The lecture is a basic course of a new arising scientific branch - astrobiology. It connects new findings from astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology in endeavor to discover answers to the following questions - how originate the life and how to find it in the universe. The lecture is useful for students of biophysics, astronomy and other interested persons.
