I remember about ten years ago when I first hear the term “Astrobiology” I immediately fell in love with it, it was the answer to a field I wanted to explore and yet no-one knew that it even existed. Now more people are becoming familiar with the name but it is a pity that they don’t understand what it truly means. It isn’t only about life in different planets, not green UFOs that will abduct you randomly at night, but it is the answer to how everything works together-and I am content with that. I am a big fan of the field but I get frustrated that there isn’t enough media coverage to draw attention. This article is a start but there should be way more published information out there. After all, every scientist- in any of the disciplines- has something to offer or learn from this amazing field.
