    Description
    This course examines the astronomical influences of life on Earth and the possibility of life on other bodies in the Solar System. The possibility of life on planets that orbit other stars will also be discussed. Students study the chemical basis for life, the origin, evolution, and constraints of life on Earth, and the markers of life that may be seen on other planets and moons.
