I am truly surprise that we don't get more interstellar visitors into our solar system. It kind shows how small our solar system is, or other way, how big the universe is.

We don't just look in the sky any more, we watch the same spot over time and look for changes. We are seeing more spots, more time, and more changes. An investment in telescopes is an investment in physics.
