A beam of light leaves the Andromeda Galaxy and arrives at Earth over 2 million years later. Follow the light beam as it travels through intergalactic space and discover how vast the space is between galaxies. Learn about the history of humanity and how astronomy developed in the amount of time it took the light beam to reach us. “Light Years From Andromeda is a story of cosmic distances, and humanity’s quest to understand the universe. Take a journey of epic proportions across space and time!” Narrated by Michael Dorn.
