What is Astrobiology?
Astrobiology is the fascinating science that explores the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. It encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and on planets around other stars, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in space.
The Search for Extraterrestrial Life
For decades, scientists have looked to the stars for signs of life, using instruments like the Kepler Space Telescope, the Mars rovers, and the upcoming James Webb Space Telescope. These incredible tools help us gather data and refine our understanding of what makes a planet habitable. Join us on a journey through time and space as we unravel the mysteries of the cosmos in search of our cosmic neighbors.
