Center for Computational Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary team of scientists working on research projects in computational biology, chemistry, geology and astronomy. Exobiology is an introduction to NASA's research initiatives regarding the origin and distribution of life in the Cosmos. It contains educational resources and opportunities, as well as links to other exobiological research groups. NASA Spacelink contains links to most if not all NASA sites available on the Web. The Geology pages have many links relating to Astrobiology. NASA Office of Earth Science is "dedicated to understanding the total Earth system and the effects of humans on the global environment." The enterprise program addresses how Earth's land, water, air and life interact to produce the environment in which we live. NASA Office of Space Science is responsible for all of NASA's programs relating to astronomy, the solar system, and the sun and its interaction with Earth – covering everything from the middle levels of Earth's atmosphere to the edge of the universe. Origins This NASA/JPL program seeks to answer two very basic questions- "Where do we come from?" and "Are we alone?". The program over the next two decades will develop sophisticated telescopes and technologies to study the origin and development of galaxies, stars and planets, the chemical conditions necessary to support life, and search for life-sustaining planets. Project Galileo is an extensive collection of just-released images and data from Jupiter, background info, information about the mission, more.
