What if we could reach a distant star faster than ever before? ✨ A potentially Earth-like planet, Proxima Centauri b, lies four light-years away. Today’s spacecraft would take 75,000 years to get there… but a revolutionary new idea could cut that down to just 20 years. Using powerful lasers to push a swarm of tiny autonomous probes, scientists hope to capture images of this distant world and transform how we explore deep space. See how a swarm of tiny spacecraft could have a big impact on how we
