This technique didn't exist when spitzer was launched. It seemed wild to think we could do this for a world outside the solar system. This programme was one of the last large pro ams that was carried out before spitzer was retired. But what about ground base telescopes, the whole new class of giant no 30 meter and up telescopes?
