Solar Sail

COSMIC MESSAGE

Johannes Kepler observed comet tails blown by solar wind, suggesting the possibility of solar sails for space travel. Sunlight indeed produces a force that can propel objects through space. A large, reflective sail could harness this force for spacecraft propulsion. This concept is being explored for future interstellar probes.
