APOD 4.6

Humanity's Expansion

This weeks APOD is fascinating in explaining the fact that humanity has many spacecraft that reach beyond where we can ever imagine going with ourselves. Among these spacecraft is one of the first exploration satellites sent up, Voyager 1, which is surprisingly moving fast, and will reach the edge of the solar system first, and will be the first object to explore the heliopause, and outside our home. It also talks of the New Horizons space craft, which is on its way to the Kuiper Belt, and is part of a new program on Zooniverse, where you can discover new objects for it to explore.
