Astrobiology

Catalog description

Astrobiology seeks to explore the origin, evolution, and distribution of life on the Earth and in other solar systems. This course presents an introduction to astrobiology beginning with the formation of stars and planets, and the origin and evolution of life on Earth. The course will then discuss the possible existence of life in the universe, the possibility of communication with Extra-Terrestrials (E.T.) and, ultimately, travel between the stars.
