Fundamental Facts To Remember About the Search for Planets and Life • The necessary ingredients of life are widespread – Observation reveals uniformity of physical and chemical laws – Origin of the elements and their dispersal is well understood – Carbon bond is unique and ubiquitous! Forget Silicon life. • Life on Earth can inhabit harsh environments – Micro- and environmental biology reveal life in extremes of temperature, chemistry, humidity • Life affects a planetary environment in a detectable way – Our own atmosphere reflects the presence of primitive through advanced life • Planets are a common outcome of star formation – Modern theory of star formation makes planet formation likely
