Crudity of methods. They are doing the best they can, and it really is an amazing technical achievement to send a robot 35 million miles away, have it scoop up soil, and return a basic analysis of it. But it is still largely a case of the four blind men describing an elephant. The technology will improve, of course, but the current method leads to many ambiguous results, and that is the biggest difficulty in exobiology at this time.

I would think exobiology is the study of living things on other planets, though we still have not found living things on other planets.

The nature of management exobiology involves studying potential life forms and ecosystems beyond Earth, focusing on how they could be managed and sustained. Its significance lies in preparing for future space exploration and colonization, ensuring that any extraterrestrial life or environment is respected and preserved. This field combines principles of biology, ecology, and management to address ethical and practical challenges, fostering a responsible approach to interplanetary interactions. Ultimately, it aims to inform policies and strategies for the exploration of other planets while safeguarding their ecological integrity.

The prefix exo- is not a word in itself. It is added to root words to indicate the meaning "outside" or "outward".

Some examples are exobiology (study of theoretical non-terrestrial lifeforms), exothermal (releasing heat to the outside) and exoskeleton (the hard covering of animals who usually have no internal skeleton).

The question "is water compulsory for all life forms"is not specific,all life forms known to man today requires some amount of the compound H2O or water for their cell structures. while this is true there may be unknown life forms existing in other celestial bodies.The significance of life on other planets is expressed by the formation of exobiology or the study of life on other bodies outside Earth.

Biosafety: prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health.

The international Biosafety Protocol deals primarily with the agricultural definition but many advocacy groups seek to expand it to include post-genetic threats: new molecules, artificial life forms, and even robots which may compete directly in the natural food chain.

Biosafety in agriculture, chemistry, medicine, exobiology and beyond will likely require application of the precautionary principle, and a new definition focused on the biological nature of the threatened organism rather than the nature of the threat.

My roommate in college considered a career in exobiology, but ended up doing professional research in microbiology instead. Legitimate carreer opportunities are not so great in that field at the present time. It is, more or less, a science without subject matter. There has been quite a bit of speculative work done, regarding the potential directions evolution may have taken on alien worlds. But nothing concrete. There are illigitimate areas for employment. Hypnosis regression therapy, conventions, book deals and UFO trade show circuits. I put these a step above television evangelists, because I think most of them are sincere. They may be sorely mistaken, but at least they are not hypocrites.

There is no field of "alien research", because as yet there is nothing to study; i.e., no aliens are known to exist. You might go into exobiology, but this seems inconsistent with a degree in aero engineering.

I would recommend going to work for Rocketdyne, General Dynamics, McDonnell Douglas, Aerojet General or Morton Thiokol. Outside the United States, Arianespace might be a good option.

Astronomy is the overall title for a variety of sciences that involve the study of space and that outside of our planet. Some types of it as Astrophysics, Exobiology, Planetary or Exo Planetary astronomy, and Radio Astronomy just to name a few. Astronomy has many parts, such as planets, stars, black holes, star clusters, etc. They all have to do with space.

Exobiology speculates that microscopic life originated elsewhere and was brought here by a meteorite sent off by some violent distaster, which while it has not been proven is very scientifically plausible, as germs and viruses have proven to be able to survive in outer space and there is a gigantic gash on mars (a planet with water likely to have once supported life) which could have sent such a meteorite into outer space. Also, since comets are thought to be made substantially of water ice, it is theorized that they are the primary source of earth's water. It may seem unlikely, but in the early stages of earth's development there were probably many, many more comets than there are today, and it is not impossible that enough comets could have collided with earth over millions of years to supply us with our water.

Carl Sagan was born on 9/9/1934 & died on 12/20/1996. He lived in Brooklyn New York. He was a consultant & adviser for N.A.S.A. in the 1950's.he briefed the Apollo astronauts before their flights to the Moon, and was an experimenter on the Mariner, Viking, Voyager, and Galileo expeditions to the planets. He helped solve the mysteries of the high temperature of Venus (a massive greenhouse effect), the seasonal changes on Mars (windblown dust) and the reddish haze of Titan (complex organic molecules).

For his work, Dr. Sagan received the NASA Medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement and for Distinguished Public Service twice, as well as the NASA Apollo Achievement Award.

