It is pretty magical to think how much we have learned and discovered in outer space in not even the past 100 years
We can determine the compositions of atmospheres of exoplanets, meassure the merger of neutron stars and even take a look at an actual photo of an accretion disk around a super massive black hole
This seemed pretty much impossible not that long ago, I really cannot wait what we will find in the next 100 years!

@stux@mstdn.social Indeed. I hope science finds a way to lengthen one's life significantly so I can see more of it before I croak.

@stux@mstdn.social Nothing more, their will be too many junk on space to see anything or being able to send a costly instrument

@stux@mstdn.social nearly to the point of measuring atmospheric constituents of rocky exoplanets, which might go a long way towards establishing if alien life-like-us exists.

@stux@mstdn.social A hundred years? The first exoplanet was found in 1995...
