Astrobiology - how we can study potential life in the universe

Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe, but in doing so it encompasses so many scientific fields to make it work. Much like the field of physics has the sub-disciplines of astrophysics, quantum physics, and particle physics, just to name a few, astrobiology requires the fields of not only physics, but also astronomy, planetary science, geology, biology, chemistry, atmospheric science, and even aerospace engineering. It is using these many disciplines that allows astrobiology to work as a whole.
