ASTR 211: Astrochemistry and Astrobiology explores the fascinating intersection of chemistry and biology in the context of the universe. This course delves into the chemical processes and reactions that occur in astronomical environments, such as interstellar clouds, planetary atmospheres, and the surfaces of celestial bodies. Students will gain insights into the origins of life, the possibility of extraterrestrial life, and the search for habitable environments beyond Earth. Through a combination of theoretical discussions, laboratory simulations, and thought-provoking exercises, students will develop a deeper understanding of astrochemical and astrobiological principles.
