I was recently reading the November-December 2025 issue of "Science Scope", a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.
In this issue, I read the section, "Scope on the Skies" written by Bob Riddle. He wrote an article entitled, "Is Anyone Home?"
We have always been curious about life beyond Earth, but we still do not have a definitive answer about that life beyond Earth. In a "big picture" sense, what we learn because of our curiosity, our intelligence, and certainly our technology offers us a chance to shape our future and, as educators, to increase our student's curiosity and appreciation for the magnitude of the universe and the possibilities of life beyond Earth.
