Come on, Robert, bed time. Just a bit longer. It's a beautiful night.

It used to be hard to get Bobby away from the telescope. Now it's you.

Sorry, dear, but it is so exciting.

Tomorrow night there's going to be a comet. A comet?

You know, a beautiful light high in the starry sky.

Oh, yes, they are very rare, aren't they?

They certainly are. Astronomy Today says

this one comes round only once every 400,000 years. Really?

We can stay up late tomorrow night and watch it.

I've got a better idea. Me and Bobby have got a plan.

Er, what's a comet, Bob?

Here's a picture of one. Look. THEY EXCLAIM

It's a bit small, Bob's mum. Just a little dot.

That's because it is far away, Lofty.

That's because it is far away, Lofty.

This is what it looks like close up.

THEY GASP

Will we be able to see it close up, Bob?

Yes, because me and my dad are building an observatory.

Observatory?

A special building with a big telescope inside. Show them, Dot.

Well, Lofty, do you see that rabbit? Sort of, Bob's mum.

It's really far away.

Try this, dear.

Oh, he looks really close now.

It's what a telescope does. It makes something far away look close.

You wait till we use Bobby's powerful telescope tonight.

That comet may look like a dot, but we'll get a close look all right.

Come on, team.

We're going to see a comet up close! It's going to be amazing, Lofty!

But what if Bob's observatory isn't ready in time?

It'll be ready. Come on!

Oh, no! What's wrong, Lofty?

I was looking at the designs for the observatory.

Good, aren't they? The telescope is inside.

When it is night, we open the roof and look at the comet. Yes.

But, er, the door, it's too little for me.

How will I get inside? Aha, I've thought of that.

I am going to connect this special screen to the telescope.

Whatever we see on the telescope, you will see on the screen outside.

Oh, yes. But, er...

Can you go back to the yard and fetch some extra crates?

OK, Bob.

Can we build it?

ALL: Yes, we can!

Yes, me and the other machines are going to watch on a screen.

THEY SQUEAK

I know, but what if the screen's not big enough?

Or there's not enough room?

What if everyone else can see, but not me?

THEY SQUEAK

Can I see the comet without the telescope?

I don't think so. The comet is far away in the sky. Only the telescope

can make it look close.

Oh, I could get close to it, though. But how?

Oh, that's how! The mountain.

I'll go up there and be high in the sky.

Thanks, rabbits.

Bob, it's getting dark! Is the comet coming soon?

Yes. Let's put this telescope together, Dad. Oh!

I've got a mountain to climb.

Oh-h, the comet! Bob's dad was right.

Just a little dot. I'd better get climbing.

# Comet, comet, in the sky

# You are very, very high

# You are shiny, you are bright

# Up there with the stars at night

# Comet, comet, in the sky

# You are very, very high. #

We better get that screen up quick!

I know, Scoop, but where is it? Lofty was meant to be fetching it.

Really? Anyone seen Lofty?

Phew! Now I'll be able to see the comet nice and close.

Oh, no! It's still just a dot.

Oh! Oh!

Help, I'm stuck!

TYRES SQUEAL

This is the crate the screen's in. Where's Lofty?

SQUEAKING

Oh, let's follow them, Bobby. I think they might lead us to Lofty.

Lofty, what are you doing?

Don't you know you should never climb mountains on your own? Sorry.

But I thought if I was as high as the sky, I'd see the comet big.

Things do look closer the closer you are to them

and we are a bit closer now,

and we are a bit closer now,

but the comet's very far away. Even if you went up the highest mountain,

the comet wouldn't look big.

You could have had a good look at the observatory.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to see the screen

with all of us round it.

Other machines would have made room for you,

just as you would for them.

Oh, oh, dear.

No-one is going to get a look at the comet if we don't hurry up.

You left the screen in the yard! Oh, no! Let's get it.

Everything is in focus, Son.

THEY GASP

Can everyone see? Yes, Bob's dad.

We're all sharing the screen together.

And I've something else I want to share.

My comet song.

Comet song? Oh, lovely, Lofty.

# Comet, comet, in the sky

# You are very, very high

# But you're here for us to see

# Thanks to Bob's observatory

# Comet, comet, in the sky

# You are very, very high. #
