Travel through our Universe to the Milky Way Galaxy as you take a journey back in time to see our solar system form from a great cloud of dust and gas. Learn how our Earth and nearby planets were created and how they became how they are today. Hear the latest news from NASA as we explore each planet up close. After we explore the outer reaches of our solar system, we will travel to other systems and worlds in our galaxy.
