Direct Multi-Pixel Imaging and Spatially-Resolved Spectroscopy of a Potentially Habitable Exoplanet with the Solar Gravitational Lens

Direct high-resolution investigations of a potentially habitable exoplanet may result in finding extra-terrestrial life. This can be achieved with a telescope at the focal region of the Solar Gravitational Lens. Resulting facility is the only practical way to achieve a multi-pixel image at a km-scale resolution on the surface of an exoplanet.
