This is the first page of a tutorial on exobiology and the origins of life. The tutorial covers the nature of prebiotic Earth, the Miller-Urey experiment, possible sites for the origin of life, the search for extraterrestrial life, politics in exobiology research, and possible careers in exobiology. There is a 15-question self test and a significant bibliography at the end of the tutorial. This resource is appropriate for high school or college students.
