Plan 9 from Outer Space (originally titled Grave Robbers from Outer Space) is a 1959 American independent black and white science fiction-horror film, written, produced, directed, and edited by Ed Wood, that stars Gregory Walcott, Mona McKinnon, Tor Johnson, and Vampira.
 The film also posthumously bills Bela Lugosi as a star (silent footage of the actor had actually been shot by Wood for another, unfinished film just prior to Lugosi's death in August 1956).
 "Plan 9 from Outer Space" was released theatrically in 1959 by Distributors Corporation of America (as Valiant Pictures).
It Came from Outer Space!
 is the first full-length album released by the Christian rock band Dweeb.
 Dweeb were an indie band from Coventry, UK, from 2002 – 2011.
 It Came from Outer Space!
 was released in 2007 by Risen Records; the label's ninth CD release.
 The band was made up of Tim Alford, Matt Donald, 'The Badgerman' and Dave Ashworth.
The militarisation of space is the placement and development of weaponry and military technology in outer space.
 The early exploration of space in the mid-20th century had, in part, a military motivation, as the United States and the Soviet Union used it as an opportunity to demonstrate ballistic missile technology and other technologies having the potential for military application.
 Outer space has since been used as an operating location for military spacecraft such as imaging and communications satellites, and some ballistic missiles pass through outer space during their flight.
 As yet, however, weapons have not been stationed in space, with the exception of the Almaz space station and small handguns carried by Russian cosmonauts (for post-landing, pre-recovery use).
Space law encompasses national and international law governing activities in outer space.
 International lawyers have been unable to agree on a uniform definition of the term "outer space", although most lawyers agree that outer space generally begins at the lowest altitude above sea level at which objects can orbit the Earth, approximately 100 km (the Kármán line).
The Cat from Outer Space is a 1978 American science fiction comedy film starring Ronnie Schell, Ken Berry, Sandy Duncan, Harry Morgan, Roddy McDowall and McLean Stevenson.
The Agreement on the Rescue of Astronauts, the Return of Astronauts and the Return of Objects Launched into Outer Space, also referred to as the Rescue Agreement is an international agreement setting forth rights and obligations of states concerning the rescue of persons in space.
 The Agreement was created by a 19 December 1967 consensus vote in the United Nations General Assembly (Resolution 2345 (XXII)).
 It came into force on 3 December 1968.
 Its provisions elaborate on the rescue provisions in Article V of the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.
 Despite containing more specificity and detail than the rescue provision in Article V of the Outer Space Treaty, the Rescue Agreement still suffers from vague drafting and the possibility of differing interpretation.
Outer space, or just space, is the void that exists between celestial bodies, including Earth.
 It is not completely empty, but consists of 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, as set by the background radiation from the Big Bang, is 2.7 kelvins (K) (−270.45 °C; −454.81 °F).
 Plasma with a number density of less than one hydrogen atom per cubic metre and a temperature of millions of kelvins in the space between galaxies accounts for most of the baryonic (ordinary) matter in outer space; local concentrations have condensed into stars and galaxies.
 In most galaxies, observations provide evidence that 90% of the mass is in an unknown form, called dark matter, which interacts with other matter through gravitational but not electromagnetic forces. Data indicates that the majority of the mass-energy in the observable universe is a poorly understood vacuum energy of space which astronomers label dark energy.
 Intergalactic space takes up most of the volume of the Universe, but even galaxies and star systems consist almost entirely of empty space.
In the mathematical subject of geometric group theory, the Culler–Vogtmann Outer space or just Outer space of a free group "F" is a topological space consisting of the so-called "marked metric graph structures" of volume 1 on "F".
 The Outer space, denoted "X" or "CV", comes equipped with a natural action of the group of outer automorphisms Out("F") of "F".
 The Outer space was introduced in a 1986 paper, of Marc Culler and Karen Vogtmann and it serves as a free group analog of the Teichmüller space of a hyperbolic surface.
 Outer space is used to study homology and cohomology groups of Out("F") and to obtain information about algebraic, geometric and dynamical properties of Out("F"), of its subgroups and individual outer automorphisms of "F".
 The space "X" can also be thought of as the set of "F"-equivariant isometry types of minimal free discrete isometric actions of "F" on "F" on R-trees "T" such that the quotient metric graph "T"/"F" has volume 1.
Space research is scientific studies carried out using scientific equipment in outer space.
 It includes the use of space technology for a broad spectrum of research disciplines, including Earth science, materials science, biology, medicine, and physics.
 The term includes scientific payloads everywhere from deep space to low Earth orbit, and is frequently defined to include research in the upper atmosphere using sounding rockets and high-altitude balloons. Space science and space exploration involve the study of outer space itself, which is only part of the broader field of space research.

Hercules is a 1997 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation for Walt Disney Pictures.
 The 35th Disney animated feature film, the film was directed by Ron Clements and John Musker.
 The film is loosely based on the legendary hero Heracles (known in the film by his Roman name, Hercules), the son of Zeus, in Greek mythology.
 The film also featured the first positive portrayal of African American women in a Disney animated film.
