In fact, at one time or another, everyone has looked up in the sky and wondered about the stars and planets that are commonly found in the night sky. From the earliest age to elderly adults, people have watched and considered what it was like to visit these far off bodies.

And, through the history of space flight, man has come closer than ever to the once unreachable stars and planets. With the visits to the far off planets, man has seen video evidence of what it is like in the sky.
