| Summary: | The South Pole represents a unique venue for accomplishing certain types of planetary astronomy. Included in the areas that would benefit from the polar geometry, low-foreground sky, and dry atmosphere are: observations of the inner planets, studies of comets, searches for Vulcanoids, searches for interstellar comets, and work involving stellar and lunar occultations. 1. |
