Where would you look for alien life? An astronomer and science popularizer explains the basics of astrobiology to outline five plausible scenarios for finding extraterrestrials Long before space travel was possible, the idea of life beyond Earth transfixed humans. In this fascinating book, astronomer Jon Willis explores the science of astrobiology and the possibility of locating other life in our own galaxy. Describing the most recent discoveries by space exploration missions, including the Kepler space telescope, the Mars Curiosity rover, and the New Horizons probe, Willis asks readers to imagine--and choose among--five scenarios for finding life. He encourages us to wonder whether life might exist within Mars's subsoil ice. He reveals the vital possibilities on the water-ice moons Europa and Enceladus. He views Saturn's moon Titan through the lens of our own planet's ancient past. And, he even looks beyond our solar system, investigating the top candidates for a "second Earth" in a myriad of exoplanets and imagining the case of a radio signal arriving from deep space. Covering the most up-to-date research, this accessibly written book provides readers with the basic knowledge necessary to decide where they would look for alien life.

The search for life in other worlds begins with the search for a habitable planet. This book explores the “Goldilocks Zone,” a defined area that is perfect for harboring life in our universe. Readers will find out how scientists are finding habitable planets by using terrestrial and orbiting telescopes to search these regions. Readers will also get to know how extreme zones on Earth are helping scientists redefine their concept of “habitable” and what kind of life we might find. Fascinating full-color photographs and artist renderings from NASA illustrate this fascinating hunt.

With the soothing rhythm of a bedtime story and the scientific wonder of a nature doc, comes a celebration of the moon and all the creatures who rely on its light to find their way home. Under the glow of a shimmering moon, creatures great and small creep out of their dens, using its light to hunt, fend off predators, build their nests or build families. As the moon changes phases these animals adapt their behavior to match its waxing and waning—while human animals look on in wonder. As Earth's closest companion in space, the moon has fascinated humankind for generations, and this nonfiction picture book sheds light on the mysterious ways it affects life on Earth. With luminous illustrations by Jessica Lanan and a lyrical text that is part lullaby and part scientific resource, Thank You, Moon is a treasure for all ages to enjoy.

Barrie Jones addresses the question "are we alone?", which is one of the most frequently asked questions by scientists and non-scientists alike. In The Search for Life Continued, this question is addressed scientifically, and the author is not afraid to include speculation. Indeed, the author believes beyond reasonable doubt that we are not alone and this belief is based firmly on frontier science of the most imaginative kind. The author concentrates on planetary systems beyond our own but starts with life on Earth, which is the only life we know to exist, and which provides guidance on how best to search for life elsewhere. Planets are the most likely abode of life and so we start the quest with the search for planets beyond the Solar System – exoplanets. The methods of searching are outlined and the nature of hundreds of exoplanetary systems so far discovered described. In the near future we expect to discover habitable Earth-like planets. But are they actually inhabited? How could we tell? All will be revealed. This full color book is written for everybody who wants to stay in close contact with the latest on possible life on other planets.

In the vast expanse of the universe, the stars that limit our imagination are filled with infinite mysteries. With each step we take towards the depths of space, humanity's journey of exploration, fueled by boundless curiosity, continues as an unending adventure. "Beyond Planets: Quest for Life and Future Perspectives" is a part of this epic journey. This book is a captivating voyage intertwined with science, technology, and philosophy, nourishing our curiosity about distant worlds among the stars. Exoplanets, planets outside our Solar System, have become one of the most exciting and rapidly evolving research topics in astronomy today. Within these pages, you will discover the stories of scientists, philosophers, and researchers who seek traces of life in the cosmos. Amidst the complex dance of planets, stars, and galaxies, their tales of exoplanet discovery will challenge your imagination. As we explore how exoplanets were found, what habitable zones truly mean, the impact of atmospheres and climates on life, and even the possibility of intelligent beings, we will also explore how these discoveries have shaped our worldview. Additionally, we will confront ethical and scientific challenges, such as exoplanet colonization and its potential future implications. In this book, you will witness not only the technicalities of scientific research but also the power of imagination and humanity's unyielding desire for exploration. Exoplanets are not merely subjects of scientific inquiry; they embody humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and represent a reflection of our collective cosmic curiosity. While exploring the complexities of exoplanets, you will bear witness to the immense power of imagination, ingenuity, and the potential for life beyond Earth. Exoplanets are not just distant celestial bodies; they are gateways to unraveling the grand mysteries of the cosmos. In the immensity of space, on the journey through the stars, we stand on the threshold of understanding the grandeur and intricacy of the universe. In this book, we extend our invitation to embark on this extraordinary odyssey. Uncover the secrets of exoplanets, push the boundaries of your imagination, and join us on this epic quest that transcends time and space.

'Highly recommended' Financial Times Today we know of only a single planet that hosts life: the Earth. But across a Universe of at least 100 billion possibly habitable worlds, surely our planet isn't the only one that, like the porridge Goldilocks sought, is just right for life? Astrobiologists search the galaxy for conditions that are suitable for life to exist, focusing on similar worlds located at the perfect distance from their Sun, within the aptly named 'Goldilocks Zone'. Such a place might have liquid water on its surface, and may therefore support a thriving biosphere. What might life look like on other worlds? It is possible to make best-guesses using facts rooted in science, and by studying 'extremophiles' – organisms such as the near-indestructible water bears, which can survive in the harshest conditions that Earth, and even space, can offer. Goldilocks and the Water Bears is a tale of the origins and evolution of life, and the quest to find it on other planets, on moons, in other galaxies, and throughout the Universe.
