Title:
|
Astrobiology and Life on Other Worlds |
Description:
|
The work this scientist does mostly focuses on microbiology, because there is a thought that if we are able to find life on other worlds, it is most likely to be something like the bacteria we have here on Earth. He tries to figure out how the microbes that live here on Earth change their environment in ways that might be detected from far away in space. That kind of information will eventually help us to collect data from other worlds and use it to say whether or not there is life on those worlds. Join him to learn more about his work. |
