Veloce VerdeAzzuro - Tripling the Power of Australia's Planet Foundry

The discovery of planets orbiting other stars is transforming our understanding of humanity's place in the Universe. Answering the most basic of all questions Are we alone? Is our home in the Solar System unique? Or common?" has never been more important or more pressing. Veloce VerdeAzzuro will be transformative in positioning Australia at the international forefront of this science. Moving beyond discovering habitable planets around dim red stars, it will enable break-through science on the properties and system architectures of planets orbiting stars like the Sun. It will deliver a 10-fold increase in collecting power for Sun-like stars, powering a new understanding of how exoplanetary systems - and our Solar System - were formed.
