NASA Creates Telescope That Could Find Aliens by 2050
NASA is embarking on an unprecedented mission with the launch of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), a groundbreaking telescope aimed at discovering inhabited planets by 2050. Dubbed "Super Hubble" for its advanced capabilities, the HWO represents a significant leap forward in our quest to understand the potential for life beyond Earth. At the forefront of this ambitious endeavor is Dr. Jessie Christiansen, NASA's chief scientist, whose dedication to exploring extraterrestrial life has galvanized the scientific community. Dr. Christiansen is optimistic about HWO's potential, asserting that it could detect "a signal in the atmosphere of a planet in the habitable zone of a star like our sun within our lifetime." The foundation for HWO's mission lies in the identification of 25 Earth-like planets orbiting sun-like stars. These planets have emerged as prime candidates for further exploration due to their potentially conducive conditions for life. Thi...
