The Search for Earth-like Planets: Gliese 12b
The recent discovery of exoplanet Gliese 12b represents a significant milestone in the ongoing quest to find Earth-like planets. With similar size to Venus but slightly smaller than Earth, Gliese…
Astrobiology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. It encompasses the search for conditions that can support life, the understanding of life’s potential existence beyond Earth, and the processes that could lead to the emergence of life. Astrobiology combines elements of various scientific disciplines, including biology, chemistry, geology, and astronomy, to explore the possibility of life on other planets and moons, and to investigate the potential for life in extreme environments on Earth as analogs for extraterrestrial habitats. The field also involves the study of the chemical precursors to life and the implications of discovering extraterrestrial organisms on our understanding of biology and life’s significance in the universe.
