Astrobiology: Here, There, Everywhere: L.C. Bates Museum

What is life? And where does it come from? These are questions that astrobiology helps us explore. Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. Astrobiologists study how life originated, developed, and evolved on Earth to better understand how it may exist elsewhere. This program draws comparisons between how life on Earth and possible life on other planets are examined.

This Program Model was developed and authored by L.C. Bates Museum, with minimal editorial input and review from NASA's Universe of Learning. NASA's Universe of Learning has contributed astrophysics content and subject matter expertise to support the creation of this material. 

Other organizations may adapt these materials to meet the needs of their specific audiences. While this Program Model was designed to serve the local audience of the authoring institution, it is shared here as an example for broader use. Users should adjust it as needed and use all or some of the content, as appropriate, for their own needs.
