0:00:02 > 0:00:03Hello, Stargazers!
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Welcome back to Stargazing Park.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Chris, Stargazers!
0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hi, Maggie!
0:00:09 > 0:00:12Prepare for launch.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Prepare for launch?
0:00:13 > 0:00:16Yes, who wants to go on a space mission?
0:00:16 > 0:00:17- ALL:- Me!
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Oh, yes. Me too!
0:00:19 > 0:00:22And why don't you come with us?
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Right, let's do a countdown.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Five,
0:00:25 > 0:00:26four,
0:00:26 > 0:00:27three,
0:00:27 > 0:00:28two,
0:00:28 > 0:00:30one - lift-off!
0:00:37 > 0:00:40# We're on a mission to explore
0:00:40 > 0:00:44# The wonders of the stars above us all
0:00:44 > 0:00:46# Planet stars and more, they're for us to find
0:00:46 > 0:00:49# When we look up high
0:00:49 > 0:00:50# Here we go!
0:00:51 > 0:00:55# We're going stargazing
0:00:55 > 0:00:58# Gaze at stars shining bright
0:00:58 > 0:01:01# We're going stargazing
0:01:01 > 0:01:05# Spot a zooming satellite
0:01:05 > 0:01:08# We're going stargazing
0:01:08 > 0:01:11# Glimpse the Moon and the planets above
0:01:11 > 0:01:15# We're going stargazing
0:01:15 > 0:01:17# So just look up
0:01:17 > 0:01:20# Look up, look up! #
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Welcome to Mission Control!
0:01:35 > 0:01:38This all looks amazing, Maggie, what's it for?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40It's for a very special mission.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43But first, I've got a surprise for you.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- Come in, Tim.- Receiving you loud and clear, Maggie.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hi, Stargazers, hi, Chris.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51Oh, wow, look who it is!
0:01:51 > 0:01:52- KIDS:- Tim Peake.
0:01:52 > 0:01:55It's astronaut Tim Peake, who's been on a mission
0:01:55 > 0:01:58to the International Space Station.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- Great to see you, Tim. - Welcome back to Earth!
0:02:01 > 0:02:04Thanks very much, Maggie. And look who's back, too.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Oh, wow, it's Miss Mouse!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Hooray!
0:02:08 > 0:02:12Tim's going to tell us about his mission into space.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13How exciting is that?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Now, who has a question for astronaut Tim Peake?
0:02:16 > 0:02:20How many seats are there in a rocket?
0:02:20 > 0:02:23So in the Soyuz rocket, there are three seats
0:02:23 > 0:02:25and I was in the right-hand seat.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Where did you sleep?
0:02:26 > 0:02:29On the Space Station, everyone has a crew quarter.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It's about the size of an old telephone box,
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- that's where we sleep. - What did you see in space?
0:02:35 > 0:02:38When you're in space, Earth looks really huge.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43You can actually see about 2,000 kilometres in any direction,
0:02:43 > 0:02:45it's absolutely beautiful.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47What's the best bit of your mission?
0:02:47 > 0:02:50For me, the best part and the most exciting
0:02:50 > 0:02:53was getting the opportunity to do a spacewalk.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58Going outside in a spacesuit and helping to fix the Space Station.
0:02:58 > 0:03:02I've got a question for you, how did Miss Mouse get on
0:03:02 > 0:03:05on her mission to the International Space Station?
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Miss Mouse did a fantastic job, Chris.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11She floated around the International Space Station
0:03:11 > 0:03:15like an expert astronaut and was a first-class space explorer.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Oh, I am delighted to hear that. Well done, Miss Mouse!
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Hooray!
0:03:21 > 0:03:24So, who would like to be a space explorer
0:03:24 > 0:03:26like Tim Peake and Miss Mouse?
0:03:26 > 0:03:27Me!
