By tracking objects, astrometry helps predict future positions of asteroids and comets. Without it, we wouldn't be able to plan missions to orbit, the Moon, or other planets in the solar system.

Did you know that the center of the Milky Way smells like rum & tastes like raspberries? The IRAM radio telescope zeroed in on a gas cloud at the center of our galaxy and detected a chemical called ethyl formate which gives rum its distinct smell and raspberries their distinct flavor.
