In this course we will discuss questions such as: What do the planets and their moons look like in our solar system? Do any of them harbor primitive life? Is Earth the only inhabited planet in the Universe? What is the origin of life on Earth, and how did it develop? Can

something similar have occurred on another planet orbiting one of the billions of stars in the Milky Way? Are there other civilizations out there, also wondering if they are alone? If so, can we contact them?

Note that this course is given in Swedish.

Further course information will appear soon on this page. Until then, information can be found on the department website.