0:03:27 > 0:03:29Excellent.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Maggie and I have got a special mission for you
0:03:32 > 0:03:36and Stargazers everywhere. It's called Mission Explore.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39There are so many things you find out about the universe
0:03:39 > 0:03:42- from here on planet Earth. - So every day this week,
0:03:42 > 0:03:46I'm going to set you a mission to find out something about space.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50And if we do well, Tim will give us a thumbs up.
0:03:50 > 0:03:51I certainly will.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Thanks, Tim. See you later.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Bye!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Bye.
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Who knows what every space mission needs?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06- Mission Control.- Just like this one.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11This is a picture of Mission Control for the International Space Station.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13What's happening here?
0:04:13 > 0:04:17- They launch the rocket and make sure it goes smoothly.- That's right.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20- Does anyone know what this is? - A map of the Earth.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Yes, this map tells us where the International Space Station
0:04:24 > 0:04:25is above the Earth.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Stargazers, can you help me check that everything's working
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- in our Mission Control?- Yes!
0:04:32 > 0:04:33Running map checks.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Map...go!
0:04:36 > 0:04:41Oh, look at that, it's as if our whole country is covered in stars.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45That's right, those stars are Stargazers, just like you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48We'll be hearing from Stargazers across the country,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52exploring the night sky. And I'll be giving you lots of ideas
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- of how you can join in with Mission Explore.- What's that, Maggie?
0:04:56 > 0:05:01That's the Sky Station, I've sent someone on an expedition there.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04- Running Sky Station checks. - Sky Station...go!
0:05:17 > 0:05:19Mission Control,
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Robert the Robot, reporting for duty.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Ha-ha-ha! I'm so excited!
0:05:24 > 0:05:26I'm SO excited!
0:05:26 > 0:05:30I mean, look at the amazing place that Maggie has sent me to!
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Hee-hee-hee!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Ahem. To do some very serious space exploring.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yes, welcome to the Sky Station.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41It's in the middle of a forest in the northeast of England,
0:05:41 > 0:05:44far away from the bright lights of cities and towns.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46So the sky is very, very dark.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49Which means we can see lots and lots and lots
0:05:49 > 0:05:52and lots and lots and lots and lots...
0:05:52 > 0:05:54Basically, we're going to see a lot of stars.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Now all we need are some Stargazers.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Hi, Robert.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Oh, this is going to be the best week ever!
0:06:03 > 0:06:05Back to you, Mission Control.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13See you later, Robert.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Now, I think it's time we got this mission started,
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- don't you, Stargazers?- Yes!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22This is deep, dark space.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Now, can anyone find planet Earth in deep, dark space?
0:06:30 > 0:06:31There.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35Today's mission is to see what else you can find in space.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Mission Explore is...go!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40Hooray!
0:06:40 > 0:06:41BEEPING
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Look, the Sky Station is calling.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Robert, you are go.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Copy that, Mission Control.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51We've found the Earth already.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52Excellent work, Angus.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Let's blast off into space and see what else we can find.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Three, two,
0:06:58 > 0:07:00one - blast off!
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Oh! What have you found?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13- The Moon!- The Moon, really?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16It's the Earth's next-door neighbour.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19It takes three days to get there.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- Three days?!- Yes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Oh, drop me dials, that's a very long way to go
0:07:24 > 0:07:26if you need to borrow a cup of sugar
0:07:26 > 0:07:30for making a delicious lemon fizzle drizzle cake.
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Come on, Robert.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34Oh, yes! Coming!
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Look, planets.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42Look at the planets.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Oh, Angus, look, why don't we stop and admire
0:07:45 > 0:07:47the planets in our Solar System?
0:07:47 > 0:07:50There's Jupiter and Saturn, it's a lovely view.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52No time, Robert. Come on.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Oh, oh, yes, coming, coming.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Oh, dear.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Watch out for the Kuiper belt, Robert.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03What's the Kuiper belt?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08It's a load of rocks and ice left over from when the planets formed.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Oh! Oh, yes, I see.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14But look at this one, it looks like it's got a heart on it.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17- What is it?- Pluto.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Wow! So we've found the Moon, planets, the Kuiper belt, Pluto.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24I wonder if we'll ever find another star like our sun?
