"Around the Moon" is the second part of Jules Verne's famous story about a trip to the moon. In this book, a space capsule shaped like a cannonball flies to the moon. Inside are the president of the Gun Club, a French adventurer named Michel Ardan, and Captain Nicholl. After they launch successfully, the three men make many exciting discoveries as they travel around the moon. They see the moon's surface up close, talk about whether there could be life on the moon, and face problems like losing contact with Earth and dealing with weightlessness. The book is famous for its detailed science and creative ideas about space travel, which did not exist when Verne wrote it. Verne shows his great imagination and belief that people can achieve amazing things through science and adventure.
