Scientists across the world have declared that no further research is required in the field of astronomy, saying that everything about space is now sufficiently understood.
The decision, announced today at the virtual Global Consortium of Astronomy, Astrology and Astrophysics conference, was met with applause but not surprise from the astronomical community.
The Pluto thing distracted us for a while, but really weve been on a trajectory to finishing our research since the early 2000s, says Professor April Furst, an astrophysicist at the Facility Of Observational Lens and Spectrometry in Space (FOOLSs), University of Eastern Australia.
We think weve figured it out at this point. There might be a few more black holes we can discover, but everything else is pretty much mapped. Humanity can now look to the stars, and not wonder about anything.
The decision comes along with a proposal to convert the worlds biggest telescopes including the Square Kilometre Array into theme parks.

Ya see, those guys looking through their big scopes with unprotected eyes, they don't get the full spectrum of light. He got to see it all and did so in the name of science.
Now we are all benefiting from his effort and astrological pronouncements.
