Good article, thanks. A quote:
"“We really need the next big optical telescopes like TMT to get sufficiently detailed spectroscopy to identify possible bio-signatures” in the spectrum of light detected from exoplanets, he said, referring to the long-delayed Thirty Meter Telescope project planned for the top of Mauna Kea, on the Big Island. “That’s the frontier.”"
