On September 2, 2025, at 12:45 AM, an event that can be imagined is the discovery of a new exoplanet located in a habitable zone around a distant star. This discovery, made by a team of astronomers utilizing advanced telescope technology, generated excitement in the scientific community as it suggested the potential for extraterrestrial life. The team announced their findings during a live-streamed press conference, where they shared fascinating details about the planet's atmosphere, composition, and its Earth-like conditions. From one month prior, on August 2, 2025, the team had received preliminary data that hinted at the existence of this exoplanet during a survey of nearby star systems. Looking back 1000 years, we can remember that in the year 1025, significant events also unfolded, such as the strengthening of Viking influence in parts of England and the expansion of the Byzantine Empire under Emperor Basil II. In September of that year, regional power struggles were taking place, setting the stage for changes in European dynamics in the years to follow. Thus, September 2, 2025, became a symbolic date linking humanity's continued quest for knowledge about the universe with the historical tapestry of exploration and discovery that has spanned the last millennium.
