April 29, 2024 3 minute read

Exobiologists study the origins, evolution, and distribution of life beyond Earth. They investigate the potential for life on other planets and moons, and search for evidence of past or present life in the universe. Exobiologists also study the effects of the environment on life, and how life adapts to different conditions. They use a variety of methods, including telescopes, microscopes, and computer models, to study life beyond Earth.

Education and Training

Most exobiologists have a PhD in astrobiology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, or a related field. Some exobiologists also have a master's degree in exobiology or a related field.
