Search for alien life has been a matter of fascination for humankind for centuries. As tools of modern science became more and more available, scientists have cast an informed gaze at the universe in search of alien life. 
Amusingly, NASA is enlisting the help of 24 theologians as part of its efforts to determine how different religions around the world would react to contact with aliens. In fact, Rev Dr Andrew Davison, a British priest and theologist at Cambridge University with a degree in Biochemistry, is already working with NASA.
Humanity has now also got a fresh tool ready to look in the sky. The James Webb space telescope was launched on December 26. This will be humanity's main space telescope over the aging Hubble space telescope. We will soon be able to see corners of the universe that were unobservable to us before this.
