"A Journey in Other Worlds" is a science fiction novel written by John Jacob Astor IV, first published in 1894. The story envisions a futuristic world in the year 2000, where technological advancements have made space travel possible, allowing humans to explore other planets in our solar system.

The narrative follows the journey of three main characters: Cortlandt, an engineer and expedition leader; Bearwarden, the President of the Terrestrial Axis Straightening Company (T.A.S.C.); and Ayrault, a young and enthusiastic explorer. Together, they embark on an ambitious mission aboard the advanced spacecraft Callisto to explore Jupiter and Saturn.

On Jupiter, the explorers discover a planet filled with vibrant and colossal flora and fauna. They encounter massive trees and gigantic animals, all adapted to Jupiter's unique environment. As they delve deeper into this alien world, they also meet ethereal and intelligent beings that offer profound insights into spiritual and philosophical matters, challenging their understanding of life and consciousness.

The journey continues to Saturn, where the environment is starkly different. The landscape is more desolate and eerie, with fewer signs of life but rich in mineral resources and geological marvels. The explorers investigate Saturn’s icy rings and moons, uncovering evidence of ancient civilizations and remnants of long-lost cultures. These discoveries lead them to contemplate the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and humanity's place in the universe.
