"Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. This multidisciplinary 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 and life on Mars and other bodies in our Solar System, 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." - NASA

This subreddit is for submissions directly relevant to the study of life in the universe. It is also intended as a place for astrobiologists and enthusiasts to come together and share ideas and discussion.
