Astrobiology
Ever since early humans first looked skyward and imagined the stars as distant campfires, humanity has wondered if we are alone in the Universe. The ancient Greeks argued against our home planetbeing the only cradle for life, but lacked the technology to prove their beliefs.
早期的人類向天空望去,想像星星是遙遠的篝火,人類就想知道我們是否獨自存在宇宙中。古希臘人反對「我們的地球是生命的唯一搖籃」這一觀點,但缺乏證明其信仰的技術。
In the late 20th century, the near-simultaneous discoveries of the possible remainsof bacterial life in a Martian meteorite, and the first planets orbiting other stars, brought the question of the existence of life beyond the Earth to the forefront of scientific endeavor.
在20世紀後期,火星隕石中發現可能存在的細菌生命遺蹟,以及幾乎同時發現了第一群圍繞其他恆星運行的行星,這將生命是否存在於地球之外的問題帶到了科學努力的最前沿。
In the 21st century, the new field of Astrobiology harnesses the required technological and scientific capability to seriously address this ancient and fundamental question.
在21世紀,天體生物學的新領域利用所需的技術和科學能力來認真解決這個古老而根本的問題。
