SOLAR JOURNEY takes you on a breathtaking tour through our local galactic neighborhood and beyond, using real data from Earth and space-based observatories. Explore the far reaches of the sun’s influence and visit the secret heart of the Milky Way galaxy, where a cluster of massive stars is held captive by a black hole. Witness the spectacular radiation rainbow that surrounds the ancient supernova known as Loop I. Pass by planetary systems and then fly out to our nearby sister galaxy Andromeda, where the Milky Way Galaxy is revealed as a tiny way station in the vast emptiness of space. Finally, return home to Earth as you may not have seen it before: safely cradled in the striking cocoon of the solar wind.
