interstellar exploration
Journeying between suns
Interstellar exploration is travel or investigation beyond our solar system, into the space between stars.
The term appears mostly in science fiction and theoretical discussions of future space programs, since no spacecraft has yet reached another star system.
Interstellar exploration remains centuries away with current technology.
The distances involved—measured in light-years—make it humanity's most ambitious conceivable undertaking.
