NASA Astrobiology News Conference: NASA To Hold News Conference On Extraterrestrial Life

NASA will holding an what it is calling an important Astrobiology news conference on December 2nd which leads to the question what is Astrobiology?

Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe....NASA’s Astrobiology Program addresses three fundamental questions: How does life begin and evolve? Is there life beyond Earth and, if so, how can we detect it? What is the future of life on Earth and in the universe?

The press release says "NASA will hold a news conference at 2 p.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 2, to discuss an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life.

The phrase "finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life" is worth repeating. While no one seriously expects for long hidden UFO or Alien footage to be finally revealed, or for ET or ALF or to be there, it should be a fascinating stuff.

The participants in the news cast which will be streamed live include

Mary Voytek, director, Astrobiology Program, NASA Headquarters, Washington

Felisa Wolfe-Simon, NASA astrobiology research fellow, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, Calif.

Pamela Conrad, astrobiologist, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md.

Steven Benner, distinguished fellow, Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution, Gainesville, Fla.

James Elser, professor, Arizona State University, Tempe
