Interested in Getting Involved in the Habitable Worlds Observatory? Join our splinter meeting at the Jan AAS!
NASA is now preparing for the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO), a future large UV/optical/IR space telescope that will conduct a wide range of transformative astrophysics, from extragalactic UV science to direct observations of Earth-like planets. Two teams (START & TAG) have recently been formed to study this mission and are looking for community-wide involvement.
Join us at the HWO splinter meeting on Wednesday, January 10 from 12:45 – 3:30 PM CT to learn how you can get involved. You can join in-person in R08 / R09 at the convention center in New Orleans or online via Zoom.
We will describe the goals & activities of the study teams, discuss pathways for community participation via Working Groups, and hear about relevant scientific and technological progress. The full splinter agenda and Zoom connection info may be found inside this google sheet.
