The Solar System has its own road network, the Interplanetary Transport Network (ITN), a ser of trajectories related to the Lagrange points.
Since the first worlds were found orbiting other stars in the 1990s, in barely two decades, more than three thousand extrasolar planets have been found.

The gamma-ray radiation represents the most energetic «light» of the electromagnetic spectrum.
In this article, we summarise several of the most well-known astrophysical scenarios, and offer a brief description of what we currently know about them.
