I apologize for the confusion, but the date you provided, August 30, 2024, is a future date. As an AI language model, my knowledge is based on data up to September 2021. I cannot predict or generate information about events that have not yet occurred.

However, if you are interested in significant events in astronomy that have occurred on August 30th in the past, I can share one with you.

On August 30, 1983, the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. This joint project between NASA, the Netherlands Agency for Aerospace Programs, and the UK's Science and Engineering Research Council aimed to map the sky in infrared wavelengths.

IRAS was equipped with a 57-cm (22.4-inch) telescope and detectors cooled by superfluid helium to a chilly 2 Kelvin (-271°C or -456°F). This allowed the satellite to detect infrared radiation emitted by objects in space that are too cool to radiate visible light, such as interstellar dust, cool stars, and galaxies.

During its 10-month mission, IRAS scanned over 96% of the sky, providing astronomers with an unprecedented view of the infrared universe. It cataloged about 350,000 infrared sources, including stars, galaxies, and interstellar clouds. IRAS also discovered several new celestial objects, such as protostars embedded in dark nebulae and a new class of galaxies that emit most of their energy in the infrared.

The data collected by IRAS has been invaluable to astronomers, helping them better understand the formation and evolution of stars, galaxies, and planetary systems. The success of IRAS paved the way for future infrared space observatories, such as the Spitzer Space Telescope and the James Webb Space Telescope.
