  The ESPRESSO spectrograph at ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT) has, since it
began science operations in October 2018, revolutionised exoplanet science. The
combination of the large VLT mirrors and the high resolution and stability of
the spectrograph is enabling the detection of small, low-mass planets as well
as detailed studies of the planets' atmospheres. In this article, we present a
brief overview of the first results from ESPRESSO and a hopeful glimpse towards
the ultimate goal of reaching the radial velocity precision of 10 cm/s needed
to detect an Earth-like planet.
