Q&A: Shadow Biospheres & Telescope Economics

It's been a while since our last Q&A so here is a catch up on some your great questions posted on the channel! First, we get into how the trade-off astronomers make between telescope size, time and number. Then, we turn to how to find life which started independently to us and whether we'd even recognize it. We are trying out a new intro and styling, let us know what you think! Thanks for watching!
