Gazing beyond our blue planet
From the earliest times, humans have looked up at the night sky with wonder. Stars, planets, galaxies, and the vastness of space have always inspired a sense of awe and curiosity. With each new discovery, we understand not only more about the universe but also how its forces, directly and indirectly, influence our lives on Earth. This area will help you embark on a journey through space, understand the cosmos, and ultimately, understand ourselves a bit better.
