Great article, thanks for posting. It’s quite difficult to envisage such a massive balloon but an innovative alternative to a satellite.

Makes back-garden astrophotography sound easy!

Great mission, thank you for sharing!

Tough formulation ‘rival Hubble’). Looking forward to the results of supporting ‘Hubble Space Telescope [..till..] it inevitably fails’ with even better results, as it expected after so many years of Hubble solo.
