Courtesy of Planetary Science Newsletter– Overview papers on HWO– the facility-flagship telescope after, and bigger than, the James Webb telescope- are out now, and accepting comments from the science community. Note that HWO will view in the optical and ultraviolet, unlike James Webb. This makes it more relevant to asteroids and comets.
