| 书目名称 | Planetary and Interstellar Processes Relevant to the Origins of Life | | 编辑 | D. C. B. Whittet | | 视频video | | | 图书封面 |  | | 描述 | These are exciting times for exobiology. The ubiquity oforganic molecules in interstellar clouds, comets and asteroidsstrongly supports a cosmic perspective on the origin of life. Datafrom both ground-based telescopes and the recently launched InfraredSpace Observatory are providing new insight into the complexity ofcarbon-based chemistry beyond the Earth. Meteorites give us solidevidence for extraterrestrial amino acids, and putative fossilevidence for life in a 3.6 billion-year-old Martian meteorite hintsthat life in our system might not be the sole prerogative of theEarth. Giant planets have now been discovered orbiting other stars,and although such planets seem unlikely to be habitable themselves,their existence strongly suggests what many astronomers have longbelieved - that planetary systems are commonplace. .All these topics are reviewed in this volume by active researchers.The level is appropriate for graduate students in astronomy, biology,chemistry, earth sciences, physics, and related disciplines. It willalso provide a valuable source of reference for active researchers inthese fields. | | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | | 关键词 | Cloud; Orbit; Planet; Planetary system; Solar System; amino acids; astronomy; evolution; extraterrestrial li | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-8907-9 | | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-4863-9 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-8907-9 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 1997 |
