Relating to astrobiology; concerning the study of life and its potential existence beyond Earth or in extraterrestrial environments.
Formed from astrobiology (astro- 'star' + biology) with the adjectival suffix -ical. This modern scientific terminology emerged in the mid-20th century with space exploration.
Astrobiological research shows that extremophile bacteria on Earth can survive in conditions matching Mars or Jupiter's moons—life might be far more common in the universe than we thought.
