Jonathan, you're a hard worker. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:06 | |
A real wizard with a vacuum cleaner. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:09 | |
-But can I really trust you to hit your targets? -Aah! | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
-You there! -Ah! | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
You seem to know about science and things, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
but I'm looking for someone who can really fly. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:22 | |
I'm just not sure you're that person. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
And then there's you, McCork. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Erratic, unpredictable, perhaps even a genius. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:32 | |
A genius! | 0:00:32 | 0:00:33 | |
So I've come to my decision. | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
Professor McCork, | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
you are going to be fired! | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
Fired? Really? | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Aw, no. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:44 | |
-Oh, crumpets! -BELL RINGS | 0:00:44 | 0:00:46 | |
Positions, everybody! | 0:00:46 | 0:00:47 | |
This is... | 0:00:47 | 0:00:49 | |
With... | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
..the floor manager! | 0:00:56 | 0:00:58 | |
Stand by! | 0:01:01 | 0:01:03 | |
Come on, everybody! | 0:01:03 | 0:01:05 | |
BOTH: It's time for... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:09 | |
Today we're asking - what is a shooting star? | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
Our solar system today is full of planets, moons, asteroids | 0:01:15 | 0:01:20 | |
and small worlds of dust and ice called comets. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:23 | |
Most comets have huge elliptical orbits, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
but when they come near the sun, heat melts the ice | 0:01:25 | 0:01:29 | |
and they grow long tails of gas and dust. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
But what do these comets have to do with shooting stars? | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
When the ice in a comet's trail melts, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
it releases small chunks of rock and dust into space. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
These and other small rocky particles hurtling through space | 0:01:40 | 0:01:44 | |
are known as meteoroids and when they enter the earth's atmosphere, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:48 | |
they're known as meteors. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:49 | |
So they're not really stars at all? | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
Don't forget, McCork! My office, 5pm! | 0:01:52 | 0:01:55 | |
Don't be late! | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
But we're live. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Oh, that is so unprofessional! | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Go to ad break! Ad break now! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
I'm really going to miss you, McCork. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
So many memories. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
Get off, McCork! | 0:02:14 | 0:02:17 | |
Ha-ha-ha! | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
Aw, it's just not going to be the same without him. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
What are you talking about? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
Positions, everyone! | 0:02:26 | 0:02:27 | |
So if they're not shooting stars, then what are they? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Entering the Earth's atmosphere at speeds of 15km per second, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:41 | |
meteors heat up rapidly due to friction with the air. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
As they burn up, they glow brightly, creating the streak of light | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
we see as shooting stars. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:50 | |
That's amazing! | 0:02:50 | 0:02:52 | |
At certain times of the year, when Earth passes through a stream | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
of dust left by a passing comet, we can see meteor showers. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
Spectacular events with up to 50 shooting stars per minute! | 0:03:00 | 0:03:03 | |
50 per minute? That's an awful lot of stars. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:07 | |
Aw, none of them are as bright as you, Professor. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
Ah, stop it! You're only embarrassing me now! | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
See you around, everyone! | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
And we're clear! | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
What the...? | 0:03:19 | 0:03:20 | |
Hey-hey! | 0:03:20 | 0:03:21 | |
Looks like I'm getting fired now, right? | 0:03:21 | 0:03:24 | |
From a cannon! | 0:03:24 | 0:03:25 | |
Welcome, everybody, to my annual charity | 0:03:25 | 0:03:29 | |
Fire A Colleague From A Cannon challenge! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
This is absolutely bonkers! | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
Ready, McCork? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:37 | |
Ready as I'll ever be, Mrs Hucklebuck! | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
Here we go! | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
Three, two, one! | 0:03:41 | 0:03:44 | |
-BOOM! -Aaaaarrgh! | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
SHE COUGHS | 0:03:47 | 0:03:49 | |
Whoopsie! | 0:03:49 | 0:03:51 | |
I think I might have got the calculations a bit wrong there. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
SHE GIGGLES | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
Oh, it's going to be a long year! | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Ah, look, there's the moon! | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
It looks brilliant from here. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
There's Mars. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
Mars is looking nice. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
This is brilliant! | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
I wish I could get fired every day. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
