However, those images were static: brief snapshots in time of complex and dynamic systems. Recently, our knowledge of these giant planets has undergone striking new advances. In this talk, Dr. Hammel will bring you up to date on these planets, discussing her results from the Hubble Space Telescope program, imaging from Keck Observatory\u2019s telescopes, and other observations. She will also discuss her team\u2019s plans to use the just-launched James Webb Space Telescope for ice giant studies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thu, Feb 17 at 7 PM PST.
