Outer Space is where the impossible happens.

Since the beginning, only a staggering 4 percent of the total universe has been explored by the human race (the possibilities are endless), and with the recent developments in the space industry, the world might be eager for another space race.

Private companies are leading the way and governments are teaming up to conquer the world above us. It's not a matter of if, but when, do we finally get to explore the remaining 96 percent?

This list proves that you can't count out extraterrestrial life from the equation. Space is a big question mark and the further you go, the crazier it gets. From solar flares that can destroy the entire Milky Way, to alien-like artifacts, join us as we count down 20 images of things we can only find in space.

20 Solar Storm VS Earth

Our planet is just a teeny weeny dot when compared to the Sun. The image captured above by NASA shows how a solar flare can kill our beloved planet in just one bite. The sun can fire these flares without warning, and it takes just days to reach the Earth. A MAJOR one hasn't hit the Earth yet since 1859. If it were to happen, everything from your cell phone to the International Space Station would lose power.

19 Best Place To See The Northern Lights (From The ISS)

The ISS has the best seats for the Aurora Borealis light show. According to Mike Hopkins, an astronaut aboard the ISS, "the pic doesn't do northern lights justice." If only we could get to view the dancing neon lights ourselves, we would grab the chance. The Northern Lights are caused by collisions of Earth's gas particles with the Sun's.

18 Space-grown Trees

This lonely, floating bonsai watches over Earth and is only one of the creative projects of Azuma Makoto. Azuma aims to create an "exobiotanica" garden on the edge of Earth's atmosphere. Since 2014, he has worked with space agencies to launch orchids, trees and other plant species for his various art pieces. Space junk? Maybe not.

17 Two Galaxies Collide

According to NASA, the Milky Way and Andromeda Galaxies are set to collide in a similar fashion as the photo taken about 230 million light-years away. It shows two parallel universes (merged into one: NGC 6052). We might have to expect some fancy space war to happen when the Milky Way and Andromeda merge 4 billion years from now.

16 Astronaut Drifts Away Into The Final Frontier

Captured above is astronaut Bruce McCandless trying out his new gadget: the Manned Maneuvering Unit. He served as the jetpack's first test pilot, unafraid of hovering a few meters from his craft and the only thing protecting him from doom is the pack's seat belt. Fortunately, the test proved successful and the suit is currently on display at NASA's Johnson Space Center.

15 Odd Martian Sand Dunes

The sand on Martian deserts moves a little weirdly (like water). According to Space.com, there isn't enough wind energy on Mars to move stuff around so the movement might be attributed to otherworldly factors that even geologists here on Earth wouldn't be able to answer, for now. It might be caused by elevation and temperature changes though, NASA reports, as they're currently investigating the Martian dunes.

14 Hold On For Dear Life

There are plenty of things that could go wrong in this photo. First of all, this is the first-ever US spacewalk conducted by Ed White during the Gemini 4 Mission. He encountered a minor problem (White had run out of fuel for his oxygen jet-gun in the last three minutes), but was able to pull himself up to the pod. The entire mission lasted 23 minutes, probably the longest 23 minutes of his life.

13 Martian Fish Fossil

NASA's Mars Rover broke the internet when it brought back images of odd shapes from the surface prompting many conspiracy theorists to draw up conclusions (uh oh). The image above shows a fish-shaped fossil. Could this be evidence of an ocean that once existed on the red planet?

12 Jupiter's Toxic Cloud

Jupiter is like an abstract painting. A killer abstract painting though, and these colorful streaks are actually violent storms. Jupiter's most famous Great Red Spot is the biggest one with a diameter that measures about 1.3 times the size of the Earth. The Earth is just peanuts when compared to Jupiter.

11 Lagoon Nebula: Beautiful But Deadly

No this is not a computer-generated piece. It was actually taken by the Hubble telescope. The star in the middle is 200,000 times brighter, as reported by HubbleSite, and is responsible for the whole occurrence, a colorful mixture of gases and particles known as a Nebula. The whole region is a deadly burst of radiation and solar flux, enough to kill an entire planet.

10 The New Earth: TOI 700D

NASA's TEST Planet Hunter has discovered its first planet (named TOI 700D) in a habitable zone from its host star. The new planet is similar to Earth in terms of size and mass, with the planet having a radius 1.19 times the Earth and weighing almost double. The recent discoveries of exoplanets have fueled speculation of alien life among UFO hunters and theorists.

9 Space's Only Cleanup Program: RemoveDebris

The REMOVEDebris is an experimental project by Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd designed to test and showcase different methods of space junk removal. Only 4 methods have been tested so far including a net, harpoon and a drag sail. The spacecraft was launched alongside the SpaceX Dragon.

8 Hyperion: Weirdest Moon In The Entire Universe?

This looks like the very same asteroid that almost killed Superman. And just when you thought that moons are shaped perfectly circular, think again. Pictured above is one of Saturn's 82 unique moons, Hyperion. It is the first irregularly-shaped moon to be discovered and is actually not 100% rock solid. Its surface is made mostly of water and ice and looks like a humongous sponge.

7 Mimas: The Real-life Death Star

Also one of Saturn's moons, Mimas, probably hides a superweapon and is affiliated with the Galactic Empire. Just take a look at the huge impact crater. In actuality, Mimas is the smallest rounded astronomical body to exist (with a diameter of 246 miles). The distinctive impact crater is also just a little bit larger than Australia.

6 Proof Of Martian Life (A Spoon?)

Another artifact was found on the red planet. Could this be proof that Martians invented spoons before the humans did? Probably not. This "spoon" is just part of a rock formation and is more of an optical illusion by the way the photo was taken. "There is no spoon" as stated in a NASA report.

5 Starman's Final Transmission

Starman (a mannequin) was in the driver seat of Elon Musk's Tesla Roadster when it launched into orbit in 2018 and has since racked up countless miles in Space and has gone where no car has ever been. As of August 2019, it has completed its first orbit around the sun and Elon plans to bring another vehicle to catch up with the roadster.

4 Alien Substance Found On The Moon

This is another one is for conspiracy theorists: China's rover found traces of a colorful substance on the dark side of the moon as it navigated during a mission. The material was said to be "glass-like" and scientists concluded that it could've possibly been from meteors crashing down onto the lunar surface.

3 Feeling Helpless (While Watching A Super Typhoon Ravage Earth)

Not only you can find breathtaking views of nature atop the Space Station but you can also get the front row seats to some of the biggest disasters. Captured above is the Super Typhoon Maysak heading towards Micronesia. As an astronaut, you'd feel a little guilty whilst floating comfortably on top of the ISS.

2 Venus' Gassy Surface

These are the only photos Venera 13 captured before giving in to the immense pressure (over 100 times stronger than the Earth) and getting crushed by the dense atmosphere. Since then, no lander has come close and future missions have been planned but none have ever come to fruition.

1 Last Known Photos Of Cassini Before Plunging Into Saturn

Cassini's voyage left us with more questions than answers, and these two images were farewell gifts. It was one of NASA's most ambitious missions but had to come to an end when it plunged into the ringed planet in 2017. Space is the final frontier and we have to accept that we can't explore its entirety... yet.
