Because of the fantastic success of #JWST, now astronomers want even more powerful gear up in space.

They are planning the Habitable Worlds Observatory that would be even bigger and make detecting life on other #Earth-like #planets reality.

The telescope will also be perched at L2. Unlike JWST, it will be designed for robotic servicing and upgrades, which could enable it to operate for decades.

This sounds really exciting, we have the Nancy Grace Roman telescope going up soon.

Now is the time to start studying STEM, and include maths and computing in that, so you can really be a part of the next wave of science that will be taking place.

Thank you for sharing.
