The United Nations acknowledges that outer space offers significant benefits and is of common interest to all humanity. Through space exploration, we have made progress in many areas, including communication, navigation, and weather forecasting. The ongoing efforts of space scientists have also led to the detection of potentially dangerous objects in our solar system and approaching our planet, helping us better prepare for potential threats from space. Additionally, advancements in outer space technologies have made it possible to capture the first image of a black hole.
