Observations of Planets Near and Far with Next-Generation Telescopes II

Session ID#: 60185
Session Description:
Future observatories can enable groundbreaking planetary science in the solar system and beyond. For instance, large-aperture telescopes could obtain flyby or orbiter-quality imaging and spectroscopic data from many solar system objects. This would allow for monitoring of, e.g. possible geyser activity on icy moons or storms on the giant planets. Beyond the solar system, these same future large observatories could discover and characterize many nearby exoplanets, some of which may be habitable and could be examined for signs of life. Improving our understanding of nearby planets, moons, and small bodies with future large telescopes will help us to better understand exoplanets -- and vice versa -- through powerful comparative planetology applied across multiple planetary systems. The worlds of our solar system guide our understanding of other planets elsewhere as nearby data-rich targets, while exoplanets help place Earth and our solar system into a broader context.
