Tag: Astrobiology

Astrobiology is a scientific field that studies the potential for life beyond Earth, including the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. It combines aspects of biology, chemistry, geology, and astronomy to understand how life might arise under varying environmental conditions, how it might survive in extreme environments, and what forms it could take on other planets or celestial bodies. Astrobiology also involves the search for extraterrestrial life, including the study of planets and moons within our solar system and beyond, assessing their habitability and the presence of biosignatures. The discipline seeks to answer fundamental questions about life, its processes, and its role in the universe.
