NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory Will Search For Life

  • Released Monday, July 7, 2025

Finding signs of life on planets outside our solar system will require a more powerful space telescope than any ever built. NASA's Habitable Worlds Observatory will draw on technologies proven by the agency's Hubble, Webb and upcoming Roman Space Telescopes to peer into the cosmos and find the unique signatures of planets that can support life as well as possibly life itself.

Actor John Rhys-Davies narrates this short video about the mission and its objectives.
