Artist's impression of the Phoenix Lander landing on Mars.

Phoenix's atmospheric measurements of isotope ratios of carbon and oxygen gave evidence for liquid water on the surface now or in the recent geological past.[1]Also its 2008 observations of possible droplets on its legs suggested new ways that water could be stable temporarily on Mars.[2] These observations lead many scientists to reassess the present habitability of Mars

I've also set up a test blog:

Guidelines

So, the idea was to set up a wiki where if you contribute a good astrobiology article it is safe from being arbitrarily deleted by people who know nothing about the topic. If you've wanted to make encyclopedic articles about astrobiology but find Wikipedia frustrating as an editor, this may be useful. With that background in mind:

  • Will proceed more like scholarpedia where if someone contributes a good and substantial article, then they need to approve significant changes, rather than the way Wikipedia does it where anyone can dive in and remove most of the content or rewrite an article or even delete it without talking things over properly.
  • Similar also for collaborative articles. It's only me editing at present. But anyone can in join in working on it. Please respect existing content and previous and other authors. I'm admin and will be final authority if there are disputes - but hopefully won't be, hopefully friendly place :).

Otherwise similar to wikipedia - mainspace articles to be reasonably encyclopaedic, please keep to well sourced statements.

Blogs can be original research or opinions and points of views. Can put in your own user space and link to your blog from the main page.
