This document outlines the definition of life, and why defining what is living and what isn't can sometimes be difficult. It also covers what the RNA world theory is and describes the earliest cells which would've been discovered on Earth

This document covers questions relating to the formation of the moon such as how the giant impact model works, why we think the moon was formed from the Earth and why we can rule out theories such as the common origin hypothesis

These notes detail deep sea hydrothermal vents as a possible location for the origin of life, while also briefly touching on impact craters as a plausible location. It also explains the iron-sulphur world hypothesis and evidence to support this theory.

The document contains my handwritten notes accompanied by diagrams covering the topics listed in the description, compiled from the astrobiology course textbook, lecture notes and my own personal knowledge/research.
