Yellowstone National Park was established on March 1, 1872, as the world's first national park, a designation that set a global precedent for the preservation of natural landscapes.

The park occupies a high plateau in the western United States, primarily within the state of Wyoming.

Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object from Earth. The spacecraft was launched on September 5, 1977, from Cape Canaveral on a Titan IIIE-Centaur rocket. It is one of two spacecraft in the Voyager program, and Voyager 2 launched before Voyager 1. The mission was designed to explore the outer planets, taking advantage of a rare alignment known as the Grand Tour that allowed a spacecraft to visit them all.
