Andromeda Galaxy:
On September 2, 2009, a NASA satellite took a picture of a new galaxy. It was called Andromeda after the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey. It is the largest in the local group of galaxies, including the Milky Way. Searches have started to find and see if there is life on this newly found galaxy.

Apollo Missions:
The Apollo program started off as an Earth orbiting program. It launched its first rocket that ended horribly with the death of 3 astronauts. It decided to launch satellites with no crew on them until Apollo 7 with launched and made it back with a success. After Apollo 7, they began to start a new discovery revolution. They were the ones who successfully orbited the moon. They continued to do this from Apollo 8-Apollo 17 (not including Apollo 9).

Titan:
The largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the solar system, Titan is very similar to Earth. Not only that, it is much bigger than Mercury and Pluto plus it is much denser than Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Pluto. It has water and could warm up to sustain life like us. The only problem is Titan has an impenetrable atmosphere. It's impossible for us to get to the surface.

Worm Holes:
In physics, a wormhole is a hypothetical ''shortcut'' through space and time. Spacetime can be viewed as a 2D surface, when ''fold that are connected to a single throat or tube. The wormhole is said to have to "mouths." If the wormhole is traversable, then matter can ''travel'' from one mouth to the other by passing through the "throat". While there is no real evidence for wormholes, spacetimes containing wormholes are known to be valid solutions in general relativity.


Ultimate fate of the universe:
The universe needs dark matter and dark energy to keep expanding. It is said that the dark energy levels will rise causing accelerated expansion. The universe will keep expanding until it possibly collapses into itself.
