While everyone knows about Saturn\u2019s spectacular ring system, it\u2019s often forgotten that Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune are also encircled by fainter and narrower rings. Each of these systems interacts closely with a family of small, inner moons. Showalter works on some of NASA\u2019s highest-profile missions to the outer planets, including Cassini, now orbiting Saturn, and New Horizons, which flew past Jupiter en route to its 2015 encounter with Pluto. He has even searched for the rings of Mars, although so far with no success. Known for his persistence in planetary image analysis, Mark&#8217;s work on the earlier Voyager mission led to his discovery of Jupiter\u2019s faint, outer \u201cgossamer\u201d rings and Saturn\u2019s tiny ring-moon, Pan.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Moderator:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Franck Marchis &#8211; Dr. Franck Marchis is a Planetary Astronomer at the Carl Sagan Center of the SETI Institute and also an associate astronomer at the Observatoire de Paris. Our solar system is characterized by considerable diversity of its constituent bodies. Franck Marchis\u2019 first involvement in the study of this diversity started in 1996 while working at the UNAM Astronomy Department in Mexico City. He made the first ground-based observations of the volcanoes on the jovian moon Io, using the first Adaptive Optics (AO) systems available on the European Southern Observatory (ESO) 3.6 m telescope in Chile. After a brief stay in London and four years in Chile at ESO, he completed in 2000 his PhD in France. Since then, he has been studying asteroids with large telescopes and he discovered in 2005 the first triple using the Very Large Telescope in Chile. His work consists in using and developing adaptive optics on current and future 30m telescopes dedicated to the study of the solar system and extra solar planets.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a SETI Institute video of a panel discussion\u00a0\u00a0on the topic of accurately depicting exoplanets:\u00a0\u00a0Artists Imaging Exoworlds-Getting It Right (SETI Con 2) &nbsp; From the caption: Panelists: Lynette Cook &#8211; most widely known as an out-of-this-world space artist, Cook has enthralled others with the wonders of the cosmos via her depictions of planets discovered outside &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=8854\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Video: Panel on artists, exoplanets, and getting it right<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,20,13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-exoplanets","category-space-arts","category-space-science"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p34aWK-2iO","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":9003,"url":"https:\/\/hobbyspace.com\/Blog\/?p=9003","url_meta":{"origin":8854,"position":0},"title":"Video: Do any Exoplanets have intelligent occupants? &#8211; SETIcon 2 panel","author":"TopSpacer","date":"October 11, 2014","format":false,"excerpt":"Below is another panel discussion from the SETI Institute's SETIcon 2\u00a0event. \u00a0This one is titled: Do Any Exoplanets Have Intelligent Occupants?\u00a0As listed in\u00a0the caption, the\u00a0panelists include: Jon M.
