Rotational Variability of Earth's Polar Regions: Implications for Detecting Snowball Planets

Rotational Variability of Earth's Polar Regions: Implications for Detecting Snowball Planets

We have obtained the first time-resolved, disk-integrated observations of Earth's poles with the Deep Impact spacecraft as part of the EPOXI mission of opportunity. These data mimic what we will see when we point next-generation space telescopes at nearby exoplanets. We use principal component...
