Exoplanet-Spying Supertelescope

By William D Adams

What if we could take a picture of a planet orbiting a distant star light-years away? What would we find there? Learn how Nobel Prize-winning physicist John Mather is planning to pair a giant observatory on Earth with a huge unfolding satellite to take pictures our distant neighbors. The books in the Out of This World series feature projects that have won grants from the NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts program (NIAC). The program provides funding to teams working to develop bold new advances in space technology.
