Announcing the Astrophysics from the Moon, Mars, and Beyond Science and Technology Interest Group
What can't we see from Earth orbit? Dark matter signatures hidden in the Dark Ages. The magnetic fields shielding habitable worlds around nearby stars. Gravitational waves from merging intermediate-mass black holes. The surfaces of Sun-like stars at unprecedented milliarcsecond resolution.
These are just some of the discoveries waiting beyond Earth's atmosphere and interference. The Astrophysics from the Moon, Mars, & Beyond Science & Technology Interest Group (AMMB STIG) is formulating the science cases and defining the next-generation technologies needed to build the next great observatory - and it might just be on the Moon!
If you’re attending the AAS Summer Meeting this week, stop by the PhysCOS table to learn more about AMMB STIG, or reach out to nmahesh@caltech.edu to get involved.
