Researchers have proposed 27 exoplanet targets for the Lazuli Space Telescope, the first private space telescope, due to launch by 2029. It will carry a 3 meter mirror, larger than Hubble's 2.4 meter one, and three instruments including a coronagraph that studies planets by their reflected starlight. The list comes from Logan Pearce of the University of Michigan and Ewan Douglas of the University of Arizona, and includes some well known worlds.
