Who acts: we, hundreds, galaxy, faint · What happens: know, be, move, go · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Galaxies and the Big Bang» of the space course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (we, hundreds, galaxy, faint), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
