Associate Professor Ilse Cleeves from the University of Virginia says @prima-probe.bsky.social would help her study how exoplanets form, how much water vapor is available during planet formation, and how many planets are out there! More about the proposed mission: prima.ipac.caltech.edu. #prima2025
