-Astrobiology- study of how life on Earth began, life beyond earth, and how to find it -Consists of: Geology, Astronomy, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Scientific Engineering, Molecular biology, Biogeochemistry, Oceanography, Mathematics, and Microbiology - Study extremophiles Study planets with possible life (Titan Saturn System Mission) Example . Titan- Saturn’s Moon has cryovolcanoes
