The greatest sadness about astronomy is you can look at images of all the galaxies, and know you'll never be able to visit them.

Take the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field. You can look at all the galaxies and the sheer number and vastness, and know that there are probably planets that are probably conducive to humans. But they're all so far away!!

Sometimes the universe is kinda mean, it shows you all this splendor, and then says, "Haha, nope! Stay on Earth sucker". In that sense, astronomy is one of the most depressing subjects, since you can never visit any of the places you study.

Eh, this doesn't bother me so much. The Mon R2 GCM I've been researching looks beautiful from here but up close it's essentially a vacuum up close. On another note, the galaxy here is already huge, and nearly certainly contains planets conducive to humans.

This doesn't address quite the same problem you are, but I would highly recommend reading The Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu (or 三体 if your mandarin is good enough :) ). I'd recommend anyone read it, but especially those interested in pursuing a future career in astronomy or physics as it really contextualizes fundamental physics and the possibilities of extraterrestrial intelligence within the scale of the universe, and is incredibly good at portraying science accurately.
