"We are a way for the Cosmos
to know itself."
-Carl Sagan
Space has interested mankind since the dawn of civilization. Through the ages, people have many-a-time asked the question "why?", and many-a-time they have been incapable of answering it. In the effort to answer this question, myth and religion were born. But there were some people whom these explanations did not satisfy. Thus, the first scientists, who tried to explain natural phenomena from their observations, came into existence. As the years passed by, scientists' ideas and theories were slowly perfected. Today, our knowledge of the world around us is aided by high technology that allows us to see more, and thus know more. However, there are many, many mysteries yet to be solved, and an infinite number of which our limited brains will never even be able to penetrate. Many of the mysteries yet to be solved lie in the heavens above, and so it is up to us to play the role of the detectives - the detectives of the universe - in this new space age.
