Statement from the Division for Planetary Science of the American Astronomical Society
“The Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society, the world’s largest professional organization of planetary scientists, is following with close attention the on-going discussions within Congress, the Office of Management and Budget, and NASA over future funding for science, and for the James Webb Space Telescope.
