#Guardian 📆 Tue 4 Jul 2023 If successful, #BreakthroughStarshot could get to #AlphaCentauri 🪐 not in 76,000 years but in just 20. It would revolutionise our understanding of the #universe 🌌 by enabling closeup observations of #exoplanets and their atmospheres, and potentially even detecting signs of life.

In 100 years’ time the question ‘are we alone in the universe?’ may seem as ridiculous as the idea of the #Earth being at the centre of the #universe, when we are in contact with a dazzling array of alien life 👽 out there. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2023/jul/04/look-back-and-marvel-how-will-todays-science-be-viewed-in-2123
