Scientific paper
A new scientific discipline has emerged in recent years, stimulated partly by advances in instrumental capability and partly by scientific discoveries. It is the study of systems of planets and of the interactive processes which link the planets with their central star. Two broad foci exist in this field: the study of other planetary systems and the study of the solar system. It is the thesis of this paper that the study of planetary systems will be a key discipline of the 21st century, and that it requires several observatories on the moon for its ultimate development.
