英国天体生物学中心(UKCA)成立于2011年,是一个虚拟中心,旨在为天体生物学研究、教育和推广做出贡献。5年后,我们描述了该中心及其在每个领域的工作。它的研究重点是研究极端环境中的生命,地球上生命的极限,以及对其他地方宜居性的影响。在其研究基础设施项目中,英国皇家壳牌公司组建了一个地下天体生物学实验室,该实验室主持了一个深地下行星模拟计划,并开发了新的流动系统来研究外星水环境。UKCA利用这一研究背景开发了天体生物学教育项目,包括吸引了超过12万名学生的大型天体生物学在线公开课,教师培训项目,以及将天体生物学带入监狱的倡议。在本文中,我们回顾了这些活动和其他活动,特别侧重于向其他可能考虑建立天体生物学中心、研究所或科学设施的人提供经验教训。我们讨论了将天体生物学研究整合到教学和教育活动中的经验。关键词:Astrobiology—Centre—Education—Subsurface—Analog研究。天体生物学18,224-243。
The UK Centre for Astrobiology (UKCA) was set up in 2011 as a virtual center to contribute to astrobiology research, education, and outreach. After 5 years, we describe this center and its work in each of these areas. Its research has focused on studying life in extreme environments, the limits of life on Earth, and implications for habitability elsewhere. Among its research infrastructure projects, UKCA has assembled an underground astrobiology laboratory that has hosted a deep subsurface planetary analog program, and it has developed new flow-through systems to study extraterrestrial aqueous environments. UKCA has used this research backdrop to develop education programs in astrobiology, including a massive open online course in astrobiology that has attracted over 120,000 students, a teacher training program, and an initiative to take astrobiology into prisons. In this paper, we review these activities and others with a particular focus on providing lessons to others who may consider setting up an astrobiology center, institute, or science facility. We discuss experience in integrating astrobiology research into teaching and education activities. Key Words: Astrobiology—Centre—Education—Subsurface—Analog research. Astrobiology 18, 224–243.
