Interstellar Mission

An interstellar mission refers to a space expedition aimed at exploring planets or objects beyond our solar system, typically beyond the orbit of Pluto. Given the vast distances involved—light takes years to travel from one star to another—such missions are incredibly challenging and require advanced technology. Current concepts include sending robotic probes or even generational spacecraft capable of carrying humans. These missions aim to gather data about exoplanets, potential alien life, and the fundamental nature of the universe, expanding our understanding of existence beyond Earth.
