We live amongst 200 billion stars, in the Milky Way galaxy, a vast cosmic city. The earth is located in a quiet neighborhood, in a safe neck of the woods. But what if we could take our planets on a journey through the galaxy? What wonders would be see? What displays of power? What unimaginable forces? What exquisite beauty? What if we could travel through time and space to understand how our galaxy came to be and how it would end? What if we could travel on the ultimate cosmic trip and journey through the Milky Way?

我们生活在银河系2000亿颗恒星其中一个广阔的宇宙的城市。地球坐落在这一地区安静的街区。但是如果我们的行星来一次穿越银河系的旅行如何?将会看到什么奇迹吗?会有什么不可思议的事情发生?有不可思议的力量吗?如果我们能穿越时间和空间来了解我们的星系的诞生和结束会怎样呢?如果我们可以穿越银河系来次最终宇宙旅行如何?
