No rush

Astronomers using data from the James Webb space telescope think they may have spotted chemicals characteristic of life in the atmoshere of a planet 124 light years away.
    But before you get excited about a planet that seems to be teeming with life, remember they’re going to spend another year or two confirming the observation.
    It’s rather surprising that anyone takes the ‘are we alone’ issue seriously any more, given the sheer size of the universe, and there are actually people eager for proof that life on Earth is not unique.
