The Living Universe

The project for interactive CD-ROM - The Living Universe - was presented by the group Celestial Generation-Nadezhda Radeva, Rosen Ralev, Iliyan Darganov and Yana Radeva from Varna. The group presents a lot of original information in the following areas: The Living Water, The Miracle of Life, Habitable Worlds, SETI, the Amazing Universe and Gallery (astrophotographs, photo- collages and pictures of the group) in more than 130 pages with more than 400 pictures. The main idea of the project is that water is the cradle of life and there are conditions for life to exist in the Solar system and the Universe. Two of the themes: "The Water of Life" and "The Miracle of Life" are in the field of Biology. The main functions and the important biological functions of water, life in the world ocean and the existing of water in the Universe are analysed here. The theme "Habitable Worlds" examine the possibility of life existing on the planets in the Solar system. In the theme SETI there are presented the history of the search
for extraterrestrial life and the most interesting projects for looking for signals. The Amazing Universe is like a small astroguiness and a world of interesting information about life on the Earth. In the last theme Gallery beautiful pictures of alien planets and creatures are combined with astrophotographs and incredible photo-collages- a world of the imagination of the members of the group.
The project "The Living Universe" is interesting and attractive and working on it was a pleasure for the group Celestial Generation
