New data seems to be accumulating faster and faster as tools get better and more plentiful. Before scientists get a chance to figure it out, more new stuff piles on top! Thank you, wonderful Anton!

Astroseismology - just the concept is mind blowing that we can do that at all! And the more I hear about black holes, the more I think that dormant black holes could well be the explanation for dark matter.

I read a publisher's introduction of the Principia today. I had to stop several times, because my eyes kept filling with tears. How Newton must have felt when he realized his calculations worked for planets and moons. Gravity!
