Mars
Is the red planet. It has the biggest mouton in space. Mars has been known since prehistoric times.The first spacecraft to visit Mars was Mariner 4 in 1965. Several others followed including Mars 2, the first spacecraft to land on Mars and the two Viking landers in 1976.

Black holes
Black holes are the evolutionary endpoints of stars at least 10 to 15 times as massive as the Sun.Most black holes are formed from the death of large stars (larger than the sun) that run out of fuel and cannot sustain its nuclear reaction.

Dwarf Planets
Though there are just five dwarf planets now, their number is expected to grow.Scientists estimate there may be 70 dwarf planets amongst outer solar system objects that have been discovered already.

Kuiper Belt
The Kuiper Belt is a bit like the asteroid belt, but much farther from the Sun.The planet Pluto is also a Kuiper Belt Object. Starting in 1992, astronomers have become aware of a vast population of small bodies orbiting the sun beyond Neptune.


Worm holes
A hypothetical "tunnel" connecting two different points in spacetime in such a way that a trip through the wormhole could take much less time than a journey between the same starting and ending points in normal space.
