It feels like we're approaching a situation where good clean astronomical data is going to have to be collected off-world.
Like, people in astronomy must be talking about such a scenario and how far away it is and what needs to be done.
A moon base seems like an obvious solution with dishes and telescopes all over the place.
to connect all moon based equipment, we could build a network transmitted by satalites orbiting the moon!
