Lecture 25: The Requirements for Life in the Solar System

from Astronomy 141 - Life in the Universe - Autumn Quarter 2009 · host Richard Pogge

Having completed our tour of the Solar System, we now turn to a discussion of the requirements for life, and where those requirements might be satisfied elsewhere in the Solar System. Some - energy, complex chemistry, and liquid water - seem obvious, but they are not the only possibilities or considerations. At the end, we will have a short list of possible places to look, some expected, others surprising. Recorded live on 2009 Oct 29 in Room 1005 Smith Laboratory on the Columbus campus of The Ohio State University.
