Interstellar Travel
**Interstellar travel** refers to the theoretical travel between stars or planetary systems within a galaxy. Unlike interplanetary travel, which occurs within a single star system, interstellar journeys would require traversing vast distances, often measured in light-years. Current technology does not allow for practical interstellar travel, but concepts such as generation ships, faster-than-light propulsion, and robotic probes have been proposed. Scientific and engineering challenges include propulsion, life support, and communication over immense distances. Interstellar travel remains a subject of scientific research, science fiction, and speculation.
