0:01:34 > 0:01:35Come and join us

0:01:35 > 0:01:37underneath the stars.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45- Hi, Chris - hi, stargazers! - Hi, Maggie!- CHILDREN: Hi, Maggie!

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Welcome to the Stargazing Park.

0:01:47 > 0:01:49What can we see up there?

0:01:50 > 0:01:55- Stars!- Lots of stars.- I can see so many, I can't count them.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00There's lots of things to see in the dark sky tonight,

0:02:00 > 0:02:03but now I want to show you something much brighter.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04Follow me. This way!

0:02:07 > 0:02:11And look over there... What's the brightest thing you can see?

0:02:11 > 0:02:14- The moon.- The moon!- The moon! Isn't it beautiful?

0:02:14 > 0:02:17Are you looking at the moon, too?

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Have a look up.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20OWL HOOTS

0:02:20 > 0:02:21The moon.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Round and full and shining bright.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Who else is spotting the moon tonight?

0:02:38 > 0:02:40It's Rebecca!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Hi, stargazers!

0:02:42 > 0:02:45- We're looking for craters on the moon.- There's one!

0:02:45 > 0:02:49- We went to the moon earlier, didn't we?- ALL: Yes!

0:02:49 > 0:02:52We went for a moon walk around the craters,

0:02:52 > 0:02:55but we'll show you how we did it a bit later.

0:02:58 > 0:03:00Well, I never!

0:03:00 > 0:03:02How did Rebecca get to the moon?

0:03:02 > 0:03:04It's such a long way away.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09If you look through a telescope, you can see the craters really close up.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12So the moon is covered in craters.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17How do craters get on the moon?

0:03:17 > 0:03:21That's a very good question, Alicia. How do craters appear on the moon?

0:03:21 > 0:03:24I think I can show you. Follow me! This way.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31So THIS is the moon.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35But there's something missing - we don't have any moon dust.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Ha-ha!- I have the moon dust.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40So if that's going to be the moon, here's the moon dust -

0:03:40 > 0:03:44can you help me? Let me know when you've got enough.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47Yes, keep pouring. We need lots of moon dust.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49- How's that?- Whoa! Let's try that.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Let's give it a shake. Lovely.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54This...is a meteor.

0:03:56 > 0:03:59- Does anyone know what a meteor is? - I do.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02It's a big piece of rock

0:04:02 > 0:04:04which smashes into things.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's right, Joseph.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10It's a piece of rock hurtling through space at incredible speeds.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15What happens if it lands on the moon's surface?

0:04:15 > 0:04:19Meteor...smash! Who wants to have a go?

0:04:19 > 0:04:23- Meteor...smash!- In here...

0:04:24 > 0:04:29I have an asteroid. Does anyone know what an asteroid is?

0:04:29 > 0:04:33- An even bigger piece of rock. - That's right, Joseph.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37It's a BIG lump of rock, hurtling through space, going very fast.

0:04:37 > 0:04:39As big as houses, or even bigger.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42If this land on the moon, what's going to happen?

0:04:42 > 0:04:43It'll make a bigger crater.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45- Bigger than the meteor?- Yes.- Yes.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Asteroid...smash!

0:04:49 > 0:04:54Asteroid...smash!

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- Bring it round...- Asteroid...smash!

0:04:57 > 0:05:00That was a bouncy asteroid!

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Asteroid, smash!

0:05:03 > 0:05:06So now, if we take some of the asteroids out,

0:05:06 > 0:05:09let's see what we've got left behind.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10Craters.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Yes, we got some really big craters.

0:05:13 > 0:05:15So the moon got its craters

0:05:15 > 0:05:19when meteors and asteroids crashed into it.

0:05:19 > 0:05:23Thank you, because you've also given me an idea.

0:05:27 > 0:05:32I'm going to turn this moon into a stargazing treat for Maggie.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34But while I do, let's look up and see

0:05:34 > 0:05:38if we can spot the moon through the window.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54I've come up high above the rooftops to look at the moon.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56You can look at it, too.

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Look at the mountains and the craters and just imagine.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15When I was a little boy, not much older than you,

0:06:15 > 0:06:18people were walking on the moon.

0:06:18 > 0:06:21We've actually landed on those craters

0:06:21 > 0:06:23and looked up at those mountains.

0:06:23 > 0:06:26- NEIL ARMSTRONG:- I'm at the foot of the ladder.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29The LM foot beds are only depressed in the surface

0:06:29 > 0:06:31about one or two inches.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33Maybe one day, YOU could be an astronaut,

0:06:33 > 0:06:37so you could go to the moon, or perhaps even go to Mars.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44Imagine how amazing it would be

0:06:44 > 0:06:48to be moon-walking all the way up there!

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Well, apparently, Rebecca and her stargazers went to the moon.

0:06:53 > 0:06:56I wonder how they got on.

0:06:56 > 0:07:01Meteor...smash! We're bringing the moon to Earth!

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- Meteor...- ALL: Smash!

0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Smash!- Smash!- Smash!

