'only' 20 light years away.. that means any measurements based on light (what else can they base it on?) happened 20 years ago.. and type of propulsion to get any satellites or instruments there would take 40 years to get there and back if they were capable of traveling at the speed of light, not including the time spent there.. its a cool discovery, but i don't expect anything to come out of it in our lifetime.
