In a few decades, orbiting telescopes such as Kepler and James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) may be operational and sending us data. What might these results mean for our use of the Drake equation?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Interferometry is a technique used to combine data from multiple telescopes to achieve a higher resolution than is possible with a single telescope. With orbiting telescopes like Kepler and JWST, interferometry could be used to gather more accurate data on exoplanets, which could in turn provide more accurate inputs for the Drake equation.
