"We live in a golden age in astrobiology, the beginning of a fantastic odyssey... our first steps promise prodigious discoveries... finding life beyond Earth is not a matter of if but a matter of when."
"As recently as May, scientists discovered a new potentially habitable planet, Gliese 12 b... signs of habitability are seemingly everywhere. But what about actual life?"
"The elementary compounds making life as we know it - carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur - are surprisingly common. This is life - or the building blocks of life - ever-present, but invisible to the human eye."
"The James Webb Space Telescope returned its first images... this immersion into our planet's origins actually propels us into the future, where a revolution looms in the search for life in the universe."
