Giant liquid mirrors could revolutionize the hunt for habitable worlds – Meson Stars
A Giant Mirror Made of Liquid—Floating in Space? Meet the Future of Telescopes Imagine a telescope so massive its mirror stretches 50 meters across—wider than a U.K. soccer field and nearly eight times the size of James Webb’s iconic eye on the cosmos. But here’s the twist: this mirror isn’t solid glass. It’s a delicate film of liquid, suspended in space. Welcome to FLUTE—the Fluidic Telescope—a bold concept developed by NASA and Technion that c…
Exoplanet Atmospheric Escape Observations with the Habitable Worlds Observatory - Astrobiology
The Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 highlights the importance of advancing research focused on discovering and characterizing habitable worlds. In line with this priority, our goal is to investigate how planetary systems evolve through atmospheric escape and to develop methods for identifying potentially Earth-like planets. By leveraging the ultraviolet (UV) capabilities of the […] The post Exoplanet Atmospheric Escape Observat…
