Science of the Springs: Astrobiology in Yellowstone National Park provides an overview of the connection between astrobiology research and Yellowstone National Park. The booklet can be used by educators of all kinds, YNP visitors as they tour sites within the Park, or armchair travelers who desire to learn more about why astrobiologists believe the extreme life found in Yellowstone’s geothermal features may unlock clues to the origin of life on this planet and the existence of life beyond Earth.

The booklet also features QR codes, through which readers with a Web-enabled smart phone can access additional multimedia content; the PDF version includes links to the videos and animations.
