Space, is it the final frontier for mankind, as the infamous frontline for Star Trek fans claim? Understanding space and the amazing wonder that compels people to discover the unique properties contained within the vastness of the universe is to recognize, in comparison, the microcosm of humanity's yearning expanse for infinite knowledge. For in our finite humanity we seek to expand the reaches of our physical and spiritual confines, to reach beyond the reachable has been a human trait since man's beginning. Yet because of our physical properties we can only test and theorize to a point, there comes moment where imagination merges with reality to create what we believe is the inner makings of our universe, including space.
Yet that point is far from being reached, at least at the time of this writing, for what we know to be true is reported to us by one of the foremost authority of our universe, Space.com. Fortunately for us Space.com does not stop at reporting the news and business of space but through their team of software experts bring us Starry Night, an incredible discovery of space like we have never experienced!
