TOUR THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Only half our solar system is filled with planets. Find out what the other half is full of. Did you know that we are not the only solar system of planets in the galaxy?
ROBOTIC SPACE EXPLORATION
We are inspired by human space exploration, but these space robots can go places humans could never go – and for longer periods of time. Much of the exploration we’ve accomplished in the solar system is because of our ability to make robots and send them to explore.
PLUTO AND THE EDGE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Why isn’t Pluto a planet anymore? Did it change, or did our understanding of it change? Explore thousands of previously undiscovered objects like Pluto at the outer edges of the solar system.
EXOPLANETS – PLANETS BEYOND OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
Discovering exoplanets is one of the most exciting fields in astronomy today. We have found thousands of planets besides the ones that circle our Sun now, and planet-hunting has reached a fever pitch.
MANNED SPACE EXPLORATION
Take a trip with the first people to land on the moon and see why the Space Shuttle changed everything about space travel. Explore our plans to go back to the moon and then on to Mars.
SO YOU THINK YOU KNOW THE MOON?
We see the moon in the sky every night, but how well do we know her? Explore the many ways the moon affects the Earth and its people. You’ll never see the moon the same again.
