In recent years, information about exoplanets have expanded tremendously. More than 3,000 have been identified in >2,000 planetary systems. Their sizes and dynamics are diverse. Several dozen systems have planets in the “habitable zone.” The growing amount of data is increasingly providing (through comparison) important tests of our understanding about the formation and evolution of our solar system. Similarly, our understanding of our solar system has expanded greatly and spacecraft have visited every planet, several asteroids, comets, as well as parts of the Kuiper belt. These observations are complemented by ground-based studies, return samples, expansion of our meteorite collections, increased understanding of Earth, especially its early history and mineral physics experiments. This session will again bring together perspectives with speakers from the American Geophysical Union and the American Astronomical Society to explore common science and develop future connections.  The session is supported by the Kavli Foundation.
