Cometary Science: The Present and Future
نویسنده
چکیده
The preceding chapters in this book have provided a comprehensive study of our present knowledge of comets, from the interstellar medium, through formation of the solar system and the present day, to the death of comets. This chapter will make no attempt to summarize the previous chapters. Rather, based on the material in the previous chapters, this chapter will ask about the high-level state of our knowledge in major areas. Is our knowledge mostly speculation based on fragmentary data? Is our knowledge mature in terms of data but immature in interpretation? Is the entire area mature with a full understanding of the implications for the larger fields of science? A natural outgrowth of this approach is to ask where we might be a decade into the future. What would we like to know? What are we likely to know? Where might the big surprises lie?
