Through telescopes. We have more ground based telescopes than we have instruments in space, though we have also learned a great deal through some space missions, such as through the COBE & WMAP satellites.
Optical telescopes provide a wealth of information, but we can see further using radiotelescopes, and we can penetrate deeper through clouds of interstellar gas with infrared telescopes.

With our current technology, this can only be done within the Solar System.

Where is the center of universe located and how far is it from solar system?
It seems that the Universe has no center. It is generally believed that the Universe looks roughly the same way wherever you are; wherever you are, it looks as if you are at the center.
How do most scientists hypothesize that the solar system formed?
Some think it formed from a star which was produced by the Big Bang theory. Then astroids formed planets. That's the simple version.additional. The age of the Universe is about 14x109 years.The age of the Solar system is 4.5x109 years.The elements in the Earth greater than iron, need the energy of a super nova to manufacture them.So our Solar system is possibly the end product of a super nova.So you were once a part of a nova!
Which is a method that scientists use to determine the composition of Earth's layers?
Shooting seismic waves into the planet
What are solar houses without special equipment to collect sunlight?
passive house
what Scientists have explored only a small portion of space. What evidence is there that gravity exists outside of what they have explored?
Gravity is the force that holds our Solar System together. It allows planets and moons to keep their elliptical orbits around the Sun. Even though humans have explored only a small portion of space, we know that our Solar System orbits the center of the much larger Milky Way galaxy. Without gravity, our Solar System would not be able to maintain this orbit.
Who said that the Sun is the center of solar system or universe?
Scientists
What is bigger the universe or the solar system?
The definition of "universe" is "everything". That includes the solar system Since the solar system is a part of the universe, and since there is other stuff in addition to the solar system, and since there is nothing more in addition to the universe, we can see that the universe is bigger than the solar system.
What statement best describes the age of your solar system and the universe?
The Universe is at least twice as old as the Solar System
Which is the smallest universe galaxy solar system?
`Solar system` is the smallest. then `Galaxy`, then `Universe` is the largest.
Which one is the biggest universe in the solar system?
There is no such thing. The Universe is much bigger than the Solar System - and there is only one Universe, at least only one that we know of.
What solar system placed the solar system at the center of the universe?
None.
What is the order smallest to largest universe planet galxay solar system?
Planet Solar System Galaxy Universe
What is the largest Universe the sun Milky Way galaxy Solar system or the earth?
Universe >> Milky Way galaxy >> Solar System > Sun >> Earth
What order do these go in Galaxy Universe Solar System Planet Star Nebula Largest to smallest?
Universe, galaxy,nebula,solar system, star, planet
Are planets in the universe or galaxy or solar system?
They are in all three. Planets are in solar systems. There are lots of solar systems in a galaxy. There are lots of galaxies in the universe. So any planet is in a solar system, a galaxy and the universe.
How does gravity affects your solar system or universe?
Without gravity in our solar sytem and our universe everthing would float and it would affect our orbit in the solar system
What is bigger a galaxy the universe or the solar system?
the universe is bigger
