I wonder if they will ever be able to use the light reflection/absorption to tell what the atmosphere is like on those planets.

Tell us something.: I'm a fiddler and, latterly, a fluter. I love the flute. I wish I'd always played it. I love the whistle as well. I'm blessed in having really lovely instruments for all of my musical interests.

Apparently they already can, though it only works well with hot jupiters so far.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Seeing as an omelet involves destroying the yolk making sunny side up an impossibility, I would say it is because of deep hidden desires to control the universe with a star destroying device.
