ASTROBIOLOGY

Join Lewis Dartnell, author of 'The Knowledge: How to Rebuild our World from Scratch' and 'Origins: How the Earth Made Us', and research scientist exploring the potential for microbial life on Mars. The Royal Astronomical Society is collaborating with the Linnean Society to present a series of informal, one-hour astrobiology-focussed events, with a talk and a 20-30 minute Q&A. We have asked our speakers to share their field of science and the path they took to get there tailored for GCSE and A Level science students. Most importantly, we want to make sure that we give students ample time to ask their questions. Powered by Restream https://restream.io/

Join Karen Olsson-Francis who is a microbiologist by training, and her research focuses on life at the limits! The Royal Astronomical Society is collaborating with the Linnean Society to present a series of informal, one-hour astrobiology-focussed events, with a talk and a 20-30 minute Q&A.

Over the last few decades, scientists have found thousands of planets beyond our own. Some of those planets might be habitable, and perhaps even inhabited already; but how can we tell? Clara Sousa-Silva, a fellow at the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, looks for signs of life on other planets using astronomical tools to detect faint signals emitted by potential alien biospheres. In this presentation, Clara draws on her experience investigating strange molecules on strange planets, such as her recent work exploring the possibility of phosphine on Venus, answering the question: "Would we know life if we saw it?"

#spacedout! #astrobiology #cosmic #stars #universe #biotech #consciousness #space This was initially a conversation about stardust which turned into a full episode of Spaced Out! In this episode, Graham takes me on a trip through the science of stars, astrobiology and its place in the universe, consciousness, the future of biotech and more all with a cosmic twist!

A historic moment is on the horizon for NASA’s first asteroid sample return mission, OSIRIS-REx. On Oct. 20, the spacecraft will descend to asteroid Bennu’s surface, touch down for a few seconds and collect a sample of the asteroid’s rocks and dust, which will be returned to Earth for study. NASA astrobiologists Dr. Jason Dworkin and Dr. Scott Sandford explain the importance of the OSIRIS-REx mission in the quest to understand the role that asteroids and other small bodies play in the origins of life on Earth. #ToBennuAndBack asteroidmission.org astrobiology.nasa.gov Featuring Dr. Jason Dworkin (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) Dr. Scott Sandford (NASA Ames Research Center) Video & images are courtesy of NASA and its affiliates. Music by Bensound.com (License certificate #1999293) Directed & Edited by Mike Toillion About OSIRIS-REx: NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer (OSIRIS-REx) spacecraft is the first U.S. mission to return samples from an asteroid to Earth, addressing multiple NASA Solar System Exploration objectives. OSIRIS-REx launched from Cape Canaveral on September 8, 2016. OSIRIS-REx completed its 1.2 billion-mile journey to arrive at the asteroid Bennu on December 3, 2018. On October 20th, 2020, it will make its first attempt to capture a sample of the asteroid's regolith. Asteroids are the leftover debris from the solar system formation process that began over four billion years ago, and they can teach us a lot about the history of the Sun and planets. Bennu may contain the molecular precursors to the origin of life and the Earth’s oceans. Bennu is also a potentially hazardous asteroid that has a relatively high probability of impacting the Earth late in the 22nd century. OSIRIS-REx will determine Bennu’s physical and chemical properties, which could be critical for developing an impact mitigation mission in the future.

A new study suggests the recipe is different but Saturn’s moon Titan has the necessary ingredients for life. Catherine Neish, a member of Western’s Institute for Earth and Space Exploration (Western Space), together with her colleagues at the European Space Agency (ESA) investigated Titan using advanced imaging technology.

Researchers from Cardiff University and MIT just published a paper in Nature in which they claim to have found phosphine, a possible biosignature, in the clouds of Venus' atmosphere. Join David Grinspoon, astrobiologist at the Planetary Science Institute who serves on the SETI Institute's Science Advisory Board, and Nathalie Cabrol, Director of the Carl Sagan Center at the SETI Institute, in a discussion about the possibility of life on Venus.

Scientists at MIT, Cardiff University, and elsewhere have observed what may be signs of life in the clouds of Earth's planetary neighbor, Venus. (Learn more: http://news.mit.edu/2020/life-venus-phosphine-0914) Watch more videos from MIT: http://www.youtube.com/user/MITNewsOffice?sub_confirmation=1 The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, technology, humanities and social sciences; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place. The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video.

The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover successfully launched on July 30, 2020, is now en route toward Mars. The mission will pave the way for future human expeditions to Mars and demonstrates technologies that could be used by future Mars explorers.
