In 2022, Earth dwellers passed milestone after milestone in space exploration in a flurry of scientific activity that has felt, to many, like a rekindling of the Apollo era.

We launched an exploratory rocket straight into the green clouds of pulsating auroras, sent a mission to the moon for the first time since 1972, and retrieved stunning images from the James Webb Space Telescope.

It may seem hard to imagine that we can mine the secrets of this vast universe. But with every new eye trained on the sky, we come closer.
