Astrobiologists

They are astrobiologists now, but have backgrounds in physics, planetary sciences, and astrochemistry. ❋ Marc Kaufman (2011)

IRA FLATOW, host: When it comes to porridge, Goldilocks was looking for a bowl that wasn't too hot, wasn't too cold - you know what it was - and astrobiologists like their exoplanets the same way, and astronomers may have dished up just that for them. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But I think the opportunity exists for alien space explorer astrobiologists to miss us, just like it exists for us to miss them. ❋ Unknown (2010)

But among the incoming rocks on display are the Allende meteorite from Mexico, the Orgueil meteorite from France, the Murchison meteorite from Australia—all legendary in the world of meteorites, and of especially great interest to astrobiologists. ❋ Marc Kaufman (2011)

It's up to the astrophysicists and astrobiologists in society to give civilization that time. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In trying to define what makes life possible, astrobiologists are forced to confront another question: Is life inevitable, or the result of a series of accidents? ❋ Marc Kaufman (2011)

Two years ago, NASA researchers detected significant quantities of methane on Mars, which some astrobiologists have speculated could be evidence of life on the Red Planet. ❋ Robert Lee Hotz (2011)

Beneath miles of ice, Europa is home to a giant ocean sixty miles deep and with twice as much water as the oceans of Earth—a prime target for astrobiologists. ❋ Marc Kaufman (2011)

It's this kind of 'logic' that makes ufology and ufologists look like astrophysicists and astrobiologists, which for all practical purposes is precisely what they are. ❋ Unknown (2009)

To think through this question, astrobiologists, like scientists in other areas, have had to consider why the universe we know is so exquisitely fine-tuned. ❋ Marc Kaufman (2011)

And worst the planet may even have microbes which means that human missions could easily contaminate it in a way that makes it useless to the astrobiologists. ❋ Unknown (2009)

No wonder, then, that astrobiologists are hunting for evidence of alien life. ❋ Martin A. Nowak (2011)

Given that unsettling absence, did it really make sense for astrobiologists to apply to the rest of the universe the never-quite-exact definitions we had come up with on Earth? ❋ Marc Kaufman (2011)
