Local concentrations of matter have condensed into <a href="/wiki/Star" title="Star">stars</a> and <a href="/wiki/Galaxy" title="Galaxy">galaxies</a>. Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the <a href="/wiki/Universe" title="Universe">universe</a>, but even galaxies and <a href="/wiki/Star_system" title="Star system">star systems</a> consist almost entirely of empty space. Most of the remaining <a href="/wiki/Mass%E2%80%93energy_equivalence" title="Mass–energy equivalence">mass-energy</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Observable_universe" title="Observable universe">observable universe</a> is made up of an unknown form, dubbed <a href="/wiki/Dark_matter" title="Dark matter">dark matter</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dark_energy" title="Dark energy">dark energy</a>. </p><p>Outer space does not begin at a definite altitude above Earth's surface. The <a href="/wiki/K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_line" title="Kármán line">Kármán line</a>, an altitude of 100 km (62 mi) above <a href="/wiki/Sea_level" title="Sea level">sea level</a>, is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping. Certain portions of the upper <a href="/wiki/Stratosphere" title="Stratosphere">stratosphere</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Mesosphere" title="Mesosphere">mesosphere</a> are sometimes referred to as "near space". The framework for international <a href="/wiki/Space_law" title="Space law">space law</a> was established by the <a href="/wiki/Outer_Space_Treaty" title="Outer Space Treaty">Outer Space Treaty</a>, which entered into force on 10 October 1967. This treaty precludes any claims of <a href="/wiki/National_sovereignty" class="mw-redirect" title="National sovereignty">national sovereignty</a> and permits all states to freely <a href="/wiki/Space_exploration" title="Space exploration">explore outer space</a>. Despite the drafting of <a href="/wiki/UN_resolution" class="mw-redirect" title="UN resolution">UN resolutions</a> for the peaceful uses of outer space, <a href="/wiki/Anti-satellite_weapon" title="Anti-satellite weapon">anti-satellite weapons</a> have been tested in <a href="/wiki/Geocentric_orbit" title="Geocentric orbit">Earth orbit</a>. </p><p>The concept that the space between the Earth and the Moon must be a vacuum was first proposed in the 17th century after scientists discovered that <a href="/wiki/Air_pressure" class="mw-redirect" title="Air pressure">air pressure</a> decreased with altitude. The immense scale of outer space was grasped in the 20th century when the distance to the <a href="/wiki/Andromeda_Galaxy" title="Andromeda Galaxy">Andromeda Galaxy</a> was first measured. Humans began the physical exploration of space later in the same century with the advent of high-altitude <a href="/wiki/Balloon_(aircraft)" class="mw-redirect" title="Balloon (aircraft)">balloon flights</a>. This was followed by crewed <a href="/wiki/Rocket_launch" class="mw-redirect" title="Rocket launch">rocket flights</a> and, then, crewed Earth orbit, first achieved by <a href="/wiki/Yuri_Gagarin" title="Yuri Gagarin">Yuri Gagarin</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Soviet_Union" title="Soviet Union">Soviet Union</a> in 1961. The economic cost of putting objects, including humans, into space is very high, limiting human <a href="/wiki/Spaceflight" title="Spaceflight">spaceflight</a> to <a href="/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit" title="Low Earth orbit">low Earth orbit</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Moon" title="Moon">Moon</a>. On the other hand, <a href="/wiki/Uncrewed_spacecraft" title="Uncrewed spacecraft">uncrewed spacecraft</a> have reached all of the known <a href="/wiki/Planet" title="Planet">planets</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Solar_System" title="Solar System">Solar System</a>. Outer space represents a challenging environment for <a href="/wiki/Exploration" title="Exploration">human exploration</a> because of the hazards of <a href="/wiki/Vacuum" title="Vacuum">vacuum</a> and <a href="/wiki/Radiation" title="Radiation">radiation</a>. <a href="/wiki/Microgravity" class="mw-redirect" title="Microgravity">Microgravity</a> has a negative effect on human <a href="/wiki/Physiology" title="Physiology">physiology</a> that causes both <a href="/wiki/Muscle_atrophy" title="Muscle atrophy">muscle atrophy</a> and <a href="/wiki/Spaceflight_osteopenia" title="Spaceflight osteopenia">bone loss</a>.

Cassini imaging team leader and planetary scientist Carolyn Porco called for all the world's people to reflect on humanity's place in the cosmos, to marvel at life on Earth, and to look up and smile in celebration. The final mosaic, shown here, was released four months later and includes planets Earth, Mars, and Venus, and a host of Saturnian moons.
