Last year EANA, the European Astrobiology Network Association put up a series of 18 introductory astrobiology video lectures constituting the AstroBiology Course Lectures:
- Introduction to Astrobiology
- Formation of the Solar System
- Origins of Life: current theories
- Comets and the origin of life
- Basic prebiotic chemistry
- Structures and evolution of proteins
- Most simple (early) life forms
- On the bias of metabolism versus genetics first
- Extremophilic microorganisms
- Desiccation and radiation resistance of extremophiles
- Search for Life on Mars
- Biosignatures of microbial life (early Earth) and the search for life on Mars
- Small black rock-fungi and lichens on the way of Lithopanspermia
- Atmospheric Biomarkers
- Exoplanets: detection, atmospheres and habitability
- Architecture and evolution of planetary systems
- EXPOSE facilities
- Protecting the Bodies
These are somewhat out of order, and they are technical, intended for a university audience. Emphasis is not on slick production values, and there is a lot of material.
