The motivation for this conference is the realization that the zodiacal light of other stellar systems is not only a barrier to the detection of extrasolar planets but is also potentially a rich source of information about those planets, how they formed and how solar systems evolve. This presentation is directed to the science potential of visible light instruments that necessarily detect reflected light from circumstellar material. In particular we will examine the ability of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Next Generation Space Telescope (NGST) to examine extrasolar systems. Section II will discuss the appearance of our own zodiacal cloud in the visible as seen by an outside observer, Section III will discuss the basic problem in the visible for NGST and compare it to detection at 10 microns with an interferometer, Section IV will present results for NGST and Section V will discuss the HST.
