Darwin (spacecraft)

Darwin is not a spacecraft but rather a proposed mission by the European Space Agency (ESA) to search for planets outside of our solar system that may support life. Imagine if you were looking for treasure in your backyard, but you couldn't see it because it's too small. Darwin uses special tools that allow it to see these tiny planets that are too far away to see with a telescope. These tools can also analyze the planets' atmosphere to see if it has the kind of gases that might indicate the presence of life. So, Darwin is like a super-telescope plus laboratory combined that helps us look for other living worlds in the universe.
