Nitrogen is a major nutrient for all life on Earth and could plausibly play a similar role in extraterrestrial biospheres.

I’ve also been doing NASA-funded research for a number of years, and I was curator of astrobiology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science unt

Scientists from the Cardiff Center for Astrobiology have developed a model showing that our solar system goes through the plane of the galaxy every

One of the primary goals of the Curiosity mission to Mars has been to search for and hopefully identify organic compounds — the carbon-based molecu

According to Astrobiology Magazine, the process, which is called nitrogen fixation, involves breaking down powerful chemical bonds that hold paired

David Grinspoon, astrobiologist and first Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, has published a new book.

Grinspoon is an astrobiologist (Planetary Science Institute), which means he studies life on Earth and on other planets.

Recent observations indicate potentially carbon-rich exoplanet atmospheres.

Whatever's out there might be really strange, unrecognizable. And the top people in astrobiology are talking about what to look for.

In this cluster, a giant galaxy is growing by feeding on the soup of cold gas in which it is submerged," said Bjorn Emonts of the Center for A

That is the noticeable difference in the cluster, as explained by Bjorn Emonts of the Center for Astrobiology in Spain.

"In the local universe we see galaxies merging, and we expected to observe that the formation of supergalaxies took place in the same way, in
