Wunderwelten / Wie Lord Flitmore eine seltsame Reise zu den Planeten unternimmt und durch einen Kometen in die Fixsternwelt entführt wird

A party of explorers led by an intrepid noble and joined by an astronomer, an inventive captain and other companions undertakes an engineered voyage through the solar system aboard a world-ship. They visit the Moon, Mars, the asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury, face meteor swarms, comets and other cosmic dangers, and encounter strange terrains, novel lifeforms and altered physical laws. A comet carries them into a realm among the fixed stars where paradisiacal landscapes and higher intelligences broaden their outlook. Scientific exposition about astronomy is woven into episodic adventures, crises and a final return journey.
