I will then discuss in detail the observatio nal challenges associated with making the necessary measurements and obtai ning the necessary data\, with a focus on the systematic\, technical\, and physical limitations of the measurement. I will review the implications o f these limitations for the science we want to do\, and I will summarise f uture prospects for overcoming these challenges.\n\nhttps://iaus379.aip.de /event/20/contributions/293/ LOCATION:Haus H\, Telegrafenberg URL:https://iaus379.aip.de/event/20/contributions/293/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
