A science news item defines astrobiology as the comprehensive study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe. The piece frames the field as an intersection of biology, astronomy, geology, planetary science, chemistry, and space science, underlining how researchers combine disciplines in the search for life beyond Earth and in understanding life's cosmic context.
Why now: Renewed public and scientific interest in the search for life beyond Earth keeps definitions and explainers of astrobiology circulating.
