What I mean, is that throughout human history, mankind has observed and done research on celestial objects and how everything works.
At one time, it wasn't known that the earth was spherical. At one time we were figuring out how gravity worked. At one time we were discovering the curvature of spacetime.
We continue to learn more and more about the universe and I'm just wondering what the current mystery/mysteries about the universe we're trying to unravel.
I don't know if it's string-theory, black holes, worm holes, or what.|||Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the frontier for astrophysics right now, searching for goldilocks zone exoplanets is pretty cool, but not really a frontier, because we already know how to do it (it's just a matter of time now). String theory is mainly the concern of particle physicists, rather than astrophysicists, though there is certainly some overlap between them.|||the new "frontier" for science is any nanotechnology...
as far as the new frontier for astronomy, i would say that the research at the LHC and fermi lab are in that category along with string theory......but understanding everything about black holes will also be very interesting|||Dark Matter and Dark Energy are the latest mysteries to be solved. There is also the elusive "Theory of Everything", which could either help explain dark matter and energy, or be helped by figuring out what they are.|||Exoplanets, we're finding tons, and we're not even close to done yet. I would be surprised if we didn't find an earth like planet in a star's habitable zone by the end of the decade.
