Autour de la lune by Jules Verne

"Autour de la lune" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel published in 1869. This sequel to "From the Earth to the Moon" follows three travelers aboard a bullet-shaped projectile fired from a giant space gun toward the Moon. As they journey through space, they face unexpected obstacles, including a near-collision with an asteroid that alters their course. Instead of landing as planned, they enter lunar orbit, observing the Moon's barren surface before confronting a perilous return to Earth. Their survival hangs in the balance.
