0:01:34 > 0:01:37Oh, look, here comes Maggie.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Hello, everyone.

0:01:38 > 0:01:39- ALL:- Hi, Maggie.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43Welcome to Stargazing Park. Are you ready to explore the night sky?

0:01:43 > 0:01:45- ALL:- Yes.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Great, cos there's still so much more to discover,

0:01:48 > 0:01:50and all we need to do is look up.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54What can you see out there?

0:01:54 > 0:01:55The stars.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59A plane.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Can anyone see a satellite?

0:02:03 > 0:02:06I remember spotting satellites last time.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10They twinkle like stars, but they're moving through the night sky.

0:02:12 > 0:02:14There's one.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17We can see satellites clearly in the night sky

0:02:17 > 0:02:20because the sun is busy lighting them up.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23That's right, Chris. Well remembered.

0:02:23 > 0:02:24Thanks, Maggie.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Can you see a satellite from where you are?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Stars are twinkling,

0:02:32 > 0:02:35satellites are in flight,

0:02:35 > 0:02:38scattering the sky with pinpricks of light.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43I wonder who else is looking up tonight.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53It's Pui.

0:02:53 > 0:02:55Hi, Chris. Hi, stargazers.

0:02:55 > 0:02:59We've been trying to spot something exciting.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01What is it, stargazers?

0:03:01 > 0:03:04- International Space Station.- Yes!

0:03:04 > 0:03:06But it's a bit cloudy up there.

0:03:06 > 0:03:08Oh. If we could see beyond the clouds,

0:03:08 > 0:03:10the International Space Station

0:03:10 > 0:03:15would look like a bright light, zooming through the night sky.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- And inside there are...?- Astronauts.

0:03:18 > 0:03:21And earlier on today, we helped Miss Mouse do some

0:03:21 > 0:03:23astronaut training, didn't we?

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- ALL:- Yes.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Come back later and see what happened.

0:03:28 > 0:03:30Wow, the International Space Station!

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Now let me get this right, Maggie...

0:03:33 > 0:03:36From down here on Earth, we can see a spacecraft

0:03:36 > 0:03:40travelling through space, and there are astronauts inside?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Yes. We can see it

0:03:42 > 0:03:45because there are giant solar panels on the Space Station.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49When sunlight hits those solar panels, they shine brightly.

0:03:49 > 0:03:53The sun is lighting up the Space Station in the night sky.

0:03:53 > 0:03:55- Like a satellite. - Just like a satellite.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58The International Space Station IS a satellite.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01And it goes round and round and round the Earth.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03It's in orbit.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05But inside there are...?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07- ALL:- Astronauts!

0:04:07 > 0:04:10What's it like inside the International Space Station?

0:04:10 > 0:04:12That's a really good question, John.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15Why don't we go inside the cafe and find out?

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Come on, guys.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23Astronauts spend months on the International Space Station.

0:04:23 > 0:04:26That's many weeks - they may even have birthdays in space.

0:04:26 > 0:04:30The Space Station is the astronauts' home in space.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32They do everyday things up there.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35What things do you do every day, stargazers?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Have a bath.- Brush our teeth.- Sleep.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38- Mm-hm.- Eat.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41Who would like a bite of this lovely red apple?

0:04:41 > 0:04:43Me!

0:04:43 > 0:04:44Come on, come and grab it.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- MAGGIE LAUGHS - Whee!

0:04:50 > 0:04:51What's happening?

0:04:51 > 0:04:53It's floating away from me.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56It keeps floating! All food floats in space.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00Astronauts need to think really carefully about the food

0:05:00 > 0:05:03they eat inside the International Space Station.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07They eat lots of food from tubes and pouches so it doesn't make a mess.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10What else floats on the Space Station?

0:05:10 > 0:05:11- Astronauts.- Yes.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14On the International Space Station,

0:05:14 > 0:05:16the astronauts can float everywhere.

0:05:16 > 0:05:20They can even float up to the ceiling, and go to sleep up there.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22When they're not eating or sleeping,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25what do they get up to on the Space Station?

0:05:25 > 0:05:29Well, the astronauts work very hard doing science experiments.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38And they get an amazing view from their window. Come and have a look.

0:05:40 > 0:05:41What can you see?

0:05:41 > 0:05:43- ALL:- The Earth!

0:05:43 > 0:05:45What a beautiful Earth.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Thanks, Maggie.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53Wouldn't it be great to look back at Planet Earth from space?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Well, here's astronaut Samantha to tell us

0:05:56 > 0:06:02what she saw through the windows of the International Space Station.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06What I can see from my window is the most beautiful planet -

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Planet Earth.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10That's because I'm an astronaut,

0:06:10 > 0:06:13and I live and work on the International Space Station.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16I love coming up here in the cupola

0:06:16 > 0:06:19and watch as our beautiful planet, Earth, goes by.

0:06:19 > 0:06:22Oceans and continents...

0:06:22 > 0:06:25deserts and forests...

0:06:25 > 0:06:27rivers and lakes...

0:06:27 > 0:06:29All types of landscapes.

0:06:31 > 0:06:35The most beautiful and precious planet in the solar system...

0:06:35 > 0:06:36our home.

0:06:38 > 0:06:42What an amazing view Samantha had!

0:06:42 > 0:06:46From the International Space Station, the lights on Planet Earth

0:06:46 > 0:06:49look like twinkling stars.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54I wonder if brave Miss Mouse will ever get to go to the Space Station.

0:06:54 > 0:06:59Let's find out how she got on with her astronaut training.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05- AS MISS MOUSE:- "Come in, Tim! Stargazers reporting for duty."

0:07:06 > 0:07:09Receiving loud and clear, Miss Mouse.

0:07:09 > 0:07:11This is Tim Peake.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15He's a real-life astronaut on the International Space Station.

0:07:15 > 0:07:16Wow!

0:07:16 > 0:07:21Hi, stargazers. Thanks for being part of Miss Mouse's training team.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Ready for action?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- ALL:- Yes! - Let's go.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28- Level one - prepare for launch. - ALL:- Prepare for launch!

0:07:28 > 0:07:30To get to the International Space Station,

0:07:30 > 0:07:34I'll have to squeeze into a really small spacecraft

0:07:34 > 0:07:36with two other astronauts.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43The spacecraft is blasted into space by a rocket.

0:07:45 > 0:07:50The rocket has to go really fast to escape Earth's gravity...

0:07:50 > 0:07:53so it's a really bumpy ride inside.

0:07:57 > 0:07:58Your turn, Miss Mouse.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Training level one.

0:08:00 > 0:08:05Miss Mouse has squeezed herself into her tiny, tiny spacecraft,

0:08:05 > 0:08:07just like Tim and the other astronauts,

0:08:07 > 0:08:10and she's ready for launch.

0:08:10 > 0:08:11Let's count down.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12- ALL:- Three,

0:08:12 > 0:08:14two,

0:08:14 > 0:08:15one,

0:08:15 > 0:08:16blastoff!

0:08:16 > 0:08:19BALLOON PARPS, PUI LAUGHS

0:08:19 > 0:08:21It's Miss Mouse's turn now.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23Let's count down again.

0:08:23 > 0:08:24- ALL:- Three,

0:08:24 > 0:08:25two, one...

0:08:25 > 0:08:27blastoff!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29BALLOON PARPS

0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Woo-hee! - How was that, Miss Mouse?

0:08:32 > 0:08:36- AS MISS MOUSE:- "Like being on the fastest funfair ride ever."

0:08:36 > 0:08:38And it doesn't stop there, Miss Mouse.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41As the rocket zooms faster and faster,

0:08:41 > 0:08:43I'll be pushed right back into my seat.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46To train for that, we ride on a spinning machine.

0:08:46 > 0:08:49It makes you feel the same feelings

0:08:49 > 0:08:51as a really fast rocket launch.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Your turn, Miss Mouse.

0:08:56 > 0:09:00- AS MISS MOUSE:- "Stand back, everybody! Training in progress."

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Oh, look at Miss Mouse go.

0:09:07 > 0:09:12- How does it feel, Miss Mouse?- "Very fast. Oh, I'm pinned in my seat.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15"I feel like I'm being pulled back down to Earth."

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Well done, everyone. Training level one - complete.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22Training level two - prepare to float.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24- ALL:- Prepare to float!

0:09:24 > 0:09:29When the rocket has blasted high enough to escape Earth's gravity,

0:09:29 > 0:09:31everything will float, including me.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34CHATTER ON RADIO

0:09:34 > 0:09:37It's a bit like being underwater, so to train for this

0:09:37 > 0:09:41I've been practising doing lots of things in a swimming pool,

0:09:41 > 0:09:45like fixing things and wearing my spacesuit.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49ASTRONAUT BREATHES HEAVILY

0:09:49 > 0:09:53Your turn, Miss Mouse. Training level two.

0:09:53 > 0:09:57Float. Float. Float. Float.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00We're underwater.

