The Future of Astronomy

The biggest observatories that are in operation today are usually in very very remote places often where it's quite dry as well because humidity can also affect astronomical observations. To some extent astronomy is always going in a direction of looking for fainter things because the brightest objects are sort of low hanging fruits and much easier to do science on. We're now really trying to probe the most distant fainter subjects and that's becoming a lot more difficult to do as a result of light pollution.
