Explore the Galaxy
Our Milky Way Galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies in the universe. Within it, there are at least 100 billion stars, and on average, each star has at least one planet orbiting it. This means there are potentially thousands of planetary systems like our solar system within the galaxy!
Explore the Universe
Out of the Milky Way and into the Universe.
The Milky Way Galaxy is only one out of a total of about 100 to 200 billion galaxies that astronomers estimate to be in the Universe. That’s more than 10 times the total number of people on Earth.

Mercury
The smallest planet in our solar system and closest to the Sun—is only slightly larger than Earth’s Moon. Mercury is the fastest planet, zipping around the Sun every 88 Earth days.
Venus
Earth
Our home planet—is the only place we know of so far that’s inhabited by living things. It’s also the only planet in our solar system with liquid water on the surface.
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Seventh planet from the Sun—rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt makes Uranus appear to spin on its side.
Neptune
The eighth and most distant major planet orbiting our Sun. It was the first planet located through mathematical calculations, rather than by telescope.
