The  diversity and prolific number of planets discovered have revolutionised  our conception of the nature planet in the Universe. They have opened up  the idea of the possible rarity of planetary systems similar to our  own, but also exciting prospects for the potential to probe the  atmospheres of planets in search of traces of life. We are living in a  historic moment that brings us closer to exploring life in the universe  and understanding the origins of life on Earth. The  talk will present an overview of current challenges and pathway for  detecting Earth-like systems and the idea of prevalence of life in the  Universe.
