Astrobiology
Astrobiology is an interdisciplinary scientific field concerned with the origins , early evolution , distribution, and future of life in the universe . Astrobiology considers the question of whether extraterrestrial life exists, and how humans can detect it if it does. [2] The term exobiology is similar. [3]

Astrobiology is the study of the origin , evolution , distribution, and future of life in the universe : extraterrestrial life and life on Earth . Astrobiology addresses the question of whether life exists beyond Earth, and how humans can detect it if it does. [2] The term exobiology is similar but more specific—it covers the search for life beyond Earth, and the effects of extraterrestrial environments on living things. [3] |

Astrobiology (or exobiology ) is the study of the origin, evolution , distribution, and future of life in the universe . Earth is the only place in the universe known to harbour life. However, advancements in the fields of astrobiology, observational astronomy and discovery of large varieties of extremophiles with extraordinary capability to thrive in the harshest environments on Earth, have led to speculation that life may possibly be thriving on many of the extraterrestrial bodies in the universe. This interdisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, 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 outer space .

Astrobiology (from Greek: ἀστρο, astro , "constellation"; βίος, bios , "life"; and λόγος, logos , "knowledge") is the interdisciplinary study of life in space, combining aspects of astronomy , biology and geology . [2] It is focused primarily on the study of the origin , distribution and evolution of life. It is also known as exobiology (from Greek: έξω, exo , "outside"). [3] [4] [5] The term "Xenobiology" has been used as well, but this is technically incorrect because its terminology means "biology of the foreigners". [6] |

Astrobiology is the study of life in space, combining aspects of astronomy , biology and geology . It is focused primarily on the study of the origin , distribution and evolution of life. It comes from the Greek words αστρον or astron = star, βιος or bios = life and λογος or logos = word/science), and is also known as exobiology ( Greek : εξω or exo = out) or xenobiology ( Greek : ξενος or xenos = foreign). |

Astrobiology (also known as exobiology or xenobiology ) is the term for a speculative field within biology which considers the possible variety of extraterrestrial life . It also includes the concept of artificial life , since any life form that might naturally evolve elsewhere could conceivably be created in a laboratory using a future technology. It might be difficult to tell whether a truly strange life form had in fact arisen in space, or was designed much nearer to home. |
