New NASA flagship telescope being designed to seek out strange new worlds that could support life as we know it.

Called the Habitable Worlds Observatory, the telescope is so massive it may even need to ride a next-gen megarocket like SpaceX's Starship.

It will also require new technological innovations to hunt for Earth 's twin across the light-years .

The current plan for HWO is to launch the observatory in 2026 on NASA 's new Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope .
