2001: A Space Odyssey Part 6, Chapter 42 Summary

The Alien Sky

  • Bowman realizes he's not in his Solar System, but somewhere else way far away. Way way away. Too far to walk.
  • He's near a big, old sun, that has a little White Dwarf orbiting it, pulling up sheets of fire as it rotates.
  • The pod is falling towards the sun. That can't be a good thing.
