These elements define the opportunities and limitations for life on other worlds. The book argues that life forms we would recognize may be more common in our solar system than many assume. It also considers, however, the possibility of exotic forms of life based on backbones other than carbon, liquids other than water, and energy other than light. The authors offer an operational definition of life and summarize prevailing thoughts on plausible pathways for the origin of life on Earth and other worlds. They discuss remarkable adaptations to extreme environments, the nature and detection of geo- and biosignatures, the future and fate of living systems, and suggestions for the optimization of future exploratory space missions..The entire text has been thoroughly updated in this third edition, with new sections added on exoplanets, synthetic life,the search for extraterrestrial life, and a tour of the bodies in our Solar System for signs of conditions conducive for life. While informed speculation in this emerging field cannot be avoided, the authors | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2018Latest edition | | 关键词 | Adaptation to envirnoment; exraterrestrial life; astrobiology textbook; biosignatures of life; exobiolog | | 版次 | 3 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-97658-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-97658-7 | | copyright | Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2018 |
