Sputnik 14 October 1957The first artificial Earth satelliteSpent 3 months in orbit

LAUNCHED BY SOVIET UNION

IN LOW EARTH ORBIT

IT TRIGGERED A RACE

BURNED UPON REENTERING EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE5

Luna 1January 2,1959First spacecraft to reach the vicinity of the Earth's Moon

FIRST TO REVOLVE AROUND MOON

MADE BY SOVIET UNION

PROVIDED FIRST CRUDE DATA ON MOON

MADE OBSERVATIONS OF HIGH ENERGYPARTICLES EXISTENCE AND SOLAR WIND

Voyager 1Flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, and Saturn's large moon, TitanExtended mission to explore the regions beyond our Solar-system

SEPTEMBER 5, 1977 by NASA

STUDIED THE WEATHER, MAGNETIC FIELDS, AND RINGS OF THE TWO PLANETS.

THE FIRST PROBE TO PROVIDE DETAILED IMAGES OF THEIR MOONS.

EXTENDED MISSION TO OUTER SOLAR SYSTEM.

IN 2012, IT EXIT THE SOLAR SYSTEM AND ENTERED INTERSTELLER REGION.

FARTHEST SPACECRAFT FROM EARTH AND THE ONLY ONE IN INTERSTELLAR SPACE.7

GalileoOctober 13, 1989Unmanned spacecraft that studied other planets and its moons

FLYBYS OF VENUS, EARTH TOWARDS JUPITER.

ORBITTED PLANET JUPITER AND ITS MOONS.

DETAILED STUDY OF JUPITER

Apollo 11July 20, 1969Armstrong became the first to step onto the lunar surfacecollected 21.5kg of lunar material for return to Earth

LANDED THE FIRST HUMANS ON THE MOON, NEIL ARMSTRONG AND HIS TEAM.

COLLECTED 21.5KG OF LUNAR MATERIAL FOR RETURN TO EARTH

SPENT 21.5 HOURS ON MOON9

Rosetta Mission2 March 2004Detailed study ofcomet 67POn 12 November 2014 the mission performed the first successful landing on a comet

LAUNCHED BY EUROPEAN SPACE AGENCY

TWO ASTEROID FLYBY MISSIONS ON ITS WAY TO THE COMET.

THE MISSION CONTINUES TO RETURN DATA FROM THE COMET'S SURFACE.

WILL STAY THERE FOR 17 MONTHS.10

Mars Curiosity RoverNovember 26, 2011Provided detailed study of planet Mars

CAR-SIZED ROBOTIC ROVER.

9TH ATTEMPT TO LAND ON MARS

INVESTIGATING CLIMATE, GEOLOGY, ENVOIRNMENTAL CONDITIONS, POSSIBILITY OF MICROBIAL LIFE

DRILLED INTO THE SURFACE

FOUND WATER FLOWING EVIDENCE

ISS20 November 1998Serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory

CAN BE SEEN FROM NAKED EYE

BIG AS A HOCKEY STADIUM

ORBITTING AT 7.6 KMS (8 TIMES FASTER THAN BULLET)

ORBITS EARTH IN 90 MIN

ZERO GRAVITY LAB

MOST EXPENSIVE $150 BILLION12

Hubble Space TelescopeApril 24, 1990Captures extremely high-resolution imagesLargest and most versatile telescope

NEAR EARTH ORBIT

RECORDED SOME OF THE MOST DETAILED VISIBLE-LIGHT IMAGES EVER.

LEAD TO BREAKTHROUGHS LIKE MEASURING THE EXPANSION SPEED OF THE UNIVERSE. 1019kmH

LARGE LENS, CAPTURES MORE LIGHT.

ONLY TELESCOPE DESIGNED TO BE SERVICED IN SPACE BY ASTRONAUTS.13

Distant Galaxies

WE DETECT THINGS FROM LIGHT THAT IS COMING.15

Earth-like planets

KEPLER-186F.

500 LIGHT-YEARS FROM EARTH.

SPACE EXPLORATION IS NOT JUST TO LEAVE THIS PLANET BUT TO FIND CURE IN THE GIGANTIC SPACE.16

Black Holes

THEY ARE TRANSPARENT.

EXHIBITING STRONG GRAVITATIONAL EFFECTS.

RESEMBLES IDEAL BLACK BODY

STILL A MYSTERY

THERE IS BLACK HOLE IN CENTRE OF EVERY GALAXY

WHEN LARGE STAR DYES (RUNS OUT OF NUCLEAR FUEL) THEN ITS GRAVITY OVERCOMES AND IT BECOMES A BLACK HOLE

SMALL STARS TURNS WHITE DWARF UPON DYING

BLACK HOLES ARE ONLY DANGEROUS IF YOU GET TOO CLOSE.17

www.iub.edu.pk18

Warm Holes

NOT PROVED YET

A THEORY HAVENT PROVED IT YET BUT INDICATIONS POINT TO IYS POSSIBILITY18

ON EARTH, GRAVITY WORKS AGAINST OUR MUSCLES AND BONES EVERY TIME WE MOVE.THIS REQUIRES OUR BODIES TO MAINTAIN ENOUGH MUSCLE AND BONE MASS TO SUPPORT OUR OWN WEIGHT.27
