Our Solar System

Man’s knowledge of our solar system has truly taken a quantum leap from the time when men believed that the sun, moon and stars revolved around the planet earth.

Today, the Hubble Space Telescope is revealing unimaginably detailed images of even the most distant stars and planets. See amazing Hubble Telescope images of the Shoemaker-Levy Comet as it crashes into the surface of the gas giant Jupiter.

Planetary probes have now visited every planet in our solar system, with the exception of Pluto, making remarkable discoveries on each mission.

Now, all eyes are on Mars, where a debate rages…was there once life on the Red Planet? It may require a manned mission to find the truth.
