The
Interstellar Frontiers 2024 conference was held
this week in Perth and on-line.
The meeting brought together researchers interested in
the search for life, which has progressed rapidly during the last five years
in both astrobiology and astronomy. The growth is a combination of new
technologies on older telescopes, new ideas, new powerful telescopes,
advances in sample-based astrobiology, and more funding. This growth
puts us in a unique position to evaluate our goals and successes as
well as to discuss what has been done, what is being done, and what
new opportunities the next generation of equipment will create.

to the conference, reflecting the wide range of topics considered.
