What's Happening While You Sleep

As you rest, the Earth spins away from the Sun, and the night is alive with activity. Join us on a journey exploring what happens in the vast universe while you dream. From astronauts sleeping above us to distant rovers on Mars, and signals from spacecrafts afar, we delve into the mysteries of the cosmos. Calm narration guides you through ten chapters of a quiet voyage. Sleep if you must; the universe continues its dance regardless.
