Description	Encountering Life in the Universe: Ethical Foundations and Social Implications of Astrobiology is a non-fiction book edited by astronomers Chris Impey and Bill Stoeger, S.J., and scientist and science communicator Anna Spitz that explores the consequences of humanity encountering biology beyond the Earth from a variety of scholarly perspectives. Earth is the only planet known to host life, but the surge in discovery of exoplanets, including many that are in principle habitable, motivates consideration of the implications of discovering life elsewhere. The chapters derive from a conference held at the Biosphere 2 Institute of the University of Arizona in 2008. The book was published as a hardcover by the University of Arizona Press in 2013.
