Cosmobiology is the first treatise on cosmobiology in China. The book is divided into eight chapters. Chapter 1 studies the common characteristics of all life, as well as the formation of life forming elements and biological molecules in the universe, based on the life forms on the earth. Chapter 2 studies the history of life on Earth from fossil records and molecular biological records, Chapter 3 studies radiation and life, and the biological effects of cosmic radiation, Chapter 4 studies the exploration of life in the inner solar system, especially Mars, Chapter 5 studies the exploration of life in the outer solar system and beyond, especially Titan and Europa Chapter 6 discusses the possible natural transmission of life within and outside the solar system, Chapter 7 discusses the planetary protection law formulated to avoid pollution and return pollution in space exploration, Chapter 8 studies the important impact of manned spaceflight on astrobiology research, as well as the impact of long-term space flight on astronauts' health and countermeasures. Cosmobiology can be used as a textbook of cosmobiology, as well as a good reference book for researchers and teachers and students of colleges and universities who are interested in space exploration.
In his early years, he was called universe Biology, renamed in recent years space Space Biology or Space life sciences (Space Life Science)。 It is a new discipline to study the origin, evolution and distribution of life within the framework of cosmic evolution.
All the macro and micro order of nature is established under the action of gravity. The internal structure and external position relationship of all materials on the earth are all affected by gravity. The origin, development, evolution and demise of all life are carried out in the earth's gravity field. Gravity has an important impact on life activities, biological development, growth and body functions. After hundreds of millions of years of evolution, it has adapted to the ground environment. Gravity plays a dominant role in life on the earth, and it has penetrated into our thinking, It is difficult to get rid of gravity. Once gravity disappears, the normal growth and development process, physiological and psychological state of organisms, including animals, plants, microorganisms and human beings, will change, how they will survive and multiply, and how to use the microgravity environment to benefit human beings will become the main research content of microgravity biology. In addition to microgravity environment, there are radiation effects in space. Therefore, astrobiology is also called space biology.
