The RCN through @NASAAstrobio focused on developing the science and technology needed to search for life on other worlds. Not an official NASA account.

Fantastic work depicting a New Frontiers concept mission to Triton. Great work, James! We love effective visualizations for science communication and gorgeous space artwork 🚀🌠

[James Tuttle Keane @jtuttlekeane]

Amanda Steckel @steckel_avs & Tyler Horvath @Planetary_Tyler—Nautilus is a New Frontiers concept to explore Neptune’s moon, Triton! It would address a lot of outstanding questions, including the origin of Triton’s plumes, and whether Triton has an ocean and/or core #AGU23

There's evidence for HCN on Enceladus! #Cassini is the gift that keeps on giving. Read more below:

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

Exciting news for the potential habitability of Enceladus! A study zooms in on Cassini mission data gathered at Saturn’s icy moon and finds confirming evidence of hydrogen cyanide, a molecule needed to spark life as we know it and a supercharged chemical energy source to fuel it.

Have you seen our most recent #NfoLD nugget on endogenous ice on Europa? Check it out here: https://t.co/gujXfoRCJ3

Thanks to @DevyaniJambhul4 @catmaggiori Kaitlin Harrison and Brook Nunn for putting this nugget together!

At #AGU23 this week? Check out the #NASA booth!

[Network for Life Detection (NfoLD) @LifeDetection]

We think so! ✋

[Dr. Graham Lau @cosmobiologist]

Oh, fantastic!

Also, check out @PlanetCynthia on an episode of #AskAstrobio from 2021 talking about her life and work: https://t.co/tHC7as2bV4

Should we have another episode soon focused on @EuropaClipper and astrobiology?

NfoLD member Erin Gibbons @ErinSpaceCase is at McMurdo Station with ANSMET to search for meteorites - check out the journey!

[Erin Gibbons, PhD 🚀 @ErinSpaceCase]

The midnight sun shining gloriously over McMurdo station!!

The ANSMET team has had a pretty spectacular welcome to Antarctica and I'm very quickly falling in love with these mountain views ���� (I am already smitten with my Big Red coat!)

It will take years for @EuropaClipper to reach one of Jupiter’s icy moons, Europa. But, it only takes a moment to submit your name to be engraved on a chip aboard the spacecraft before its 1.8-billion-mile journey. Don’t miss out! https://t.co/KnyYulzAee

Asteroids are the building blocks of our solar system, and this asteroid contains the building blocks of life. Our initial analysis of the 4.5-billion-year-old rocks from asteroid Bennu delivered to Earth by #OSIRISREx shows evidence of carbon and water.

Keep updated about these cool results!

[ARCHIVED – NASA Astrobiology @NASAAstrobio]

On Oct. 11 at 11am ET, @NASA unveils the #OSIRISREx asteroid sample to the world at @NASA_Johnson!

Don't miss the action. Set a reminder to learn the results from an initial analysis of the 4.5 billion-year-old material: https://t.co/I0HEXmGxW9

A fantastic article just dropped on the amazing work NfoLD and @nexssinfo did on creating a Standards of Evidence for Life Detection, and why it is important. It's such an important topic, and I highly recommend checking it out.

NASA-supported astrobiologists create a “cookbook” of chemical recipes that could aid in our search for life. 📖

Using this ingredient list, we can test different planetary conditions to understand where and how processes known to sustain life can arise: https://t.co/3sSwjl40i5
