Seeing stars - What a blast!
Seeing stars - What a blast! There are many different galaxies in outer space
and Andromeda is the farthest one that you can see without a
telescope. It is about 2 million light years away! When astronauts
on the Apollo X travelled in outer space in 1969, they reached the
faster speed ever achieved by humans - 39,896 km per hour. At that
speed, they could travel around the whole Earth in about an
hour! 16 MAY 2000
