| 520 | |a "Written in an informal manner, this account tells the incredible story of the birth of an entirely new field of science called Astrobiology - a field that is now investigating whether life might exist on other worlds. From the discovery that other stars in our galaxy are circled by planets to the detection of single-cell organisms found living on Earth in extremely hostile environments, this account details the recent breakthroughs made by astronomers and earth scientists over the last few decades.
