In the first part of this talk I will provide a brief introduction to astrobiology, the science that studies the origin, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe. I will then summarize the main results of searches for life in the Solar System. Finally, I will introduce the observational studies of extrasolar planets and discuss their importance to search for habitable environments and signatures of life outside the Earth.
