On March 2, 1972, the US space probe is successfully launched into space. It would become the first to successfully traverse the asteroid belt and reach Jupiter.

March brings with it spring in the Northern Hemisphere and plenty of movement between the Moon, planets, and constellations visible in the night sky.

This is a new type of thermonuclear explosion that we may never see again. At least not in this millennium.

Thanks to science our understanding of the world around us has advanced, but how has our image of the universe changed?
