Space: the final frontier – never were truer words spoken. We have currently explored less than 0.01% of the universe; in fact, it's much less than that. We've actually explored about as close to zero percent as it's possible to get. With so much left to discover, space is likely to remain a mystery for quite some time. But with the support of technological advances, scientists are making real progress, particularly when it comes to what planetary scientists regard as remainders from the 'building blocks of the solar system' – comets.
