NASA's Pandora mission, launched on January 11, will study exoplanets (planets outside our solar system) discovered by other missions to gain information about the planets’ atmospheres and how their stars may produce or affect the signals we detect from them. Elisa Quintana, Pandora’s principal investigator at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center: “Pandora’s goal is to disentangle the atmospheric signals of planets and stars using visible and near-infrared light. This information can help astronomers determine if detected elements and compounds are coming from the star or the planet — an important step as we search for signs of life in the cosmos.” https://ow.ly/OEzt50XW9sw
