 Astrobiology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most astronomy-related astrobiological research falls into the category of extrasolar planet (exoplanet) detection, the hypothesis being that if life arose on Earth then it could also arise on other planets with similar characteristics.
By examining planetary spectra it will be possible to determine the basic composition of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere and surface; given this knowledge, it may be possible to assess the likelihood of life being found on that planet.
It is hoped that once these missions come online, their spectra can be cross-checked with these 'virtual' planetary spectra for features that might indicate the presence of life.

 Agamben [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
This “happy life” should be rather, an absolutely profane “sufficient life.” that has reached the perfection of its own power and its own communicability — a life over which sovereignty and right no longer have any hold (ME 114-115).
For Benjamin, while happiness is not and cannot bring about the redemption of Messianic time on its own, it is nevertheless the profane path to its realization - happiness allows for the fulfilment of historical time, since the Messianic kingdom is “not the goal of history but the end (TPF 312).
Drawing on this figuration, Agamben appears to construe happiness as that which allows for the overturning of contemporary nihilism in the form of the metaphysico-political nexus of biopower.
