NASA is building a super-powerful telescope that can find millions of neutron stars [the super-dense leftover cores of dead stars] that we can't see right now, even though they're hiding all around our galaxy. By watching how these invisible stars bend and twist the light from other stars, scientists will finally be able to spot them and figure out how fast they're zooming through space. Imagine discovering an entire hidden city of cosmic objects that have been invisible the whole time!
