      So many things!

      I would really like to discover the first stars to ever have formed. They invented Chemistry and are the reason why other stars then formed and ultimately allowed us to exist.

      It would be super cool to discover what dark matter is of course, but I will likely keep discovering new super distant galaxies instead!

      There so much we don’t know! Discovering what dark matter and dark energy actually are would be major discoveries and would hopefully answer a lot of questions in physics.

    I’d like to discover the next supernova to occur in our Galaxy – because we are overdue for one, and we could learn so much from a nearby supernova. It’s possible that I might actually do that: we would see a core-collapse supernova first as a neutrino burst, so if the neutrinos happened to reach Earth when I was on shift on our experiment, I might be the first person to spot it!!
