What is Astrobiology?
"Astrobiology is the study of the origins, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe."
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary field comprising nearly every discipline within the natural sciences. Part of what makes astrobiology difficult is the diversity of questions that need answering, which in turn require expertise and perspectives from multiple disciplines. In order to be an effective astrobiologist, one must also be an effective chemist, biologist, geoscientist, astronomer, and physicist.
