As Breakthrough Star Shot encourages the possibility of sending a small probe to take high-resolution images of the nearest stars, it is astounding that the use of charged-coupled devices in cameras allowed for the transformation of our view of the solar system in a matter of years. In the next few decades, the possibility of capturing images beyond Earth is an achievable milestone that represents the forward movement of astronomy and science.
