meant ESA is mainly located in Paris…
Not even on the night side?
well the atmospheric layer on venus is moving very quickly. so the archeas would have to move as well to avoid the sun. I really doubt that 🙂
I heard on fixed orbit plantes there´re sweet spots of near cicular wheather systems and as venus rotates retrograde i thought this is similar on venus but actually i have no idea and i´m just speculating how transforming its atmosphere`d be possible. I don´t know whether archea could survive in pure sulphuric acid either…
I just found out that there are actually theories about microorganisms in the atmosphere of venus. There are some hints but real proof would only be there with an actual mission to the atmosphere. maybe in a few years we will know for sure
I´m phantasising about geneticly modified archea namely extremophiles accustomed to sulfur geysirs equipped with a bioluminescence gene (for better distant observation) altering the atmosphere.
Actually i think vernusian gravity makes colonization a hec of a lot easier if not for the deadly pressure… 😀
But in case local microbes are allready living there maybe a virus infection could do the job.
Dude. Space man,
You wanna talk bout space
Bro
Aliens and shit man like
Lots if planets and shit man
nice
comic sans omg
