Cast your vote for the Best of 2026!

Hi John,

The seasons have decidedly shifted, and the end of the year is approaching. Here at The Planetary Society, that means it’s time to choose the highlights from the last year in space science and exploration.

Our Best of 2026 campaign invites you to vote for your favorite space images, exploration milestones, and more. From sending humans farther into space than ever before to launching new missions to explore the worlds of the Solar System, there are a lot of great milestones to reflect on this year. What were the stand-outs for you?

Voting is open throughout November, and we’ll reveal the winners in early December.

Happy voting,

Kate Howells
