Learn About Our Space Missions

NASA and other space agencies have many space missions currently in progress and many more are being planned for the future to give us a better understanding of how the universe is put together and how it works. In the process, old theories may be thrown out and be replaced with new information that shows us what is really happening in space. While many space missions are being conducted to learn about our solar system and its planets, others are studying deep space to learn more about other galaxies, black holes, star formation, dark matter, etc.
