The Fate of The Andromeda III - Facts You May Not Have Known About Universe.
| Features
An accidental collision with an asteroid causes the first manned mission to Mars, the Andromeda III, to end tragically, crashing onto the surface of Mars. At Mission Control, a young lieutenant, brother of one of the astronauts, vows to find out the actual fate of the expedition, no matter how long it takes.
Twenty years later, a young woman is chosen by the leaders of the Four Races of her planet to travel to another world to establish peaceful relations with its allegedly violent inhabitants. Upon arrival, she fears the worst when her ship is surrounded by armed men and machines.
Are peaceful relations possible? What adventures and discoveries await the young Emissary? And what exactly did happen to the Andromeda III?
Here's some interesting facts about the universe!
The Milky Way is a huge galaxy of stars. It would take us 100,000 years to travel across it.
Our planet has been around for quite some time. It’s been around for about 4.54 billion years.
On Mars, you can find the biggest mountain in the whole galaxy. Olympus Mons is a giant mound of red dirt and rock. This giant Martian volcano is 2,400 meters tall, which makes it almost 15 miles high.
If the sun were as tall as a typical front door, Earth would be a size of a nickel.
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on all the beaches on Earth. That’s at least a billion trillion!
The Earth is never at rest; even when we are asleep in bed. In just a minute, we would have travelled almost 20,000 kilometres or more than 12,000 miles.
We hope you enjoyed these interesting facts about the universe!
