Explore the Universe
From the formation of stars and galaxies to the search for distant planets and the possibility of future human settlements beyond Earth, the Universe presents extraordinary opportunities for discovery. SPACE 1 aims to make these subjects engaging through educational content, interactive experiences and learning programmes grounded in scientific evidence.
The Moon
384,400 km away and the next destination for human exploration.
Mars
A day lasts 24 hours 37 minutes; Olympus Mons rises about 22 km.
Giant planets and rings
Saturn’s rings span roughly 280,000 km but are often only metres thick.
Exoplanets
Thousands of confirmed worlds, from lava planets to temperate ones.
Black holes
Gravity so strong that not even light can escape.
Galaxies
The Milky Way holds hundreds of billions of stars.
