1. Professor Lattanzio:

   These include the detection of biologically relevant molecules in interstellar clouds and comets, mid-infrared spectra of interstellar grains and the dust from comets, a diverse set of data from comets including the Rosetta mission showing consistency with biology and the frequency of Earth-like or habitable planets in the Galaxy.

2. Chris Harrison:

   There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way, there is now good evidence that this black hole has driven large amounts of energy into the galaxy in the past, through the so-called ‘Fermi Bubbles,’ as well as other evidence. It is likely that billions of years ago the Milky Way was forming stars much more rapidly and the black hole may have played a role in shutting this down. However, this is not well understood. It is worth pointing out that the galaxies where we believe supermassive black holes have had the most influence are ‘dead’ with little-to-no stars forming. In contrast, the Milky Way is still forming stars (around one per year).

3. Geoffrey Marcy:

   If the Milky Way actually has other intelligent species sending their spacecraft across the galaxy to settle around other stars on other planets, they might communicate using lasers, there could be a galactic Internet not borne by copper wires, not borne by fiber optics, but carried by laser beams crisscrossing the galaxy.

4. Zachory Berta-Thompson:

   Our galaxy spans about 100,000 light-years, so this is definitely a very nearby solar neighborhood star.

5. Joel Leja:

   The revelation that massive galaxy formation began extremely early in the history of the universe upends what many of us had thought was settled science, we’ve been informally calling these objects ‘universe breakers’ — and they have been living up to their name so far.
