These probes would be tiny disks with optical sensors, accelerated into space by lasers, travelling at 0.2 times the speed of light.

Taking high quality images of the stars and planets around us could tell us about their chemistry and how they formed. What else could we learn from these images?
Cool idea. I wonder how they would orient themselves without internal propulsion.
