Astrobiology is such a fascinating subject because some people may not even believe there is a need for this subject in the first place. This is because astrobiology is the study of life found throughout the universe. When the argument is presented that there is no life found outside of the Earth, my first thought is that this is true. But the size of the cosmos shows that somewhere out among the stars it is completely possible that life exists. There is no proof that it 100 percent does not exist other than the fact that we have not found any life outside of the Earth yet. Astrobiology is interesting because in order to be an astrobiologist one needs a good understanding of life, planetary systems, stellar interactions, and the nature of the environments that can support life. It is also very interesting because it combines many subject areas such as biology, chemistry, astronomy, geology, and many more. Despite being a relatively new area of study, the vastness of the cosmos always holds many surprises which is exactly why I believe astrobiology has a promising future.
