New Camera to Search for Life on Distant Planets

Scientists at Durham University unveil a revolutionary camera for NASAs Habitable Worlds Observatory, set to launch in the early 2040s. This camera, capable of finding life on distant planets and studying black holes, will employ a coronagraph to block out starlight and reveal rocky planets like Earth. The UK hardware team, led by University College London, is developing this crucial component, marking a significant step in our understanding of the universe. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
