Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:
g Abodes - Variations in the Earth's atmospheric oxygen levels are thought to be closely linked to the evolution of life, with strong feedbacks between uni- and multicellular life and oxygen. A new study has shown that coal can give a measure of how much oxygen there was in the past. See article.
g Message - Eternal curiosity might be considered a curse by some, but for Dr. James Benford, it's what drives him - be it at dinner, or while sending radio messages into the heavens. His theories are attracting attention. He hopes his messages are, too. See article.
g Cosmicus - NASA has issued a new grant that bolsters research into the cosmic building blocks of life by funding observations of young solar systems throughout the universe, including our own. See article.
