Astronomers are proposing the development of a swarm of telescopes to be deployed in the 2040s. This initiative is driven by the quest to answer a pivotal question: Are we alone in the universe?

The upcoming flagship telescopes are expected to enhance our ability to detect signs of life beyond our planet, building on the foundation laid by current technologies.
