Most stars aren' t single


but atmospheric turbulence limit resolution to
The problem of the atmosphere
details = color ÷ telescope size
details = color ÷ atmosphere turbulence (~10cm)








Classifying
exoplanets








- Hot Jupiters
- lava planets
- rogue planets
- lethal rain
- devoured planets
- evaporating planets
- eccentric orbits
- ocean planets
- zombie planets





Tidally locked planets
Eyeball planets


Multiple-habitable worlds in a single system?


Circumbinary planets


Kepler-16

Super-Earth or mini-Neptune?


Garnet planets
Plate tectonics & magnetic fields - these are important for life
We know the compositions of the stars.....the same elements likely go into the planets that form


Atmospheres
&
Biosignatures?

How does climate change affect NASA? (if the world is going to end, if climate change is such a big problem, wont that affect our study of other planets)


Why is the government underfunding NASA? Are there other ways for NASA to get money?
