We inspire, educate, collaborate and coordinate access to astrobiology in New Zealand to improve opportunities for the greater good.

Astrobiology in Aotearoa

Astrobiology explores life in the Universe — where it might exist, how it began, and whether we’re alone.

In Aotearoa New Zealand, our unique landscapes and cultural perspectives make us a natural home for this science. From geothermal fields to clear skies, Māori knowledge to NASA collaborations, we bring astrobiology to life through research, education, and outreach.

Our Journey So Far

Aotearoa’s astrobiology story began with a simple idea — to connect the stars, science, and students.

Ten years later, we’re leading school programmes, international collaborations, and Mars exhibitions.

10 years of astrobiology

It’s been 10 incredible years since astrobiology took root in Aotearoa. From NASA collaborations to nationwide school programmes, from the first Mars exhibition in NZ to students reaching for the stars — we’ve come a long way. Explore our highlights below.
