NASA Astrobiology Institute

The NASA Astrobiology Institute is a research organization dedicated to studying life's potential existence beyond Earth. It investigates how life started, how it might survive on other planets, and what signs to look for during space exploration. By bringing together scientists from various fields like biology, geology, and astronomy, the institute aims to understand the origins, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe. Its goal is to identify environments where life could exist and support future missions searching for extraterrestrial life, advancing our knowledge of the cosmos and our place within it.
