Astrobiology is the scientific study of potential life beyond Earth, including investigating what forms it might take and where it could exist in the universe. It matters because understanding life's possibilities beyond our planet—such as whether non-DNA-based organisms could exist—helps us search for life elsewhere and deepens our knowledge of life itself.

Astrobiology (also xenology or exobiology) is a scientific field within the life and environmental sciences that studies the origins, early evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe by investigating its deterministic conditions and contingent events. As a discipline, astrobiology is founded on the premise that life may exist beyond Earth.
