0:00:02 > 0:00:05Soon, Starlight will scatter through the dark,
0:00:05 > 0:00:09so let's all look up at Stargazing Park.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13Hello, stargazers.
0:00:13 > 0:00:19Now, last night we found out loads about comets hurtling through space.
0:00:19 > 0:00:23I can't wait to find out what we're going to spot tonight.
0:00:23 > 0:00:25All we have to do is look up.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37# When the night falls, Maggie helps us see
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# Wonders of the stars above us all
0:00:40 > 0:00:43# Turn the lights low, grab a cosy rug
0:00:43 > 0:00:48# Wrap up warm and snug, here we go
0:00:48 > 0:00:52# We're going stargazing
0:00:52 > 0:00:55# Gaze at stars shining bright
0:00:55 > 0:00:58# We're going stargazing
0:00:58 > 0:01:02# Spot a zooming satellite
0:01:02 > 0:01:05# We're going stargazing
0:01:05 > 0:01:08# Glimpse the moon and the planets above
0:01:08 > 0:01:12# We're going stargazing
0:01:12 > 0:01:17# So just look up, look up. #
0:01:28 > 0:01:34- Come and join us underneath the stars.- Hi, Chris. Hi, stargazers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38Hello, Maggie. Welcome to the Stargazing Park.
0:01:38 > 0:01:43- What can we see up there? - I can see a flashing dot.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48Let's dim the lights, because we'll see a lot more stars.
0:01:48 > 0:01:52Now, it takes a little while for your eyes to get used to it
0:01:52 > 0:01:56- but are you seeing more stars yet? - Yes. I see one million stars.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58You see a million stars? I can see lots.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01There's something flashing.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- I can see two things flashing over there.- Me, too.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I think they're aeroplanes.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Now, I want you all to look for a tiny dot of light
0:02:09 > 0:02:14moving across the sky. Can anyone see anything like that?
0:02:14 > 0:02:20- There's one moving.- Where? - Over there.- Oh, yes.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Does anyone know what that dot is? - I see a moving dot.- A satellite.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27- A satellite?- I see a moving dot.- Really? You never know.
0:02:27 > 0:02:32I think you're right. I think it is a satellite. What's a satellite?
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Er, it's something that orbits around Earth that makes it so
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- you can go on phone. - I've got an idea.- What's your idea?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It goes around space and collects information.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Information - that's true.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48They can tell us about the weather, they can help us
0:02:48 > 0:02:53with our telephones and television signals, all sorts of things.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57I wonder who else is looking for satellites in the night sky?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08It's Pui!
0:03:08 > 0:03:12- Hello, stargazers. We're looking for satellites too, aren't we?- Yes.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Oh, but it's quite tricky looking for satellites because they're
0:03:16 > 0:03:17so tiny up there.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21Up close, satellites are this big.
0:03:21 > 0:03:27So if a this-big satellite looks tiny up there,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31imagine how teeny-tiny Miss Mouse would look up there.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34I know. Come back in a bit and you never know,
0:03:34 > 0:03:37you might even see Miss Mouse in space.
0:03:39 > 0:03:44Imagine, Miss Mouse in space! Oh, I hope she makes it there.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Can you spot any more satellites? Have a look. Have a look.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Yeah, yeah.- Where? Where?- There. Where is it going?
0:03:51 > 0:03:56For that question, you can help me answer it. Come on, guys.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Now we all have our stargazing part satellites,
0:04:01 > 0:04:04but what we want to do is try and get them up into space.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Oh, we can do that. Three, two, one, blast off.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Wahay! Up they go.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15- Oh, dear.- And down they come.- What goes up must come down, I'm afraid.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18So now, let's see if you can do better.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- But Chris, I need to use your head. - Oh, really?
0:04:21 > 0:04:25- Can you put this Earth hat on, please.- Absolutely.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32- I'm the Earth.- Now, what we just did is we took our satellite
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and we threw it up in the air and it came back down.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40What do you think would happen if we threw our satellites this way?
0:04:40 > 0:04:42It would go wheeee!
0:04:42 > 0:04:45That's right. They might fall off the edge of the Earth.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49- So shall we give that a try? - Ready, satellites?
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Three, two, one, blastoff!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54- Whaaay!- Oh!
0:04:54 > 0:04:58- So what happened?- It came down.- Yes.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00We have to think about this a bit more.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Let's say that we got our satellites but now,
0:05:03 > 0:05:05we're going to throw them
0:05:05 > 0:05:10just the right amount so that they go around here and start falling.
0:05:10 > 0:05:14What they are going to do is keep on falling towards the Earth.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17It's still falling towards the Earth
0:05:17 > 0:05:20but it's following the curve of the Earth.
0:05:20 > 0:05:23So where's the satellite going? It's going round...
0:05:23 > 0:05:27And round and round.
0:05:27 > 0:05:32- That's right. Round the Earth. - Maggie, you're orbiting me!- Yes.
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Our satellite is in orbit.
0:05:36 > 0:05:42Look, I've got an Earth hat just like Chris's. Let's put this on your head.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47Off you go into orbit, Miss Mouse. Whee!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49What's the view like, Miss Mouse?
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Lovely, Jake, but quite honestly,
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I've always wanted to be a real astronaut.
0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Ooh! I think we can help you with that. Can't we, stargazers?- Yes.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33It looks like astronaut Miss Mouse is ready.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Miss Mouse, this is your moment.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41You are about to go on an adventure that's out of this world.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46Three, two, one, blastoff! Up, up and away!
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Come on, back to mission control!
