Space, the final frontierβ¦ to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. ~ Gene RoddenberryΒ
We are living in an amazing place in the universe called: The Milky Way Galaxy. It is surrounded by lots and lots of stars, planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects.Β
