Hello there! My name is Mr. Quasar, expert tour guide of the Universe! I have been guiding lifeforms through our galaxy for millions of years. I have seen many things in my day, and I am going to share everything I know about our solar system with you! So, fasten your seatbelts and put on your astronaut suits while I tell you a little about our universe...

My name is Hali. I have worked closely with Mr. Quasar as his assistant. We met when a huge asteroid crashed into the planet Mercury. He was giving a tour of the new volcano on Venus and I was in his tour group. The impact from the asteroid caused a huge crater in the surface of Mercury. We had to leave quickly because the temperature suddenly became boiling hot!

I'm Bot! Mr. Quasar rescued me from my home planet, Mars, when I was just a small boy. Mars is a desert-like planet with clouds of red dust, and it orbits around the Sun just like all the other planets in our galaxy. We ran out of water on Mars and Dr. Quasar rescued my family while he was gathering specimens for his laboratory.

I'm Dr. Quasar's trusted pal and best dog, Monty. I travel with the doc on his adventures through the solar system. Did you know that the Earth rotates on it's axis every 24 hours? Dr. Quasar taught me that, he's a very smart guy!
