Sinopse

Astrobiology and Life explores the captivating quest to discover life beyond Earth, a field fueled by advancements across multiple scientific disciplines. This book examines what makes a planet habitable, delving into the characteristics of exoplanets and the search for biosignatures, which are indicators of past or present life. One intriguing fact is that extremophiles, organisms thriving in extreme conditions on Earth, inform our understanding of where life might exist elsewhere. The book offers a detailed look at how NASA and ESA missions contribute to this search, emphasizing the rigorous scientific methods used in astrobiology research.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental principles like defining life and habitable zones, then moving to potential habitats in our solar system, such as Mars and Europa. It dedicates considerable attention to exoplanets and the challenges of detecting life's signals in their atmospheres. What sets this book apart is its integrated approach, synthesizing knowledge from planetary science, chemistry, and biology to provide a comprehensive view.

 
Ultimately, Astrobiology and Life considers the profound implications of discovering life beyond Earth, addressing the ethical and philosophical questions that would inevitably arise.

    Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it accounts for a significant portion of the universe’s mass. It has been a subject of scientific inquiry for over a century, and yet, it remains largely elusive. The term "dark matter" was first coined in the 1930s by astronomer Fritz Zwicky when he observed that galaxies in clusters were moving much faster than expected based on the visible matter they contained. Zwicky hypothesized that there must be some unseen mass, which he referred to as "dark matter," to explain the extra gravitational pull. This idea was revolutionary at the time, but it took decades for the concept of dark matter to gain widespread acceptance in the scientific community. 
    In the following years, astronomers and physicists continued to gather indirect evidence for dark matter’s existence. The observation of galaxy rotation curves provided another compelling clue. Galaxies, such as our Milky Way, were found to rotate faster at their outer edges than could be explained by the visible matter alone. If only the mass of the stars and gas were considered, the galaxies would not be able to maintain their rotation speeds without breaking apart. However, the additional gravitational influence of dark matter seemed to explain this discrepancy, pointing to its presence. 
    Despite this evidence, scientists still have no direct way to detect dark matter. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to traditional telescopes and detectors. The most that can be done is to observe its effects on visible matter, radiation, and gravitational forces. The hunt for dark matter has since become a driving force in astrophysics and particle physics, with scientists developing new methods and tools to try and detect it.

    No need to travel halfway round the globe to spot iconic wildlife – it's right here on our doorstep in the UK and Steve Wright, keen amateur naturalist, travels from the Isle of Man to Norfolk, to the Orkneys, Northern Ireland and everywhere in-between on his various short holiday expeditions, clutching his specific wildlife wish-list for each trip.  
    The result is an inspiring and engaging diary of his personal encounters with white-tailed eagles, otters, bottlenose dolphins, fulmars, puffins, osprey, sand lizards, even red-necked wallabies. And the characters he meets on the way. He hears snipe drumming, watches a shrew in Wales, admires pilot whales off Lewis.  
    Steve's wildlife travel diaries give excellent practical tips, such as bird-hide etiquette, how to identify birds on the wing, how to consult local wildlife rangers about what might be spotted on each outing and where to find that species.  
    But most importantly his highly-readable wildlife travels are a call to others to book themselves in to pubs and small hotels the length and breadth of Britain and follow his example, for a series of fun British wildlife safaris.

    Long before we had names for them, the stars told us stories. They shimmered in the night sky, seemingly eternal, guiding ancient travelers and inspiring mythologies. But as science advanced, we discovered that what we saw was only part of the story. A vast, invisible component of the universe lurked beyond the reach of our eyes and instruments—a hidden mass that neither emitted nor reflected light. This was the beginning of our encounter with dark matter and dark energy. 
    In the early 20th century, astronomers began to notice something strange. When they looked at galaxies and observed how stars within them moved, they found that these stars were traveling at speeds that didn’t make sense. Based on the visible matter alone—the stars, gas, and dust—the galaxies should have been flying apart. There simply wasn’t enough gravitational pull to hold them together. Something unseen had to be providing the extra mass needed to bind them. 
    This mysterious substance was dubbed "dark matter." It didn't shine or absorb light, making it completely invisible to traditional telescopes. Yet its gravitational effects were undeniable. It was as if galaxies were embedded in massive halos of invisible material, holding them together with unseen hands. The concept was both unsettling and thrilling—it suggested that the universe was much stranger than we had ever imagined.
