1. Zachory Berta-Thompson:

   We think it’s the first opportunity we have to point our telescopes at a rocky exoplanet and get that kind of detail, to be able to measure the color of its sunset, or the speed of its winds, and really learn how rocky planets work out there in the universe, those will be exciting observations to make.

2. Joe Pesce:

   The search for potentially habitable or life-bearing worlds in other solar systems depends in part on being able to determine if rocky, Earth-like exoplanets actually have magnetic fields, this research shows not only that this particular rocky exoplanet likely has a magnetic field but provides a promising method to find more.

3. Marshall Perrin:

   We're going to be opening up a lot of new discoveries, hopefully, over the next few years in terms of exoplanet imaging and, in the long run, taking these technologies and scaling them to future 30-meter telescopes, and perhaps large telescopes in space, to continue direct imaging and push down towards the Earth-like planet regime.

4. David Kipping:

   Astronomers have found more than 10,000 exoplanet candidates so far, but exomoons are far more challenging, they are terra incognita.

5. Thomas Mikal-Evans:

   Despite the discovery of thousands of exoplanets, we've only been able to study the atmospheres of a small fraction due to the challenging nature of the observations, we're now moving beyond taking isolated snapshots of specific regions of exoplanet atmospheres, to study them as the 3D systems they truly are.
