Are We Alone?
As technology advances, the search for alien life is becoming increasingly promising. Scientists are now using powerful tools like the James Webb Space Telescope to study distant exo-planets, analyzing their atmospheres for biosignatures, chemical markers like oxygen or methane that could indicate life.
At the same time, initiatives like Breakthrough Listen scan the cosmos for radio signals from intelligent civilizations. With discoveries of water on Mars and potentially habitable moons like Europa and Enceladus, the possibility of finding extraterrestrial life, even microbial, feels closer than ever. Could the next big cosmic discovery redefine humanity’s place in the universe?
