There is a concept where we could use the sun’s gravity to make an effectively huuugggeee telescope, enough to image exoplanets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_gravitational_lens

Reply to comment by strangway in ELI5: In recent years, new formats like webp and jfif have started popping up. However, if I rename them to gif or jpeg, they still work. How can it be that renaming the extension doesn't ruin the image format? Why do they even exist then? by Luthemplaer
It is still around and a decent format, just not so much for “normal” images. It is big in medical imaging and some other specialty industries for a number of its features.
