Launch of Sputnik 1957: The Soviet Union launched a satellite into space named Sputnik 1. This marked the beginning of space exploration. It was a very simple device that took measurements of the upper layer of the atmosphere and sent information by radio signals down to the planet. It orbited every hour-and-a-half before it re-entered the atmosphere and burned up 3 months after launch.

1990: The Hubble Telescope was launched Hubble was placed outside our atmosphere to avoid atmospheric interference in the images it captured.
Hubble Telescope The Hubble telescope has allowed us to see beyond our solar system and further into the Universe

Cat's Eye Nebula: Dying star where gases are being released at 1500 year intervals (looking into the past)
2004: Technology like the Mars Rovers of 2004 have discovered hints to past Technology like the Mars Rovers have allowed us to make discoveries that indicate that there was once flowing water on Mars
