Find Earths

Reveal the population, masses, and orbits of terrestrial and giant planets around nearby stars and the formation, evolution and architecture of planetary systems.

Dark Matter & Galaxy Assembly

Determine the age of and probe the hierarchical formation history of the Milky Way. Map the distribution of local dark matter and place limits on the mass of the dark matter particle.

Precision Stellar Astrophysics

Ultraprecise measurements of the masses and luminosities of the highest and lowest mass stars allow testing of models of stellar evolution, from brown dwarfs to black holes.

Supermassive Black Hole Astrophysics

Understand how black holes accelerate jets, from stellar masses to galaxy central engines.
