Searching for exoplanets.
Abstract
A study has been completed by a NASA Science Working Group, concluding that a serious search for planets orbiting stars other than our Sun (Exoplanets) is feasible. It should include the examination of the entire system of events leading up to the formation of a planetary system, and so the study of circumstellar material is an integral part of the study of exoplanetary systems.