0:10:02 > 0:10:04Float. Float. Float.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Float.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Excellent floating, Miss Mouse.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12You're ready for the final stage of training - training level three,

0:10:12 > 0:10:14pack your suitcase.

0:10:14 > 0:10:16- ALL:- Pack your suitcase!

0:10:16 > 0:10:20I'll be doing lots of experiments on the Space Station,

0:10:20 > 0:10:24but I also need to do all the things we do every day, like eating,

0:10:24 > 0:10:26sleeping and going to the toilet.

0:10:26 > 0:10:29So, I need to pack everything I need.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31What shall we pack for Miss Mouse?

0:10:31 > 0:10:33- Clothes.- Oh, yes, good idea.

0:10:34 > 0:10:37Astronauts spend a long time on the Space Station,

0:10:37 > 0:10:42so it's definitely a good idea to have clean socks.

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Something for a wash.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Oh, yes. Astronauts wash with baby wipes.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Why don't you think they use water to wash?

0:10:49 > 0:10:51Cos the water will float away.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Oh, yes. Thank you, Reggie.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55But what else shall we pack?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57A sleeping bag.

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Oh, thanks, Keira.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03There, we can stick Miss Mouse's sleeping bag onto the wall.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05Space Station training complete.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Well done, Miss Mouse. Well done, stargazers.

0:11:08 > 0:11:12I'm sending you your very own mission patches,

0:11:12 > 0:11:14just like mine, to say "thank you".

0:11:14 > 0:11:17- ALL:- Wow, thanks, Tim!

0:11:17 > 0:11:22- Bye, Miss Mouse. Bye, stargazers. - AS MISS MOUSE:- "Over and out."

0:11:24 > 0:11:28Excellent work, stargazers, and astronaut Miss Mouse.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31You can join in with astronaut Tim's mission to

0:11:31 > 0:11:33the International Space Station

0:11:33 > 0:11:35by printing off a mission patch

0:11:35 > 0:11:38just like his from the stargazing

0:11:38 > 0:11:41page of the CBeebies website.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43Why not colour it in

0:11:43 > 0:11:46like the stargazers are doing right now?

0:11:46 > 0:11:49- I'm colouring mine in on the ceiling.- Me, too.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53Like we're in the International Space Station.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56Oh, they're looking brilliant.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59You could wear them underneath the stars.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Let's get cosy underneath the stars

0:12:07 > 0:12:09for tonight's Starlight Story.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17# Starlight scattered through the dark

0:12:21 > 0:12:24# Painting stories for us all

0:12:28 > 0:12:32# Gather underneath the stars

0:12:34 > 0:12:39# And hear their wonders told

0:12:41 > 0:12:44# Looking up into the dark

0:12:44 > 0:12:48# The night it yours and it is mine

0:12:48 > 0:12:51# Looking up into the dark

0:12:51 > 0:12:55# The dark upon us all

0:12:55 > 0:12:58# Upon us all the stars will shine

0:12:58 > 0:13:03# Upon us all the stars

0:13:03 > 0:13:06# Will shine. #

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Look up there.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12- KIDS:- Ursa Major - the Great Bear.

0:13:13 > 0:13:17Ursa Major, the Great Bear, wished to paint a picture.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20So, he got out his paints and his brushes, too,

0:13:20 > 0:13:24and started to paint his snowy-white view.

0:13:24 > 0:13:28But Ursa Major soon grew tired of painting snowy scenes,

0:13:28 > 0:13:31so off he blasted on a mission to space,

0:13:31 > 0:13:35where his messy paints floated all over the place.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38A green splat here and a blue splat there,

0:13:38 > 0:13:41changing the colour of the great white bear.

0:13:41 > 0:13:47A friendly astronaut floated by and gave him paint in tubes.

0:13:47 > 0:13:53Ursa Major was finally set to paint Earth's beautiful views.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Craggy brown mountains and red desert sands.

0:13:57 > 0:14:02Sparkling blue oceans and green forest lands.

0:14:02 > 0:14:06City lights twinkling like stars at night.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10The bear painted the Earth with colours so bright.

0:14:16 > 0:14:21We'd love to see you joining in with Tim's mission, so, please,

0:14:21 > 0:14:25ask a grown-up to take a picture of you wearing Tim's mission patch

0:14:25 > 0:14:28and upload it to the CBeebies website.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31Ready, stargazers?

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- ALL:- Thumbs up, Tim!

0:14:34 > 0:14:36CAMERA CLICKS

0:14:36 > 0:14:39We'll see you tomorrow for more stargazing.

0:14:39 > 0:14:40Bye-bye.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42- ALL:- Bye.
