Comets like Halley's are like messages our solar system left us when it was a baby. Even the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS is a message sent by a planetary system that was born long ago and very, very far from Earth. What do they tell us? How are planets born around stars?
Planets have life; yes, you read that right. Well, it is more like planets have a life: they are born, grow, and live around their star, sometimes for a very long time and sometimes not so long. And sometimes planets die too. But there could also be life on planets. What might this life be like? Where is it? Have we found it yet?
