The Cosmic Diary\u00a0is a \u00a0legacy of the International Year of Astronomy 2009<\/a><\/strong>, one of Cornerstone project\u00a0which aimed\u00a0to put a human face on astronomy. More than 25 astronomers from ESA, ESO, JAXA, NASA and other institutions, located all around the world, blogged in their native languages, mostly in English, French & Spanish. I am lucky to have been part of this project since the first day in January 2009.<\/p>\n

In January 2011, the IYA executive committee transfered \u00a0the web site responsibilities to the SETI Institute<\/a> which provided access to their server. As a Principal Investigator at the SETI Institute, I took over the management of the site.<\/p>\n

In April 2012, the New Cosmic Diary morphed into a fully hosted web site of the SETI Institute. We redesigned it using a multi-sites & multi-users WordPress server. An archive of the previous web site can be found on http:\/\/archive.cosmicdiary.org\/<\/a>.\u00a0The new web site has been modernized and we will continue to improve it in the future.<\/p>\n

The Carl Sagan Center research center<\/a>, part of the SETI Institute, aims to understand the origins of life or the extent to which life may be present beyond Earth. Astrobiology is a way to understand the various factors in the\u00a0Drake equation<\/a>, and thus to help guide the search for extraterrestrial life. We therefore decided to expand the Cosmic Diary to all disciplines part of astrobiology.<\/p>\n
