Extensive investigations in outer space have revealed not only how life adapts to the space environment, but also that interesting biophysical phenomena occur. These phenomena affect human health and other life forms (animals, plants, bacteria, and fungi), and to ensure the safety of future human space exploration need to be further investigated. This calls for joint research efforts between biologists and physicists, as these phenomena present cross-disciplinary barriers. Various national organizations provide useful forums for bridging this gap. Additional discussion avenues and database resources are helpful for facilitating the interdisciplinary investigations of these phenomena. In this paper, we present the newly established Space Life Investigation Database (SpaceLID, https://bidd.group/spacelid/ ) which provides information about biophysical phenomena occurring in space. Examples obtained using the database are given while discussing the underlying causes of these phenomena and their implications for the physiology and health of life in space.
外太空的广泛研究不仅揭示了生命如何适应太空环境，还揭示了有趣的生物物理现象。这些现象会影响人类健康和其他生命形式（动物、植物、细菌和真菌），为了确保未来人类太空探索的安全，需要进一步研究这些现象。这就需要生物学家和物理学家共同努力，因为这些现象存在跨学科的障碍。各种国家组织为弥合这一差距提供了有用的论坛。额外的讨论途径和数据库资源有助于促进对这些现象的跨学科研究。在本文中，我们介绍了新建立的太空生命研究所数据库（SpaceLID，https://bidd.group/spacelid/ ），该数据库提供了有关太空中发生的生物物理现象的信息。在讨论这些现象的根本原因及其对太空生命生理学和健康的影响时，给出了使用该数据库获得的示例。
