Abstract: One of the biggest questions that humans have ever asked is “Are we alone in the Universe?”. In this lecture I hope to show you how we can use the study of meteorites, planets in our solar system, and stars in the nearby universe to try and find the answer. We will look at what life is and how we might recognize whether it thrives elsewhere.