0:07:07 > 0:07:09Right, then.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13- Do you think our craters are big enough?- They're a bit small.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16I think we're going to need some bigger meteors.

0:07:16 > 0:07:17There you go.

0:07:17 > 0:07:18Thank you.

0:07:20 > 0:07:26- Meteors...- ALL: Smash!- Smash! - Smash!- Smash!

0:07:28 > 0:07:33- So, do you think our craters are big enough now?- ALL: No!

0:07:33 > 0:07:38They're not, are they? We need some asteroids.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41Asteroids are much bigger than meteors.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44I know - why don't WE be the asteroids?

0:07:44 > 0:07:47- ALL: Yeah!- Asteroids...

0:07:47 > 0:07:52- Go! Crash!- Smash!- Smash!

0:07:52 > 0:07:56The moon is so big, I think we're going to need a few more asteroids.

0:07:56 > 0:08:01Watch out, stargazers - here comes an asteroid storm!

0:08:01 > 0:08:03CHILDREN CHEER AND SHOUT

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Smash!

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Asteroids... Stop!

0:08:19 > 0:08:23- What have you made? - Craters!- Brilliant!

0:08:23 > 0:08:26You brought the moon to Earth.

0:08:26 > 0:08:32Right, stargazers, now we've done that, we're going to need this.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36It's our very own lunar rover,

0:08:36 > 0:08:40so we can explore and film the surface of the moon.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Here we go.

0:08:42 > 0:08:46Astronauts send lunar rovers to the moon to collect

0:08:46 > 0:08:49lots of information and to film the surface of the moon.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53The surface of the moon is rocky, rough and uneven.

0:08:53 > 0:08:54It has mountains, valleys,

0:08:54 > 0:09:00craters and even footprints where astronauts have left their mark.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Let's go for a moonwalk

0:09:04 > 0:09:07and leave our footprints on the moon - here we go!

0:09:16 > 0:09:19Let's see YOUR moon-walking, Chris!

0:09:20 > 0:09:23How's this, Rebecca?

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Float... Float... Float!

0:09:26 > 0:09:30There's only one thing better than moon-walking - that's moon-dancing!

0:09:30 > 0:09:35OK, let's do a bit of moon-dancing, then - how's this?

0:09:35 > 0:09:39Are you moon-dancing too? Let's all moon-dance together.

0:09:39 > 0:09:40That's good moves!

0:09:42 > 0:09:47# We get it almost every night

0:09:47 > 0:09:50# When the moon is big and bright

0:09:50 > 0:09:54# It's a supernatural delight

0:09:54 > 0:09:58# Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

0:10:06 > 0:10:10# Everybody's dancing in the moonlight

0:10:10 > 0:10:14# Everybody's feeling warm and bright

0:10:14 > 0:10:18# It's such a fine and natural sight

0:10:18 > 0:10:23# Everybody's dancing in the moonlight... #

0:10:24 > 0:10:30- NEIL ARMSTRONG:- It's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33Oh, give yourself a big clap!

0:10:33 > 0:10:35Great moon-dancing!

0:10:37 > 0:10:41Look, I've just spotted a giant crater - the perfect place

0:10:41 > 0:10:46to get cosy for tonight's Starlight Story.

0:10:46 > 0:10:48Perfect - let's go.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06# Starlight scattered through the dark

0:11:10 > 0:11:14# Painting stories for us all

0:11:17 > 0:11:21# Gather underneath the stars

0:11:23 > 0:11:28# And hear their wonders told

0:11:30 > 0:11:33# Looking up into the dark

0:11:33 > 0:11:37# The night is yours and it is mine

0:11:37 > 0:11:40# Looking up into the dark

0:11:40 > 0:11:44# The dark upon us all

0:11:44 > 0:11:48# Upon us all the stars will shine

0:11:48 > 0:11:55# Upon us all the stars will shine. #

0:11:57 > 0:12:01I wonder whose story the stars will tell tonight.

0:12:01 > 0:12:06For hundreds of years, people have named collections of stars.

0:12:06 > 0:12:09Which constellation can YOU see tonight?

0:12:09 > 0:12:12ALL: Cancer, the crab!

0:12:14 > 0:12:18Cancer the crab wished to ballet dance.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20She tried to spin and leap,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23but gravity kept on pulling her back

0:12:23 > 0:12:25to Earth in a heavy heap,

0:12:25 > 0:12:31sending meteors crashing and asteroids smashing,

0:12:31 > 0:12:36making craters galore on the moon's dusty floor.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46Now Cancer the crab's wish has come true!

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Dancing round craters wide and deep,

0:12:50 > 0:12:56she's ever so light and ever so floaty,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58just watch her spin and leap!

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Well, that's the story of just a few stars,

0:13:06 > 0:13:10but there are billions more to see, so keep looking up.

0:13:10 > 0:13:15Maggie, I nearly forgot... We've got a present for you.

0:13:15 > 0:13:16There you are.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Thank you! What is it?

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Meteor rock cakes - yummy, yummy!

0:13:22 > 0:13:27We'll see you tomorrow for more stargazing. Bye!
