The ancient Egyptians gave us the 24-hour day and the 365-day year, but they did not try like the ancient Greeks to explain in scientific terms how the sun, the planets and the stars moved, or even where they were.
For them, the heavens were the realm of the gods. The sky embodied the balance between order and chaos, between death and rebirth. The god kings lived on Earth and then journeyed to the heavens to reign forever with the imperishable stars.
The Pharaohs imagined that they could travel to the stars. Now five thousand years later, we’ve embarked on the first steps of a journey which may make that dream come true.

Ever wondered about the Seven Wonders?! What were they? How did they come to be? More importantly, why were they, and why do they remain, wonders?
No matter how wondrous they were, except for the Great Pyramid, none of the ancient Seven Wonders remain to the day. It is no wonder then that we turn our eyes from Earth to the skies where the wonders are everlasting…
But the greatest wonder of all may be this tiny blue planet where we start our journey. This planet that may indeed be unique in all the universe, for it is the only place in this vast cosmos where we know life exists… Life that can ponder the mysteries and wonders of our planet and the universe beyond.

Water exists on many of these worlds, but only on Earth did it become the major component of evolving life. But the Sun is just an average star; small, stable, like billions of other stars in the Milky Way galaxy. And our galaxy itself is typical of billions of galaxies in the known universe, each in turn, home to untold billions of stars.
How many other "water planets" orbit just the right distance from their own "average" stars?
The search for life goes on. We listen for a faint echo from some far-off civilization for a signal from an alien world … for signs of another … Oasis in Space.
