Most of the action in Star Trek takes place in the real-world Milky Way Galaxy which is roughly divided into four quadrants, named after the first four letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Delta. These are the galactic regions that include significant planets like Vulcan, Qo'noS, and of course, Earth.
The extragalactic nature of the Leondegrance's mission is somewhat called into question by DIS: "The Galactic Barrier", when Admiral Vance says that "(Discovery is) going outside the galaxy. We've never done that." This indicates that as of 3190, Starfleet had not sent any official missions beyond the Milky Way.
Starfleet has explored the outer reaches of the Milky Way, but it's a rare occasion that a starship travels past the galactic barrier. Take a look at a few times Star Trek's brave crews encountered this formidable unknown frontier.
All these series and movies take place in the very same uninterrupted continuity. There is only one timeline. In the correct in-universe chronological order, we have Enterprise (set in the 22nd century), TOS and TOS movies (23rd century) and TNG/DS9/Voyager (24th century).
Sometimes, it is written that Voyager and Pioneers 10 and 11 have exited the solar system. Though all of these spacecraft have gone beyond all the planets of the solar system, they have not exited the solar system, based on the scientific definition. To leave the solar system, they need to pass beyond the Oort Cloud.
No, no has ever gone out of our Milky way galaxy (not sure about Aliens). The Milky Way is about 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 km ( about 100,000 light years or about 30 kpc) across. And we live on Earth in Solar System in Orion Spiral Arm, Milky Way Galaxy.
All of the Television series and the first ten films are all one universe. The three most recent films (the 2009 Star Trek, Into Darkness, and Beyond) take place in an alternate universe.
The franchise is primarily set in the future, ranging from the mid-22nd century (Star Trek: Enterprise) to the late 24th century (Star Trek: Picard), with the third season of Star Trek: Discovery jumping forward to the 32nd century.
While on NBC, Star Trek's Nielsen ratings were low and the network canceled it after three seasons and 79 episodes. In the United Kingdom the series was not broadcast until July 12, 1969, coinciding with the Apollo 11 mission to land the first humans on the Moon.
In Star Trek: Enterprise, Starfleet is just an Earth organization. In every other Star Trek show, Starfleet is the exploratory and defense arm of the United Federation of Planets.
Because Humans were the Federation species most interested in space exploration, they made up a large majority of Starfleet. The fact that Starfleet was originally a pre-Federation Earth organization also contributed to the Human dominance of Starfleet.
How much of the galaxy has been explored in Star Trek?
By the end of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Picard mentions in the finale ("What You Leave Behind") that the Federation has explored an additional 8%, bringing the total up to 19%.
Yes, in the classic series the Enterprise left the galaxy three times - in the first season's second pilot episode, “Where No Man Has Gone Before", in which the Enterprise broke through the galactic barrier successfully, albeit at great cost; in the second season episode “By Any Other Name", when the starship was ...
How long do humans live in the Star Trek universe?
According to the Star Trek canon, the average human lifespan will reach 100 years during the early 22nd century. By the mid-24th century, the mean crested 120 years. This gradual increase in longevity is mostly thanks to advanced medical technology.
Accordingly, "warp 1" is equivalent to the speed of light, "warp 2" is eight times the speed of light, "warp 3" is 27 times the speed of light, etc. Several episodes of The Original Series placed the Enterprise in peril by having it travel at high warp factors.
This makes sense in context as the station operated above the planet Bajor, whose rotational period was 26 hours. While Bajor most likely had their own way of keeping time, the show was still told through the lens of Starfleet, so the human-originated system of hours was put in place on the station.
Each stardate increment represents one milliyear, with 78 years in 2401, counted from 2323. The decimal represents a fractional day. Thus, stardates are a composition of two types of decimal time. In the twenty-first century, this would indicate 78 years from 1945.
NASA is featured heavily in the opening credits for Star Trek: Enterprise, including a diagram of the Mercury-Redstone Launch Vehicle, the space shuttle orbiter Enterprise, the Apollo program, a Saturn V rocket, and the Mars Pathfinder rover Sojourner.
The Moon is the only other place humans have visited. No other planet in our solar system currently has the conditions to support life as we know it on Earth. Even if scientists discover another habitable planet outside of our solar system, humans do not yet have the technology to visit it.
Although no extraterrestrial life has been found and life may still be just a rarity from Earth, there are scientific reasons to suspect that it can exist elsewhere, and technological advances that may detect it if it does. Many scientists are optimistic about the chances of finding alien life.
