Abstract
We review the landscape for directly characterizing potentially Earth-like planets at UV, optical, and near-IR wavelengths in the late 2020s and beyond. We discuss both ground- and space-based capabilities; ground-based observations are preferred for planets orbiting nearby cool dwarfs, while space is ideal for planets orbiting Sun-like stars.
