Aliens are a cosmic mystery, as are the Roswell files. We may never know the whole truth - but NASA is developing new technology, and our space photos are rapidly improving. We've had the Hubble Telescope and whizzing satellites for a while. We've seen hints from Mars robot missions. There are now fancy new cameras as well as the James Webb Space Telescope. NASA is releasing breathtaking images from these missions, and they are changing the way scientists think about space. We can easily see supernova debris, gleaming galaxies, and the details of our solar system. The ancients used to stare at the night sky, but you don't have to squint anymore. See our universe like you've never seen it before: to infinity and beyond
