Astrobiology Research Center

The Astrobiology Research Center (ARC) is a scientific institution focused on understanding the origins, evolution, and potential for life beyond Earth. Researchers at ARC study extreme environments on our planet, like deep-sea vents and volcanic areas, to uncover how life can thrive in harsh conditions. They also explore other celestial bodies, such as Mars and icy moons, to assess their habitability. By integrating knowledge from biology, geology, and astronomy, ARC aims to answer fundamental questions about whether life exists elsewhere in the universe and what it might look like.
