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!

A beam of light leaves the Andromeda Galaxy and travels across the void of intergalactic space. On a planet located in a nearby galaxy, intelligent life evolves. As the light speeds across the light years, over the course of centuries, the primitives on the planet form cultures and civilizations - and begin to wonder about the universe surrounding them.

Their awareness of the night sky increases, as the beam of light draws nearer to their planet.When the light reaches the Earth, some of the descendants of the early hunters have just escaped the bonds of their world's gravity, and visited the Moon.

In modern times, scientific study of space help the planet's current inhabitants to understand the properties of light, and the ways that understanding shapes our further knowledge of the universe.
"Light Years From Andromeda" teaches the concepts of light speed, the light year and how astronomers use them to measure distances to some familiar celestial objects - the Moon, the Sun, the planets, nearby stars, and galaxies.
The show briefly touches on the properties of light that help determine a star's age and temperature, and gives a fascinating look at how light and distance allow us to "look back" further in time as we gaze farther into space.
"Light Years From Andromeda" is narrated by Michael Dorn, Worf of Star Trek movies and TV
