Looking what is beyond!

The Sun, our star, and everything gravitationally connected to it,

including the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,

and Neptune, dwarf planets like Pluto, dozens of moons, and millions of

asteroids, comets, and meteoroids, make up our solar system. We have

found thousands of planetary systems orbiting other stars in the Milky Way

in addition to our own solar system.

The night sky contains more planets than stars outside of our own

solar system. The Milky Way has thousands of planetary systems orbiting

other stars, and new planets are continually being identified. The Milky Way

is only one of perhaps 100 billion galaxies in the universe, and most of the

hundreds of billions of stars in it are believed to have their own planets.

While our planet may appear to be a little dot in the wide cosmos, we

are not alone. It appears that there are many planets in the cosmos, which

is made up of a web of stars and many families of objects, some of which

may have life of their own.
