Question by Sammi M: Is technology advanced enough yet to send a satellite beyond the sun? Read on...?
I know it's a dumb question, but I've always been extremely interested in Astronomy (planets, space, stars, etc) and I've always wondered if there will ever be a day when we can send a satellite that can take pictures of whats on the other side of the sun. Has anyone ever wondered if maybe there are other planets on the other side of the sun that we don't know about because we can't get there? What if there was one like earth? I know the sun is EXTREMELY massive, but would there be any way around it's rays to the other side? I see pictures like this:

And I wonder, what if a satellite could maybe "orbit" or whatever as far away from the rays as possible and try to get to the other side? I'm letting my mind wonder, but what are your opinions?
I mean, anything's possible, right? LOL


Best answer:
Answer by John............... yes. and no there's no other "planet" behind the sun, every planet revolves around the sun. We now have a voyager spacecraft that is on the edge of the solar system, many A.U. away.
