If you should want to observe a Toba or Yellowstone supervolcano exploding from 10 parsecs away.

("Direct Imaging" is a term of art here. It refers to planets being imaged separately from stars, but still appearing as dots - just very interesting ones. The aerosols & gas from an eruption would show up in disc-integrated spectra.)

Following Quick will be Mike Sori of PurdueEAPS on Enabling the Future of Planetary Geodesy at Mars, discussing paths forward for planetary geodesy, including in the development of its future workforce. here: https://hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2024/pdf/1699.pdf. #LPSC2024
At the plenary on Future Science at #LPSC2024 Lynnae Quick from NASA Goddard has a talk about A Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Pilot Program to Aid in the Diversification of the Planetary Science Pipeline. Abstract: hhttps://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/lpsc2024/pdf/2068.pdf
Some great talks are scheduled for this event, a thread... #LPSC2024
On Pi Day and everyday. Happy 3.14 to all who celebrate. #LPSC2024

Let me finish this #LPSC2024 thread with a #DwarfPlanetCeres paper, covering features I always found amusing in #DawnMission photos. Attached is one of my favs, in Kupalo crater (right "besides" Juling) https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/jpeg/PIA20944.jpg
