A closer look at the planets will reveal more about their birth and evolution, stars, and galaxies.

Dr Mitchell has suggested that alien life may be detected in the next few decades by identifying patterns known as biosignatures.

New powerful telescopes allow the analysis of starlight as it passes through a planet’s atmosphere, revealing information about its chemical make-up…
