Like cosmic detectives, astrobiologists explore the cosmic highways, investigating collisions and serendipitous encounters that could have ferried life’s potential elements across the interstellar abyss. With eyes aglow with curiosity, they probe the depths of extreme environments as well as the Earth’s own alien landscapes, sketching the genesis of life, tracing the origins, evolution and potential distribution of living wonders beyond our Earthly cradle. Ultimately seeking insights into what extreme conditions might have nurtured life on distant planets or moons. (Miryam Palacios Pérez)
During NoRCEL’s LatAM HUB 2nd online Colloquium, held on 11/11/2023, five different insights and theories were put forward by eminent scientists from the Americas. The outcome being that some light was shed onto the various possible ways as to how there came to be life…from stars.
