HabEx is a significant upcoming NASA project with a proposed launch date around 2040, alongside the LUVOIR concepts. The details of both projects are still being developed and will take years to finalize. There is optimism about future advancements in space observation, potentially leading to the "Carl Sagan Observatory" within the next 12 years. Additionally, there are expectations for human habitation on Mars by the same timeframe, as suggested by Elon Musk. Overall, the discussions highlight the exciting prospects of future space exploration and observation technologies.

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable. Previous Population III candidates have been ruled out because they didn't meet the three main...
