Astrobiology
The field of science that investigates ideas about the possible extraterrestrial origin of life is astrobiology. This interdisciplinary field combines aspects of biology, chemistry, geology, and astronomy to explore the potential for life beyond Earth, including the conditions necessary for life to arise and the search for extraterrestrial organisms. Astrobiologists study extreme environments on Earth and analyze data from space missions to understand where and how life might exist elsewhere in the universe.
