No doubt, Hubble still dominates with its presence in the outer space but Mars rovers and ISS have also thrilled us with images out of this world. With all these space shuttles and satellites orbiting the extremes of our solar system staring at the heavenly bodies have become more of an art along with science.
Here’s your chance to be an astronaut with images and information from the past space exploration and astronomical discovery. In several ways, 2006 was a year in which space came down to Earth. Let’s see what were the events that occurred during this last circuit of the Sun.

5) Aantennae galaxy-
7) The First STS-116 Spacewalk -
So, this was the year 2006 in space. While searching for the images I realized that a year is a long time. Now 2006 says good bye giving some beautiful moments to treasure in our memories. In 2007 we’ll see more astronomy missions and surely more part of the hidden universe with more telescopes built. But that’s a long year to follow, lets wait and see what’s there in the universe for us in the year 2007.
