Scientific paper

Over the last three years an outreach programme in astrobiology has been stimulating public interest in South Wales, UK. To date, 550 people have attended an accredited undergraduate course in astrobiology, Alien Worlds. Funded by a European Social Fund grant, this modular course has introduced students to the multidisciplinary nature of astrobiology, coupling academic content to a practical ability to recognise the constellations and objects of the night sky. This paper outlines the course's background, content, delivery and outcomes as an example of the outreach potential of the science and culture of astrobiology.
