The questions "Is there life on other planets " isone of the most fundamental questions we can ask. Though we have not found any extraterrestrial life, we are rapidly changing our understanding of how life originated and evolved on the Earth, what kinds of environments are suitable for life, and what kinds of environments conducive to life exist on other planets. This course will be a multidisciplinary exploration of the topic from the standpoint of astronomy, biology, geology, physics, and chemistry, so students are expected to have previously completed at least one introductory science course. In addition to the textbook, the course will include discussion of current research articles in astrobiology. (Geoffrey Collins)
