Satellite Beyond Our Solar System

Everywhere imaginable nasa is out there.

Satellite beyond our solar system.

The stars are arranged in a pinwheel pattern with four major arms and we live in one of them about two thirds of the way outward from the center. Voyager 2 launched on aug. Nasa s twin voyager probes voyager 1 and voyager 2 were launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets in our solar system. Looking beyond to worlds around other stars.

After encountering uranus in 1986 and neptune in 1989 voyager 2 took a southward trajectory out of the solar system. This fully rendered 3d universe is scientifically accurate allowing you to zoom in for a close look at more than 1 000 exotic planets known to orbit distant stars. This means there are potentially thousands of planetary systems like our solar system within the galaxy. Within it there are at least 100 billion stars and on average each star has at least one planet orbiting it.

Our sun is one of at least 100 billion stars in the milky way a spiral galaxy about 100 000 light years across. Most of the stars in our galaxy are. Other solar systems our milky way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe. Delving deep into our solar system.

Nasa s exploration spans the universe. The last voyager images were taken valentine s day 1990 when voyager 1 looked back from 3 7 billion miles to take a portrait of seven of the nine planets in our own solar system including the pale blue dot that is earth. 20 1977 and voyager 1 launched about. Probing the mysterious structures and origins of our universe.

Observing the sun and its effects on earth. Voyager 2 bottom is still exploring the. Voyager 1 top has sailed beyond our solar bubble into interstellar space the space between stars. Welcome to nasa s eyes a way for you to learn about your home planet our solar system the universe beyond and the spacecraft exploring them.

With applications for mac and pc as well as apps for mobile devices there are many ways for you to follow along with our scientists and engineers. Eyes on exoplanets will fly you to any planet you wish as long as it s far beyond our solar system. And while sending astronauts beyond the solar system remains a distant dream humanity has already launched five robotic probes that are on paths to interstellar space. Its environment still feels the solar influence.

Get set for launch.
