Meanwhile, UK scientists are hoping to join NASA in working on the Habitable Worlds Observatory - a new telescope designed to search for signs of life on distant planets.

We hear from Dr Vincent Van Eylen, Associate Professor in Exoplanets at UCL’s Mullard Space Science Laboratory about the project and what it means for the UK’s role in future space exploration.
