- Astrobiology Definition (Astrobiology.com)
"Astrobiology seeks to understand the origin of the building blocks of life, how these biogenic compounds combine to create life, how life affects - and is affected by the environment from which it arose, and finally, whether and how life expands beyond its planet of origin. None of these questions is by any means new - but for the first time since they were posed, these questions may now be answerable. Astrobiology seeks to provide a philosophical and programmatic underpinning whereby life's place in the universe can be explored - at levels of inter-related complexity ranging from molecular to galactic." 02-06
- Astrobiology Goals for NASA (NASA)
"The NASA Astrobiology Roadmap provides guidance for research and technology development across the NASA Enterprises that encompass the space, Earth and biological sciences. The Roadmap is formulated in terms of seven Science Goals that outline key domains of investigation. For each of these goals, Science Objectives outline more specific high priority efforts for the next three to five years. These eighteen objectives will be integrated with NASA strategic planning." 02-06
- Worlds in Our Solar System Where Life Might Exist (Space.com)
"But science grooves on surprises. And one of the big surprises of the past few decades is the discovery of worlds that are warm despite being situated in places where the Sun doesn't shine. Consequently, there are now more than a half-dozen objects among Sol's minions that are considered possible hosts for life." 08-07
