How does life originate? What kind of environment is necessary for life to survive? Is there or has there been life elsewhere in our solar system? For the last episode is my series combining cosmology and biology, we're going to talk about astrobiology. Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe. The search for life beyond the Earth requires an understanding of life, and the nature of the environments that support it. But what does this mean for those of us on Earth?

Stephen Hawking, who died on the 14th of March at the age of 76, had lived with ALS for the majority of his life. Anyone deeply vested or even passively interested in the fields of theoretical physics and cosmology would recognize and appreciate him for his esoteric explanations of some of life’s biggest mysteries. This episode is the first in a series of three episodes in honor of Hawking, where I try and find common ground between biology and astrophysics.
