Ad astra (phrase)
''Ad astra'' is a Latin phrase meaning "to the stars". The phrase has origins with Virgil, who wrote ''sic iter (itur ) ad astra'' ("thus one journeys to the stars", from ''Aeneid'' book IX, line 641, spoken by Apollo to Aeneas's young son Iulus) and ''opta ardua pennis astra sequi'', ("desire to pursue the high (or hard to reach) stars on wings" book XII, lines 892–893, spoken by Aeneas to his foe Turnus in their combat). Another origin is Seneca the Younger, who wrote ''non est ad astra mollis e terris via'' ("there is no easy way from the earth to the stars", ''Hercules Furens'', line 437, spoken by Megara, Hercules' wife).
== Mottos ==
It is used as, or as part of, the motto of many organizations, most prominently, many air forces. It has also been adopted as a proper name for various unrelated things (publications, bands, games, etc.). It also sees general use as a popular Latin tag.
