what is outside of space?

Question

if you kept going in a rocketship to outside space without the possibility of it taking 2 million years, would you end up in the same spot that you started out in? or whats outside of our solar system? i dont know?

Answer 1

more space

Answer 2

No you wouldn't end up in the same spot, because the starting point would move. As soon as you took off the starting point moves because space is in motion at all times. Our Sun is moving through space as we speak! Tagging along with it is the planet Earth and it's neighbors. Our solar system is a part of the 'Milky-way Galaxy' which is also moving through space. Destination unknown!Technically, we're a part of an interstellar spaceship so to speak. Recently it was discovered that space goes on for infinity in all directions! You would possibly find extraterrestrial life before you ever saw the end of space. - a thought.

Answer 3

Our solar system is just one of billions in the milky way galaxy. If you left the solar system, eventually you would come to other stars. If you left the milky way you would travel through empty space until you came to another galaxy, the nearest large galaxies being the Andromeda galaxy and the Pinwheel galaxy. The universe is made up of billions and billions of other galaxies like the milky way. There is no end. The universe extends to infinity. Some scientists think there may be other universes created by other "big bangs".

Answer 4

Outside our Solar System
Stars in our Galaxy
Except for the stars, space is even emptier outside the heliosphere than inside since there is no atmosphere from the Sun out there. There is a little bit of gas, a few fast particles (cosmic rays) and some starlight. Our most distant spacecraft, the two Voyagers, have not yet reached the limits of the heliosphere. Thus, everything we know about the outside is remotely sensed. All the stars lie outside the heliosphere. The nearest is about 263,000 AU from the Sun. This is 4.3 light-years, about 24 trillion miles. ( One light-year is equal to the distance light travels in a year. Remember that during each second light travels 186,000 miles, or 300,000 kilometers! So one light-year equals 5.8 trillion miles, or 9.4 trillion kilometers, or 63,400 AU.)

Thanks for an intelligent question. I actually learned something in answering it. Brain-food, love it.

Answer 5

The expansion of the stars and galaxies leads to the expansion of the universe. If you traveled beyond the furthest star, you yourself would be the expansion of the universe.

Einstein felt that the universe was 'rapped up' in itself. If that were true, then if you continued to travel for an indeterminate distance you'd just end up right where you started.

Anyways... the answer every intelligent person should therefore give is, "I don't know," because nobody knows.

Answer 6

Hi,

If you go outside our solar system which also consists of starts you find other starts. The universe is just made up of stars.

Then they give them names like:
Galaxies: A group of starts
Solar system: The starts around our sun

So if you go out you keep on finding starts. I read there is work going on that will provide us with a three dimention model of the universe.

Answer 7

Space expands and when you hit the edge it cracks and becomes something even more complex and far less simple then b4. Read hitch hikers guid to the galaxy... its the most complet guid and best selling book ever written on the subject of space.

Answer 8

In our galaxy we can see that sun is having helium, ie. it is positively charged as proton, and all planets revolve around it as electron- that forms an atom, there should be several other atoms sorrounding our galaxy and will be forming an element connectively and so on...... There are chances that we may found lives on electron of evely elements, if we suceed in creating such a mafnifying microscope...

Answer 9

Honey, we don't even know everything that's in space not to mention anything about what's outside of it. So, I wish I could help you with this one, but sadly I can't. I hope somone can answer it for you.

Answer 10

Space has no air. It consists of dust and never ending "space" beyond. A thrillion and more kilometers ahead. It's free to flow!

Answer 11

there is no outside. space is esentially nothing so even if you passed the barrier at which the universe is expanding u wont even notice cuz there will be more space but no forms of matter just absolute nothing which is what space is.
