Planet Hunting with the James Webb Space Telescope

95% 21MIN

Astronomers have detected more than 5000 planets orbiting other stars. New space telescopes exploiting aggressive new technologies and backed by Artificial Intelligence, could vastly expand this bounty. Are any of these alien worlds alive? Are living creatures common in the cosmos? These are among the most challenging questions science has ever faced. To probe for evidence of life on far-off planets, astronomers need to search with sensitive infrared detectors. Enter the Webb Telescope, with its ability to discern details only 50 million years after the beginning of time, along with the details of alien atmospheres in the neighborhood of our Sun.
