Astrobiology is at its core an interdisciplinary endeavor. But frustratingly, there is still not enough cross communication between

Push back the tape of Earth's history, and both geologists and astrobiologists remain roundly perplexed as to the environmental conditions of our earliest Earth.

Malta might be the last place one might expect there to be a convergence of archeoastronomy and early cosmology.

It's a tough, winding haul to reach the Sardinia Radio Telescope (SRT). An hour or so inland from the hardscrabble Italian port city of Cagliari, its

After decades of hypothesizing about the origin of life here on Earth, at least one astrobiologist and colleagues are still puzzled by two major conundrums.

Over the last three decades, computer models of forming planetary systems have gone from being fairly crude replications to sophisticated simulations using thousands of different initial starting points.

A NASA-led team is hoping to take a short cut in directly imaging extrasolar earthlike planets.

The latest Swedish-led search for technosignatures in the form of Dyson Spheres has again come up empty-handed.
