NASA released a stunning, massive image from the Hubble space telescope of the Triangulum Galaxy, which is 3 million light years from our own Milky Way Galaxy.

The New Horizons mission, which yielded the first close-up photos of Pluto, provided enough data for scientists to make the determination that it's likely the number of galaxies is in the hundreds of billions, rather than 2 trillion, as initially believed. .

"We simply don't see the light from 2 trillion galaxies."?

By traveling beyond the inner solar system and its accompanying light pollution, New Horizons was able to answer the question: How dark is space.

Traveling at roughly 33,000 miles per hour, the $720 million New Horizons spacecraft, which launched in January 2006, will eventually reach interstellar space, like the Voyager probes before it.

The New Horizons spacecraft is now 4.4 billion miles from Earth

The New Horizons spacecraft has made a number of discoveries in recent memory, including the object Arrokoth, previously known as Ultima Thule
