The New Planet Hunters. Who Will Find Earth 2.0?
We now know of thousands of confirmed exoplanets, with many more candidates. And there are now dozens of planet hunting telescopes on Earth and in space, using a range of techniques to find tens of thousands more.
There’s a new class of instruments and missions in the works that’ll give us an incredible understanding about the planets orbiting other stars. One of these will be the one to find Earth 2.0.

Great video Fraser! Going to be awesome to see over the next couple of decades how much more detail we can get on the different types of exoplanets that we find with these upcoming missions. The amount of information that we will get on these exoplanets light years away will just be mind blowing! Great that we are now getting the technology to focus in on finding and studying terrestrial exoplanets to find that Earth 2.0.
