“That is a big question we all have: are we alone in the universe? And exoplanets confirm the suspicion that planets are not rare.” - Neil deGrasse Tyson
Goal: Make exoplanet discoveries accessible
As humanity moves towards a new era of space travel we look towards exoplanets. We will traverse beyond the confines of our solar system and galaxy in hopes of finding habitable planets like Earth.
End of Beginning aims to make these discoveries surrounding exoplanets in the far corners of our universe available to everyone!
Why End of Beginning?
End of Beginning symbolizes the end of humanity's early space exploration, confined to our solar system. It marks the start of a new chapter, where we venture into the unknown in search of habitable exoplanets—ushering in an exciting journey toward understanding distant worlds and potentially discovering new homes for future generations.
