Because Destiny is moving through the universe, traveling at FTL speed from one area to another, it seems that we would leave a lot of mysteries behind, encounter aliens we may never see again, and experience a lot of "unfinished" stories. Not getting the answer right away is one of the things that keeps me watching!
Whereas other shows have "arcs" that might last several episodes or a season but will generally be resolved eventually, I think that SGU is in one way an "arcless" show in that each episode has a standalone story that may or may not be referred to again later - but in another way the entire timeline of the show is one giant arc, the "Destiny lost in space" arc. We can assume that they will not get back to Earth (if they ever do) until the very end of the series.
Anyway, I'm happy with the planet and star remaining a mystery, a nice bit of "Shore Leave" for those who came back to the Destiny.
