Finding an Earth-like world in the habitable zone of a sunlike star is the dream but beyond the current telescopes. The next best thing will be to analyze the atmosphere of a terrestrial planet in the habitable zone of a red dwarf star. This is a task that JWST could accomplish, examining the atmospheres of several well-studied planets, like the TRAPPIST-1 worlds, LHS1140b, and K2-18b. However, the work could require 1000+ hours of JWST to get a solid result.
