In the sun-drenched city of Almería, a fourteen-year tradition of looking skyward has reached a new altitude: Nobel laureate Brian Schmidt joined ESA scientist Carole Mundell at the University of Almería's Astronomical Journeys to speak plainly about the universe's vastness and the near-certainty, in Schmidt's view, that intelligent life exists beyond our world. The gathering is less a single event than a signal — that a region not historically synonymous with global science is quietly, deliberately, building a place at the table of cosmic inquiry.