0:07:01 > 0:07:03Here at mission control,
0:07:03 > 0:07:07we can find out what Miss Mouse's space flight was really like.
0:07:10 > 0:07:12I can see all of the clouds.
0:07:18 > 0:07:19She's in space!
0:07:21 > 0:07:25Mission control, I've reached the edge of space.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33The Earth looks magnificent from up here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Look at the edge of the Earth.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39- Can you see the curvy shape?- Yes.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Miss Mouse, this is mission control.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46- Prepare to come back to Earth. - On my way.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- Miss Mouse, you're back. - Thank you, mission control.
0:07:55 > 0:07:59Now, what this astronaut needs is a nice cup of tea.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Miss Mouse in space! It's incredible, it really is!
0:08:04 > 0:08:07Now stargazers, I've got a few things to show you.
0:08:07 > 0:08:14- Can you help me, Charlie? What's this?- A toothbrush.- That's right.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- Next, we've got... What's this? A spanner.- A spanner. OK.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20What else have we got, Charlie?
0:08:20 > 0:08:24- A tool box.- A tool box. That's right. We've got one more.
0:08:24 > 0:08:29- Does anyone know?- A space glove. - A space glove.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33You can tell cos it's floating. This is an astronaut's glove.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Now we've got four things here.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Can anyone tell me what they've got in common?
0:08:38 > 0:08:41All of these things have been lost in space
0:08:41 > 0:08:43and they're known as space junk.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47You can see pictures to give you an idea of how much stuff is
0:08:47 > 0:08:51out there. It's like a snowstorm around the Earth.
0:08:51 > 0:08:56It goes round and round and round and round.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58You're orbiting me.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59Thank you, Charlie.
0:08:59 > 0:09:04I'm going to see if I can spot some space junk through the window.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Do you really think I'm going to see an astronaut's glove through
0:09:08 > 0:09:11the window? No. I need a telescope. Right.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28Good luck trying to find an astronaut's glove.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Keep an eye out for an astronaut with a very cold hand,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34with a glove missing in space.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Of course, the astronauts you would find aboard
0:09:37 > 0:09:42the International Space Station doing their work, doing their experiments.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Eating their dinner.
0:09:45 > 0:09:49In about 90 minutes, they can go around the Earth
0:09:49 > 0:09:55one entire time and they see night-time and daytime.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57They see the whole world.
0:10:01 > 0:10:05What an incredible view from the space station.
0:10:05 > 0:10:10- Now, how is Earth looking from up here, stargazer satellites?- Great.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12You're happy? Oh, that's good.
0:10:12 > 0:10:17Well, I think we should sing a song about spotting satellites.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19That's what we're being.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22# Spot a light, a satellite
0:10:22 > 0:10:26# Satellite, satellite
0:10:26 > 0:10:29# Spot a light, a satellite
0:10:29 > 0:10:31# Orbiting the Earth... #
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Are you ready to go?
0:10:32 > 0:10:36# Round and round and round it goes
0:10:36 > 0:10:39# Round it goes, round it goes
0:10:39 > 0:10:43# Round and round and round it goes
0:10:43 > 0:10:45# Orbiting the Earth. #
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Now, what else goes around the Earth?- A glove.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Yes, the astronaut's glove. Shall we sing about that this time?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56# Spot a glove, an astronaut's glove
0:10:56 > 0:11:00# Astronaut's glove, astronaut's glove
0:11:00 > 0:11:03# Spot a glove, an astronaut's glove
0:11:03 > 0:11:05# Orbiting the Earth... #
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Let's go !
0:11:07 > 0:11:10# Round and round and round it goes
0:11:10 > 0:11:13# Round it goes, round it goes
0:11:13 > 0:11:17# Round and round and round it goes
0:11:17 > 0:11:19# Orbiting the Earth. #
0:11:21 > 0:11:26- What goes up must come...- Down.
0:11:28 > 0:11:34Oh, that's it. Get nice and cosy for another Starlight story.
0:11:34 > 0:11:38Look up. The stars have stories to tell.
0:11:41 > 0:11:47# Starlight scattered through the dark
0:11:49 > 0:11:53# Painting stories for us all
0:11:56 > 0:12:01# Gather underneath the stars
0:12:02 > 0:12:07# And hear their wonders told
0:12:09 > 0:12:12# Looking up into the dark
0:12:12 > 0:12:16# The night is yours and it is mine
0:12:16 > 0:12:19# Looking out into the dark
0:12:19 > 0:12:22# The dark upon us all
0:12:22 > 0:12:27# Upon us all the stars will shine
0:12:27 > 0:12:34# Upon us all the stars will shine. #
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Everybody look up. - Gemini, the twins.
0:12:40 > 0:12:46Gemini, the twins, wish to travel the world, to travel round in just
0:12:46 > 0:12:49one day and be home in time for tea.
0:12:49 > 0:12:55They hopped upon their shiny scooters and scooted really fast
0:12:55 > 0:13:00across the park and through the zoo but stopped when they got to the
0:13:00 > 0:13:06sea, so they climbed aboard a pirate ship that bobbed upon the waves.
0:13:06 > 0:13:13Up and down and up it went but sailing the world would take days.
0:13:13 > 0:13:19Through the telescope, they spied a rocket, ready to zoom.
0:13:19 > 0:13:24So they took a lift with a satellite and blasted towards the moon.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Then round and round and round they went,
0:13:28 > 0:13:30looking down on the land and sea.
0:13:30 > 0:13:35Round and round and round they sped and were home in time for tea.
0:13:43 > 0:13:49We'll see you for more stargazing tomorrow. Until then, bye-bye.
