Guide to Space - What Comes After James Webb & Nancy Grace Roman?
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Jun 12, 2018. The Hubble Space Telescope has been in space for 28 years, producing some of the most beautiful and scientifically important images of the cosmos that humanity has ever taken. But let’s face it, Hubble is getting old, and it probably won’t be with us for too much longer. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope is in the final stages of testing, and WFIRST (Nancy Grace Roman) is waiting in the wings. You’ll be glad to know there are even more space telescopes in the works, a set of four powerful instruments in design right now, which will be part of the next Decadal...

Exoplanet Radio Ep. 39 - Biosignatures: The Search for Life Beyond Earth
The 365 Days of Astronomy
From Oct 4, 2023. Hosted by Tony Darnell. In recent years, scientists have made great strides in the search for extraterrestrial life. They have discovered thousands of exoplanets. And some of them are located in the habitable zone of their star, which means that liquid water could exist on their surface and is essential for life as we know it. The search for life however, is a little more involved than finding planets, measuring their location and distance around the star and figuring out their location within a habitable zone.
