At first the projectiles are mistaken for shooting stars or meteors. Then Ogilvy, the first to discover one of the cylinders that has landed, realizes that it is hollow; as it cools, he can hear something inside unscrewing the cylinder’s top. Ogilvy informs a local journalist, Henderson, and soon a crowd, including the…

are to be transported to continue life on the planet Mars. Scientists have been studying this planet for decades.

During the formation of the Earth, the celestial body collided with the Earth, causing debris to fly into orbit, which then slowly came together and made up a celestial object, the Moon. The Moon has a lot of iron content, both the inner and…
