It seems like we are finding new planets every week now and a growing amount of Earth-like ones also.

Hopefully , in my lifetime , there will be no need for 'artist impressions'. At least photos with features would be good. Maybe this should replace the primetime games , shows , and other refuse streaming on the binaries.

Unfortunately I think it will be many, many decades......before we can even hope to directly image planets at these distances.......hopefully I will be proven wrong.
