Beyond Our World
From our planet,
outer space starts about 100 km above the surface. Farther away, there are
only isolated particles of gas and dust in the emptiness of the universe.
Some regions have planets and galaxies. Some scientists say that there is
radiation in space, but we cannot see it. Now, we have some powerful devices
that help us see what is out there. Humans have been curious about outer
space since they noticed there was something beyond the Earth.
The study of the
stars was the foundation of past cultures and civilizations. Since the sky
was always changing, it caused fascination and curiosity. People noticed
patterns in the sun and moon, also in the stars and planets. Astronomy shaped
their beliefs and mindsets. The Babylonians were one of the first civilizations
to register the movements of the moon and sun. A brilliant Persian astronomer
invented a giant device that accurately calculated the Earth’s axis.
