Looking Back is Looking Forward: The Need for Retrospective Solar System Observations in Advance of Exoplanet Retrievals
Abstract
Look-back observations are a critical stepping stone towards reliably interpreting future exoplanet observations. These analog data sets, including much-needed observations of the solar system at larger separations and high phase angles, should be highlighted for future missions by explicitly listing them as a target of opportunity.
