Outer space
Outer space, or simply space, is the expanse that exists beyond the Earth and between celestial bodies.
Outer space is not completely empty—it is a hard vacuum containing a low density of particles, predominantly a plasma of hydrogen and helium, as well as electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, neutrinos, dust, and cosmic rays.
The baseline temperature of outer space, as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is.
The plasma between galaxies accounts for about half of the baryonic( ordinary) matter in the universe; it has a number density of less than one hydrogen atom per cubic metre and a temperature of millions of kelvins.
Local concentrations of matter have condensed into stars and galaxies.
Studies indicate that 90% of the mass in most galaxies is in an unknown form, called dark matter, which interacts with other matter through gravitational but not electromagnetic forces.
Observations suggest that the majority of the mass- energy in the observable universe is" dark energy", a type of vacuum energy that is poorly understood.
Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.
Outer space does not begin at a definite altitude above the Earth's surface.
However, the Kármán line, an altitude of above sea level, is conventionally used as the start of outer space in space treaties and for aerospace records keeping.
The framework for international space law was established by the Outer Space Treaty, which entered into force on 10 October 1967.
This treaty precludes any claims of national sovereignty and permits all states to freely explore outer space.
Despite the drafting of UN resolutions for the peaceful uses of outer space, anti-satellite weapons have been tested in Earth orbit.
Humans began the physical exploration of space during the 20th century with the advent of high- altitude balloon flights.
This was followed by manned rocket flights and, then, manned Earth orbit, first achieved by Yuri Gagarin of the Soviet Union in 1961.
Due to the high cost of getting into space, manned spaceflight has been limited to low Earth orbit and the Moon.
On the other hand, unmanned spacecraft have reached all of the known planets in the Solar System.
Outer space represents a challenging environment for human exploration because of the hazards of vacuum and radiation.
Microgravity also has a negative effect on human physiology that causes both muscle atrophy and bone loss.
In addition to these health and environmental issues, the economic cost of putting objects, including humans, into space is very high.
Queen of Outer Space
Queen of Outer Space is a 1958 American DeLuxe Color science fiction feature film in CinemaScope.
Produced by Ben Schwalb and directed by Edward Bernds, it stars Zsa Zsa Gabor, Eric Fleming, and Laurie Mitchell.
The screenplay by Charles Beaumont, about a revolt against a cruel Venusian queen, is based on an idea supplied by Ben Hecht and originally titled Queen of the Universe.
Upon its release, the film was promoted by Allied Artists and distributed to some locations as part of a double feature with" Frankenstein 1970" starring Boris Karloff.
United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space
The United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space( COPUOS) was established in 1958( shortly after the launch of Sputnik) as an" ad hoc" committee.
In 1959, it was formally established by United Nations resolution 1472( XIV).
The mission of COPUOS is" to review the scope of international cooperation in peaceful uses of outer space, to devise programmes in this field to be undertaken under United Nations auspices, to encourage continued research and the dissemination of information on outer space matters, and to study legal problems arising from the exploration of outer space."
The United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs( UNOOSA) is Secretariat to the Committee.
All documents related to the Committee and its subcommittees, the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee and the Legal Subcommittee, can be found at the UNOOSA website.
The United Nations involvement in space related activities can be traced back to the beginning of the Space Race.
After the first man-made object orbited the Earth in 1957, the UN has focused on ensuring outer space is used for peaceful purposes.
The Launch of Sputnik marked the beginning of the Space Race as well as the beginning of satellite use for the advancement of science.
As the Cold War began, fear of Outer Space being used for military purposes spread through the international community.
This led to the creation of multiple organizations with the intent of governing how outer space can be used in order to assure it does not become the next frontier for conflict.

Luboš Perek
Luboš Perek( born July 26, 1919) is a Czech astronomer best known for his" Catalogue of Galactic Planetary Nebulae" co-written in 1967 with Luboš Kohoutek.
He has worked on the distribution of mass in the galaxy, high- velocity stars, planetary nebulae, definition of outer space, geostationary orbit, space debris, and management of outer space.
Perek graduated from Masaryk University, Brno, in 1946, earned his PhD in Astronomy from Charles University, Prague, in 1956, and earned his DSc in Astronomy in 1961.
He has published 44 papers on stellar dynamics and planetary nebulae and 80 papers and articles on the geostationary orbit, definition of outer space, space debris, protection of space environment.
The asteroid 2900 Luboš Perek, discovered by fellow Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek, was named after him.
