WHEN, WHERE and HOW did life start?

Astrobiology is a scientific discipline focused on exploring and understanding life throughout the universe. This includes investigating the origins, evolution, and distribution of life, as well as its future prospects. The field encompasses a broad spectrum of sciences such as biology, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and physics. Researchers in astrobiology seek to comprehend how life emerged on Earth, its evolutionary journey, and the potential for life on other celestial bodies like planets and moons. Additionally, they study the possible effects that life beyond Earth might have on the universe. As an emerging and vibrant area of study, astrobiology stands at the cutting edge of scientific inquiry and exploration. It holds the promise of revolutionizing our comprehension of the cosmos and our role within it.
