The Lunar Laser Ranging RetroReflector • finally • showed us how far we are from the moon in 1969. • In 1986, it was the humble, rubber O-ring • that doomed the space shuttle Challenger • . • The Event Horizon Telescope • gave us our first glimpse of a black hole in 2019. These 100 objects showcase the workhorse tools and game-changing technologies that have altered the course of space history—and the small steps and giant leaps we’ve made in our quest to explore the farthest reaches of the universe.
