This book tries to give answers on this question. It gives insights into the nature of planets and their potential to harbor life as well as the role of life itself as an engine to increase the habitability of planets and satellites. Knowledge of different disciplines in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Planetology and Physics are the driving force for the discussion what might be the clues to classify a planetary body as a habitable object. The role of the atmosphere, solar radiation, magnetism, tectonics, mineral composition, liquid water availability and the interactions with life are in the focus of the general discussion. Earth serves as the reference system to get an approximation of the factors which might be important for classification of a celestial body as a habitable object. Results from field studies and those obtained from laboratory studies in planetary simulation facilities will help to elucidate if some of the planets and satellites in our solar system are potentially habitable for terrestrial life forms. The discussion is also enlarged in particular to exo-planets and their potential to be habitable. Further, recent technologies are presented in this book which might be suitable for remote or in situ identification of habitable environments and life as we know it. Instrumentation, detection devices, space projects and space mission designs to search for habitable niches and life is part of this work and gives insights into the challenges we might confront if we pursue the main task to detect life. The initial step of these exploration endeavors might be to discover first habitable environments and then to look after life forms with life detecting instrumentation in the discovered habitable niches. 410 0$aCellular Origin, Life in Extreme Habitats and Astrobiology,$x1566-0400 ;$v28 606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aEcology  606 $aAstrobiology 606 $aSpace sciences 606 $aObservations, Astronomical 606 $aAstronomy?Observations 606 $aGeology 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 606 $aEcology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007 606 $aAstrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22057 606 $aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics)$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22030 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014 606 $aGeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17002 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aAstrobiology. 615 0$aSpace sciences. 615 0$aObservations, Astronomical. 615 0$aAstronomy?Observations. 615 0$aGeology. 615 14$aMicrobial Ecology. 615 24$aEcology. 615 24$aAstrobiology. 615 24$aSpace Sciences (including Extraterrestrial Physics, Space Exploration and Astronautics). 615 24$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aGeology. 676 $a576.839 702 $ade Vera$b Jean-Pierre$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSeckbach$b J$g(Joseph)$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910739409003321 996 $aHabitability of Other Planets and Satellites$93552835 997 $aUNINA
