Drawing on the findings from astronomy\, geology \, biology\, meteorology\, oceanography\, chemistry\, and physics\, astrob iology explores the physical and chemical conditions necessary for the exi stence of life.\n\nWith the Drake Equation as a guide\, astrobiology seeks to better define the factors leading to the prevalence of life in the uni verse. As technology improves\, researchers are better able to constrain these factors\, including the prevalence of planets in our galaxy\, the en vironments where life can survive and thrive\, and how evolution might pro ceed on a planet far different from our own.\n\nIn this module\, participa nts will explore how to identify processes.
