The podcast is 9 minutes 13 seconds in duration. The source Web Seminar featured staff from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Arizona State University discussing the topic of Mars Exploration. This web seminar focused on the topic of Astrobiology. As scientists continue to explore the planets of our solar system, one question remains: is there life beyond our planet? Astrobiology is devoted to the scientific study of life in the universe - its origin, evolution, distribution, and future. This multidisciplinary field brings together the physical and biological sciences to address some of the most fundamental questions of the natural world: How do living systems emerge? How do habitable worlds form and how do they evolve? Does life exist on worlds other than Earth? How could terrestrial life potentially survive and adapt beyond our home planet? Join us with Dr. Jim Rice as he talks about Astrobiology, extreme environments, some of the extreme places we have found life thriving, and the applications of these to Mars exploration. The seminar is designed for educators of grades 5-12. An archive of this web seminar and related PowerPoint presentation may be available at the end of the program.
