Terrific visuals of an interplanetary airship! This appears to be two films in one as made obvious by the two different styles of title cards. The first film gives us a scientifically accurate description, remarkable for its time, of the solar system, with occasional apologies to religious folks. It's funny how these basic facts, known for almost a century, are still disputed by some even today! The other film appears narrate a journey into space on a wonderfully deco/streamlined airship! Sort of an early 20th century episode of Cosmos. Lots of fun!

Good special effects in this one, but man, lots of title cards in this one! Loved the spaceship. The rest was somewhat boring.

"Wunder der Schöpfung" (Germany, 1925), with the English language version called "Our Heavenly Bodies" see the discussion at the listing for "A Trip To The Planets - silent with added sound"

Trip to the Planets is a silent documentary made in the early decades of the 20th century. The film has more title cards to read then the primitive images. Seems like some things have been spliced in(probably from another film). The documentary ends very abruptly since the last portion is probably missing. Historically interesting.
