It's the discovery of the first KBO!!! (Kuiper Belt Object)
The astronomer Dave Jewitt and his graduate student Jane Luu were looking for trans-Neptunian objects.
They were trying to find a faint asteroid among thousands of stars.
To accomplish this, they took many images of the same portion of the sky.
The stars stayed in the same location, but the asteroid slowly moved.
Voila! In 1992 they found the first KBO (now called 1992 QB1).
Now isn't that awesome? :D

Stop???? What is this "Stop" which you speak?

Just Kidding! :lol:

I would say to keep going as long as you have time for. Never hurts to know more than you need to, and it's hard to tell how much that is before the rules come out...

He probably means where do we have to stop learning in the planets area with moons and stuff. Like when do we learn enough. But the answer is you never have learned enough.
