Could There Be Life On Saturn's Moon Enceladus? (4/22/2008)

Could There Be Life On Saturn's Moon Enceladus?Could microbial life exist inside Enceladus, where no sunlight reaches, photosynthesis is impossible and no oxygen is available? To answer that question, we need look no farther than our own planet to find examples of the types of exotic ecosystems that could make life possible on Saturn's geyser moon. The answer appears to be, yes, it could be possible. ...> Full Article



For the paper trail of life on Mars or other planets, find cellulose (4/1/2008)

Earth: A Borderline Planet for Life? (1/11/2008)

Earth: A Borderline Planet for Life?Our planet is changing before our eyes, and as a result, many species are living on the edge. Yet Earth has been on the edge of habitability from the beginning. New work by astronomers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics shows that if Earth had been slightly smaller and less massive, it would not have plate tectonics - the forces that move continents and build mountains. And without plate tectonics, life might never have gained a foothold on our world. ...> Full Article

Physicists Discover Inorganic Dust With Life-like Qualities (8/17/2007)

Physicists Discover Inorganic Dust With Life-like QualitiesCould extraterrestrial life be made of corkscrew-shaped particles of interstellar dust? Intriguing new evidence of life-like structures that form from inorganic substances in space are revealed today in the New Journal of Physics. The findings hint at the possibility that life beyond earth may not necessarily use carbon-based molecules as its building blocks. They also point to a possible new explanation for the origin of life on earth. ...> Full Article


Presence of Essential Molecule in Space Could Support Life on Other Planets (8/16/2007)

Some of the elements necessary to support life on Earth are widely known - oxygen, carbon and water, to name a few. Just as important in the existence of life as any other component is the presence of adenine, an essential organic molecule. Without it, the basic building blocks of life would not come together. Scientists have been trying to find the origin of Earth's adenine and where else it might exist in the solar system. University of Missouri-Columbia researcher Rainer Glaser may have the answer. ...> Full Article
