Astronomy Top 100

The Quest. Man’s calling. It could be a simple as opening the door to a strange room. It could be as complicated as unlocking the key to a new science. In either case, the urge impels us all to take that first step into unchartered territory. Sure, some of us would rather give others the initial chance. There comes a point, however, when human nature eggs us on to follow pioneers into a new land of innovation and invention.

That’s when we undertake The Quest.


The Quest. To discover the undiscovered. To explore the unexplored. To know the unknown.


Why have the objects in the night sky so enthralled mankind? Over the centuries, the stuff of astronomy has provided everything from a means to navigate to the perfect romantic setting. Yet from the beginning of history, astronomy brought to our species a more important quality.
