This year in Earth Space Science we have walked in the footsteps of Edwin Hubble; we have entered the minds of Aristotle, Copernicus, Kepler, Ptolemy, Gailileo and even Lemaitre; we have answered questions about the origin of our universe. We have studied the life cycles of stars and discovered how important our own star is to life on earth. The next step in our journey to understand the universe is to move a little closer to home, a little closer to our star. We'll move inside our spiral Milky Way galaxy, to the Orion Arm, to a place often overlooked: the Solar System. There is much to discover in our own backyard!

 

The intent of this project is to classify every known object in the solar system.
