"25 Years of Exoplanet Hunting: Rethinking the Search for Earth 2.0"
Over the past 25 years, exoplanet research has evolved from knowing fewer than 30 exoplanets to over 5,000 today. Despite the significant increase in discoveries, finding an Earth-like planet remains elusive. The field has seen major milestones, such as the launch of the Kepler Space Telescope and the discovery of the Trappist-1 system. Future missions like the Nancy Grace Roman Space Observatory and the Ariel Space Mission aim to further our understanding of exoplanets and their potential to harbor life.
