Think the exciting days of space exploration are over? Think again! Our Solar System is still full of thrilling discoveries waiting to be made. Sure, we might have missed the first moon landing or the initial reveal of planets like Venus and Mars. But that doesn’t mean the fun has stopped.
Let’s talk about the Rosetta spacecraft from Europe. Just a decade ago, it gave us an incredible close-up look at a comet. Even better, its tiny lander Philae found a frosty surprise on the comet’s surface. And that’s not all! NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft visited Pluto and discovered ice volcanoes. The point is, our cosmic backyard is full of mysteries yet to be uncovered. Even if you weren’t born during what some call the golden age of space exploration, there’s still so much to discover right here in our Solar System.
