Moons of the gas giants, each is a unique and mysterious world of its own; some have oceans of water, geysers of Sulphur or atmospheres of plastic.

The Sun bathes our planet in warmth and light; it powers the machinery of nature, our weather and encourages and sustains life on land and at sea; scientists study it closely, and it can reveal the secrets of all other stars.

With technological advances and improved techniques scientists are discovering more and more worlds every day.

The night sky is a time machine; the further we look out into the universe the further back in time we reach.

One hundred kilometers above the Earth's surface lies an invisible frontier: the edge of space; this is the Karman Line the boundary between our planet's atmosphere and what lies beyond.

Launching payloads into space is a very difficult task and historically rocket launches are the proverbial 'swords into ploughshares' missiles.

Artificial satellites contribute to life on Earth through their use in communications, weather observation, global positioning and resource management.

Seafaring nature has translated well to the space age seeking to sail out into the unknown in search of riches.

As the latest successes and failures come and go, Mars continues to give up her secrets; invisible clouds are revealed with ultraviolet light.

Discussing the solar system, time and distance, and how the solar system extends far beyond this into interstellar space.

The question often rises is the cost of space exploration really worth it; could the money be better spent elsewhere; one space program would have to remain; the planetary defence program to locate identify and deflect a wayward asteroid.

For an instrument developed as recently as the 17th century, the telescope has travelled a long way; the latest version of the once humble telescope will be going a lot farther, carrying us ever closer to the first light.
