Greetings fom Earth,
Astrobiologist
What is Astrobiology?
Astrobiology is the science that arose to answer questions about the origin, presence, and influence of life in the universe. It has to do with you, with us, and with why and how we got here.
There is a long way to go, and even if there are numerous unknowns, we are on the way to answering some of the most crucial questions of the century:
What is life? How life originates? Is there life out there?
This is what we do

About us
The Astrobiology Society was born at The University of Manchester to spread the word about Astrobiology, enrich the university community, and wonder about our past, our future, and life itself. We were for a while the leading student-run society within the field!
We have now evolved into a professional think-tank, a network of people alike, supporting students and young professionals by running events, providing resources, and growing their network. If you are interested in working with us, check out our volunteering opportunities!