Asteroid 2709 Sagan is named after him. He was also given the John F. Kennedy Astronautics Award of the American Astronautical Society, the Explorers Club 75th Anniversary Award, the Konstantin Tsiolokovsky Medal of the Soviet Cosmonautics Federation, and the Masursky Award of the American Astronomical Society:

"...for his extraordinary contributions to the development of planetary science... As a scientist trained in both astronomy and biology, Dr. Sagan made seminal contributions to the study of planetary atmospheres, planetary surfaces, the history of the Earth, and exobiology. Many of the most productive planetary scientists working today are his present and former students and associates." He is also the 1994 recipient of the Public Welfare Medal, the highest award of the National Academy of Sciences for "distinguished contributions in the application of science to the public welfare."

xtraterrestrial life is defined as life which does not originate from planet Earth. The existence of life outside the planet is theoretical and all assertions of such life remain disputed. Hypotheses regarding the origin(s) of extraterrestrial life, if it exists, are as follows: one proposes that it may have emerged, independently, from different places in the universe. An alternative hypothesis is panspermia, which holds that life emerges from one location, then spreads betweenhabitable planets. These two hypotheses are not mutually exclusive. The study and theorization of extraterrestrial life is known as astrobiology, exobiology or xenobiology. Speculated forms of extraterrestrial life range from life at the scale of bacteria to sapient or sentient beings. Suggested locations which might have once developed, or presently continue to host life similar to our own, include the planets Venus[1] and Mars, moons of Jupiter and Saturn (e.g. Europa,[2] Enceladus and Titan) and Gliese 581 c and d, recently discovered to be near Earth-mass extrasolar planets apparently located in their star's habitable zone, and with the potential to have liquid water.[3] To date, no credible evidence of extraterrestrial life has been discovered which has been generally accepted by the mainstream scientific community. All other proposals, including beliefs that some UFOs are of extraterrestrial origin (see extraterrestrial hypothesis) and claims of alien abduction, are considered hypothetical by most scientists. In 2006, New Scientist published a list of ten controversial pieces of evidence that extraterrestrial life exists,[4] but scientists do not consider them credible since no direct observational evidence has been encountered.

The ongoing interaction between extraterrestrial intelligence and human and related species (such as dogs and horses, having the possibility of training for service and response to communication) entails removal of living specimens from the Earth that have a developing foetus, and (throwing the baby away with the bathwater) the practical assumption is made that the woman is deranged or hysterical in reporting an abduction and simply attention-getting.

Little or no study is made of the developing foetus.

Very little observation is necessary to chart the genetic alterations of a consistent nature in the individuals born of abducted mothers. Immediately obvious changes in the size of the skull surrounding the brain can be observed, characteristic assymmetry of the ears and an overall distortion of facial features is fairly typical, an extended interval of gestation to mature an additional feature in the altered chromosomes, and one finds the individual has a preprogrammed knowledge acquisition propensity quite at war with the attempts of teachers to guide development, construction of antigravity technology and of quantal energy apparatus (basic extraterrestrial technologies) are typical. One can assume this is a technosocial intervention, not so much to supply the book but rather the brain that could understand it. Work with such living artifacts whom incidentally are also enhanced value citizens of various countries on the Earth can enable one to glean an impact of a future trade or military recruitment program by extraterrestrials of specially adapted human beings is underway. Logically at some point such reformed individuals will be engaged by further contact however the logic of such an alteration precludes the probability of being able to understand the data obtained. Likely one would have to obtain the co-operation of the altered specimens (legal and enfranchised human beings by the way) to chart some of the direction of the interaction. Logic again considering the strategic position of the Solar System as a peripheral in the Galaxy points to an extraterrestrial interest in further interaction with the human species, for the obvious reason that the peoples of the Earth gather data from observation of the surrounding skies, and the Earth would naturally form a forward observation base for information regarding extragalactic incursions, of probable relevance to the security of inhabitants of more Galactically internal cultures which again logically would have existing interplanetary trade based on the density of stars and planets closer to the Galactic core, and be "the wealthy area" of the Galaxy having something to lose if lean and hungry extragalactic forces begin to penetrate the Galaxy. In a crude sense human beings are being adapted as watchdogs against possibly unwished intruders. This alteration in human genetics is of logically obvious economic and security benefit to the inhabitants of other planets of the Galaxy dwelling closer to the core of the Galaxy where interplanetary trade would presumably have been flourishing for some time creating a developed understanding between cultures and an enviable state of amenity and wealth. From a Terrestrial perspective we could engage an interest of our own, how to ingratiate ourselves in prospect of improved health and longevity, and what benefits might accrue by trade with other worlds for the inhabitants of the Earth. Now apply that logically and we see that other civilizations might like to leave fewer clues to their home planets, so there is likely some restriction or filtering of such data as might come with trade. Plans within plans. Chemically pure water is one possible export, and right now we are in receipt of a driven import or foreign aid consisting of enhanced cerebral capacity in the direction of construction or repair of interstellar space vehicles. For instance look at www.searlmagnetics.com and start catching up. I see this is in response to the question how to study exobiology. Simply meet people on the Earth who build flying saucers and the associated drive and power technologies, and observe the altered genetics without become obviously racist, a few tactful and helpful questions regarding parental abduction during foetal development, factor in the times of the abductions in relation to the orbit of the Earth and other features, and some parameters begin to appear as might pertain to some attempt at peaceful trade and then to avoid a civil war within the human zone over perceived privilege accumulation by a military and security elite the actual gain of Mr. or Mrs. Citizen of the Earth needs to be spelt out. One likely fringe benefit could be to attempt to make it to a privileged evacuation list for transfer to planets of the inner Galaxy in case of a hostile or dangerous extragalactic incursion facing this part of the Galaxy. Some young men might be attracted to wear special uniforms and play with special weapons as part of the defence of this Galaxy. Logically this shifts all strategy from defence of the Earth to the greater consideration of Galactic security in concert with our reasonably beneficial neighbours, as in they could have wiped us out but apparently have some plans as pertains to our projected role in transferring services. We have a use that at least momentarily precludes our extermination. The obvious investment in making contact with us points at an overriding economic prospectus, we are to be made wealthy in the interests of providing involvement competition and trade stimulus among the involved inner planetary cultures. This projects both fear and hope not simply into the international arena but the more interesting and diverse or probably total brain fatigue area of interstellar economics and concomitant security requirements. So meeting the neighbours can begin with meeting their representatives on this planet.

