astrobiology
Astrobiology is the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life 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 addresses the question of whether life exists beyond Earth, and how humans can detect it if it does.
Astrobiology makes use of physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, molecular biology, ecology, planetary science, geography, and geology to investigate the possibility of life on other worlds and help recognize biospheres that might be different from the biosphere on Earth. Astrobiology concerns itself with interpretation of existing scientific data;
given more detailed and reliable data from other parts of the universe,
the roots of astrobiology itself—physics, chemistry and biology—may
have their theoretical bases challenged. Although speculation is
entertained to give context, astrobiology concerns itself primarily with
hypotheses that fit firmly into existing scientific theories.Earth is the only place in the universe known to harbor life.
However, recent advances in planetary science have changed fundamental
assumptions about the possibility of life in the universe, raising the
estimates of habitable zones around other stars and the search for extraterrestrial microbial life. The possibility of life on Mars, either currently or in the past, is an active area of research.
