The advent of photography and computers means that our data is forever.

So a star that doesn't do anything, that seemed boring to us for 10 years, 25 years from now, it might do something interesting.

And if we don't have that record, if we don't do our work, then they don't stand a chance of finding anything.

If we all pitch in, if we all do a little bit like we did.

With the screensavers when we were kids.

If our entire community of astronomers and scientists and the public come along with us, we're going to make a dent.
