What I am most excited for is the experiments using this scope to analyse the atmospheres of exoplanets. The goal is to look for signs of like like high quantities of methane.
- josho 5y agoI think the article touched on that, but your second sentence gave the context of why looking at the atmosphere is interesting. Thank you. And yeh, that is exciting!
- doctoboggan 5y agoI've been waiting for JWST for years ever since I heard what it will be capable of. I believe detecting bio-signatures on a planet around another star will be one of the most profound perspective shifts humans will experience. (Even more than Copernicus putting the sun in its place.) And I do believe there is a high probability of detecting those bio-signatures.
