Outer space, or simply space, is the expanse that exists beyond Earth's atmosphere and between celestial bodies. It contains ultra-low levels of particle densities, constituting a near-perfect vacuum

…outer space and transmit scientific data back to Earth. Space probes are used to investigate the Moon, planets, moons, asteroids, comets, the Sun, and interstellar space. Unlike artificial satellites, which usually remain in orbit around Earth, probes are sent beyond Earth orbit toward other celestial bodies or into…
Being essentially empty, outer space allows the earliest (redder) galaxies to be viewed without obstruction, as in the Webb's First Deep Field image.
