What is life and where can it exist? What searches are being made
to identify conditions for life on other worlds? If
extraterrestrial inhabited worlds are found, how can we explore
them? In this book, two leading astrophysicists provide an engaging
account of where we stand in our quest for habitable environments,
in the Solar System and beyond. Starting from basic concepts, the
narrative builds scientifically, including more in-depth material
as boxed additions to the main text. The authors recount
fascinating recent discoveries from space missions and observations
using ground-based telescopes, of possible life-related artefacts
in Martian meteorites, extrasolar planets, and subsurface oceans on
Europa, Titan and Enceladus. They also provide a forward look to
future missions. This is an exciting, informative read for anyone
interested in the search for habitable and inhabited planets, and
an excellent primer for students in astrobiology, habitability,
planetary science and astronomy.