THIS WILL RESULT IN YOUR CAPACITY TO ASSIMILATE KNOWLEDGE GOING INTO OVERLOAD. Your unaltered brain will get swamped trying to assimilate knowledge for which you have no adaptation and you will need a consultative panel the size of an entire University faculty to cope with what in truth "you asked for". I say this after some contact with Quantal energy technology. Even being a competent Nuclear Physicist will not prepare you for energy interactions in the pre-particulate level of matter. Energy is tapped in the part of the matter formation cycle prior to formation of nucleides. That instantly opens up flight at velocities exceeding the speed of light, alternate time and space continua, obviation of fossil fuel technologies, likely ability to preform and duplicate solid objects by direction of formative energies, teleportation, trade with alternate continua, time travel and on and on and on...also a plethora of quality control and safety requirements to stem the Tsunami wave of involved perils and risks as the human race begins to play with a totally undefined new fire. This exploding research frontier is dangerously undermanned by unrecruited and untrained knowledge specialists in areas where the responsibilities of specialization and training are in statu nascendi. Lovely delivery of a surprise package of no included manual. We find out fast how to handle delivery before it helps us injure ourselves. A breeder reactor one might say of a question explosion with only the beginning of a responsive knowledge explosion. Too interesting.

In science fiction, aliens are fictional organisms that did not originate on the planet earth. Sometimes the term is restricted to nonhuman intelligent species from other planets; sometimes it includes organisms that are not intelligent.

In science, an alien life form is one that is not native to the planet Earth. Science has not identified any alien life forms, but there are science-based efforts to assess what they might be like, so they can be looked for. These efforts include fields such as exobiology and projects such as SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence).

In law and human politics, an alien is a human being who is not a citizen of the country making an assessment of who is an alien.

Aliens may also be of Machine intelligence or artificial life and as such not "organisms". Life as we know it and understand it is but one possibility. the term "alien" is used to describe that which is different than the norm, or from us.
a intergalactic creature that has not been prove to be true and alive there is no proof yet but someday there might be proof they exist

Cyril Ponnamperuma (16 October 1923-20 December 1994) was a scientist in the fields of chemical evolution and the origin of life.

BiographyCyril Ponnamperuma was born in Galle, Sri Lanka on 16 October 1923. After completing his early education with flying colours at St. Aloysius' College, Galle and subsequently at St. Joseph's College, Colombo, Ponnamperuma proceeded to India and in 1948 obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy from the University of Madras.

Later he moved to the United Kingdom and enrolled at Birkbeck, University of London, where he obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry in 1959. At the same time he had the opportunity to work with Professor J. D. Bernal, a pioneering scientist engaged in research on the origin of life. Afterwards he proceeded to the United States, where in 1962 he received a doctorate in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley under the direction of the Nobel Laureate Melvin Calvin.

