To the point

Researchers at Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute report 45 Earth-like planets in habitable zones within tens of light-years (including Proxima Centauri b and TRAPPIST-1 d–g), with JWST, the Roman Space Telescope, and the ELT as future observational targets, note that interstellar travel remains centuries away though propulsion could shorten journeys, highlight possible life in subsurface oceans on Enceladus and Titan, and also mix in updates on Harry and Meghan, Lottie Moss, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, to show today’s fast-moving science-politics-entertainment news.
