NASA and university scientists discussed astrobiology research activities and technology that are advancing the search for evidence of habitability in our solar system and beyond, during a briefing on June 16 at the 2015 Astrobiology Science Conference in Chicago. Briefing topics included the quest for evidence of habitability and life on Mars, plans for exploring the habitability of Europa and Enceladus, and progress in identifying signs of habitability on exoplanets. Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.
