Exploring the Cosmic Tapestry: Space Telescopes' Contributions to Astrobiology

Author(s): Luisa Peter

Astrobiology, the interdisciplinary field that seeks to understand the origins, evolution, and distribution of life in the universe, stands at the intersection of astronomy, biology, chemistry, and planetary science. Central to the pursuit of astrobiology are space telescopes, which offer unique vantage points for studying the cosmos and searching for signs of life beyond Earth. In this article, we explore the pivotal contributions of space telescopes to astrobiology, from unraveling the mysteries of distant galaxies to discovering potentially habitable exoplanets.