In 1962, he was honoured with a National Academy of Science resident associateship with NASA at Ames Research Center. In 1963 he joined NASA's Exobiology Division and take over the helm of the Chemical Evolution Division. He was selected as the principal investigator for analysis of lunar soil brought to earth by Project Apollo.

Thereafter, he was closely involved with NASA in the Viking and Voyager programmes and was offered membership in both the Space Science Advisory Council and Life Sciences Advisory Council of NASA.

According to Arthur C. Clarke, "No other scientist of Sri Lankan origin was internationally known and respected as he was". He produced over 400 scientific publications and held a number of prestigious academic posts during his rather short lifespan.

His studies focused mainly towards the origin of life, but only after he was selected for the analysis of the moon dust in the 'Apollo Programme' his name and photo appeared on the cover-pages of world class newspapers and magazines such as Time and Newsweek.

The "Third World Academy of Sciences" (TWAS) based in Trieste, Italy elected him as its vice president in 1989 and appointed him Chairman of the International Network of Science Centres in selected developing Countries. He contributed immensely to the Third World Foundation of North America as its Chairman.

He was the first director of the "Arthur C. Clarke Centre for Modern Technologies" in Sri Lanka, and in 1984 was appointed science advisor to the President of Sri Lanka by the late President J. R. Jayewardene. He was so fortunate, indeed, as to be associated with many universities in the USA and other countries. He served as a distinguished Lecturer at the Soviet Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Sciences for a considerable period.

The Atomic Energy Commission of India offered him an assignment as a visiting Professor in 1967. UNESCO appointed him for a period covering 1970-1971 as its Director of the Programme for the development of basic research in Sri Lanka. After that, in his endeavour to widen the horizon of knowledge of the fellow human beings the distinguished Academic apex he selected was University of Maryland in USA. Since 1971 he provided his service to that University as a Professor of Chemistry as well as the Director of the laboratory of chemical evolution.

His contribution to the development of International Programmes of that University was acknowledged in deserved manner in January 1991, the first distinguished International Service Award was presented to him by that university. Among the many awards that Professor Ponnamperuma received one can mention the "Alexander Oparin Gold Medal" for the 'Best sustained Programme' on the origin of life awarded by the International Society for the study of the origin of life in 1980. In recognition of his service to Sri Lanka, he was conferred, "The Honour of Vidya Jyothy" at the 1990 National Day investiture ceremony by President Ranasinghe Premadasa.

The presence of this great son of Sri Lanka, was so conspicuous all over the world as to be nominated to the prestigious Pontical Academy of Sciences, a body represented by world-renowned scientists who excelled in the spheres of mathematical and experimental sciences.

The Academy of Creative Endeavors, Moscow, awarded him the Harold Urey Prize and the Academy Medal for his outstanding contribution to the study of the origin of life.

His participation in the Sri Lankan scientific arena began in 1984, when he became the science adviser to the late Sri Lanka President J. R. Jayewardena. Within a matter of months he was appointed Director of the Institute of Fundamental Studies. His country was fortunate to have a son so highly recognized in the world and so dedicated to many public causes. His organisational abilities and communication skills have been widely acknowledged.

He died soon after suffering a heart attack at the Laboratory of Chemical Evolution, University of Maryland USA.

The remains of Professor Cyril Ponnamperuma were flown to Colombo on January 9, 1995.

Life science is the period in geologic time scale beginning about 65 million years ago and continuing until the present day. Many things that you can do with life science is get two eggs some cake mix and one third of olive oil and stir until soft. Then eat the whole thing without baking it and you will see the amazing results. There may be extreme side effects and you may die, but i doubt it because this has happened to only 5 people out of 7. You can also bake the cookies, but that's no fun. When you do get sick after eating the dough you might have to throw up everything you just ate but don't. The better you hold it in the funner it gets. If the throw up starts to flow out of your butt then maybe you should call the ambulance because that has happened only 0 times out of 10. You should probably not do this because its stupid and its really not fun and you can get seriously sick or injured and also scarred for life. Please Please Please do not try this because then you will die and i will die because i am SO sad that you did this SO DON'T BE STUPID AND LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY. Thank you and have a nice day. And by the way the definition at the top of the page is not the real definition to life science. It is actually the definition to Cenozoic era. Sorry, but I'm really not smart and I didn't pay or anything to do this writing SO don't blame me if you die. Thank you and if you do feel the need to delete this then you may do so because i really don't care at all. Bye!
