Leave Earth tonight and embark on a journey into the cosmos, watching as the familiar fades: from the ground, to Earth, the Sun, and finally our galaxy.
This episode features a calm narration paired with hand-printed illustrations across ten chapters, forming a serene expedition. It's designed for relaxation, so feel free to drift asleep without following every detail.
Explore landmark moments such as Earth appearing smaller than a pixel, Artemis II's record in 2026, Voyager 1 reaching a full day of light-travel from home, and the point at which the Sun is no longer visible. Every fact has been meticulously verified, and any scientific uncertainties are acknowledged.
