Lily started her adventure by visiting Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. She noticed that it was incredibly hot there. To solve the problem of the heat, Lily wore a special suit that protected her from getting too hot.

After Mars, Lily explored Jupiter, the largest planet. She was amazed by its big red spot. But her telescope couldn't capture the entire planet at once. To solve the problem of capturing the whole planet, Lily used a panoramic lens that showed a wider view.
