Explorations this time tells the story of our place in space.

Our desire to explore space began with our eyes. The more we saw, the more it fired our ambitions. Experimenting with lenses in his native Florence, Italian Galileo Galilei developed a powerful telescope. Suddenly, planets like Jupiter and its moons, 400 million miles away were at our fingertips We discovered the universe was greater than we'd ever imagined. Our sense of place in the cosmos changed forever as telescopes exposed the universe's most amazing secrets. Now, with the space telescope Hubble we can see almost 200 trillion times further than Galileo's first telescope. And that has made us ask new questions.
