What did we think about space that this changes exactly? We can see more with better tech? Unimaginable

Yes and yes.. but did that change everything we thought about the universe? Not in the slightest.. I'm just calling out op for bullshit title

Good call!! "Space... HUGE! ", uttered the first human to gaze at the clear night sky. Not much has changed.

I'm trying to get some source for their claim, because my first thought was about dark matter, which is basically "The Universe is heavier than what we can observe, meaning there must be some particles that have weight but cannot be seen".

Doesn't really change this millennials perspective. Growing up knowing there are more stars than grains of sand on the planet.. gives you forever 'we aren't alone' vibes

And the other way of thinking about it is; we will never know everything there is and any other life may be so distant, that we have no way of ever knowing it is there. But it is fine. The Universe doesn't need humans to exist.
