The Cosmos
Here you'll find an exploration of astrophysics, space, cosmology. What do we really know about the universe and its origins? What are the fascinating ways in which scientists are measuring, imaging, and exploring it? If you could draw the universe, what would it look like? With recent leaps in technology, who's on the leading edge of the new "Earth-like planet gold rush" and what are they finding? Is there life beyond what we know, and if so, are we likely to find it?