0:08:24 > 0:08:27I mean, space is meant to be full of stars.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29You'll have to travel at the speed of light.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33I thought we were going through space pretty quickly already.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35I'm not sure I CAN go any faster.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Come on, Robert.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40All right, I'm coming!
0:08:42 > 0:08:44GIGGLING
0:08:49 > 0:08:52I'm zipping at the speed of light!
0:08:52 > 0:08:53Ooh, look, a star!
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Oh, oh!
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Stargazers, that was amazing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03We found a star!
0:09:03 > 0:09:06It gets even better, Robert, look.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09Galloping galaxies, it's the Milky Way.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12Our home galaxy, full of stars.
0:09:12 > 0:09:17Oh, Maggie is going to be so proud that we managed to find the Moon,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19planets, the Kuiper belt...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23..a star,
0:09:23 > 0:09:24the Milky Way...
0:09:26 > 0:09:28But it's not over yet, Stargazers,
0:09:28 > 0:09:32hold on to your hats, initiating deep space systems.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Stargazers, I give you...the universe!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39Filled with galaxies, stars and planets.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42- A big cheer!- Hooray!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Back to you, Mission Control.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Excellent exploring, Stargazers.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Can we find any of the things that Robert and the Stargazers found?
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Let's have a look.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58Oh, what have you got there?
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- A galaxy. - Now, what are galaxies made of?
0:10:01 > 0:10:05Million, billions and trillions of stars.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07What else can we see?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Pluto!- That's right, it's Pluto.
0:10:09 > 0:10:14- Can we see anything special on Pluto?- That big, yellow heart.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16So, what else have we got?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19- Ooh!- Mars.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- Now, what's Mars?- A planet. - A planet, that's right.
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I wonder if we'll spot any of those things in the sky tonight.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29I'll go and check and see if it's getting dark.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Look, it's getting dark!
0:10:40 > 0:10:42Let's explore the night sky.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Look up there...
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I see lots of black and grey clouds.
0:10:49 > 0:10:50Ah!
0:10:51 > 0:10:55Grey clouds and black clouds come in the way
0:10:55 > 0:11:00and it covers all the stars and planets that you want to see.
0:11:00 > 0:11:05We can find the planet Venus if we look very carefully
0:11:05 > 0:11:07when the clouds are gone.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11And maybe you can give a little wave just before you go to bed.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19That is mission complete, and it's a thumbs up from me.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21And it's a thumbs up from me.
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Yay!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Who's ready for a starlight story?
0:11:26 > 0:11:28Me!
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Come on, let's get cosy for tonight's story under the stars,
0:11:32 > 0:11:34even though they're hiding.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45So, are you getting nice and cosy under the blanket of clouds?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Yes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50Oh, if we could blow the clouds away,
0:11:50 > 0:11:53what stars would come out to play?
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Well, up above the clouds are five stars
0:11:56 > 0:12:01that make the shape of the letter W.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02- ALL:- One,
0:12:02 > 0:12:03two,
0:12:03 > 0:12:04three,
0:12:04 > 0:12:05four,
0:12:05 > 0:12:07five.
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- Now, those five stars are a queen called...- Cassiopea.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16That's right, it's Cassiopea the Queen.
0:12:16 > 0:12:19Cassiopea the Queen wished to go exploring.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23You see, Cassiopea the Queen found sitting on her throne
0:12:23 > 0:12:25so very boring.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29"I'll go on a trip, a Royal Tour," the Queen, she did decree.
0:12:29 > 0:12:34"To visit my kingdom, the universe, there must be plenty to see."
0:12:34 > 0:12:38So Cassiopea set sail through the solar system,
0:12:38 > 0:12:41past planets, to the Kuiper belt.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46There, she was greeted by crowds of rocks and ice too cold to melt.
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Cassiopea sailed on at the speed of light,
0:12:50 > 0:12:55zipping past stars, a magnificent sight.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57Waving to galaxies made the Queen smile,
0:12:57 > 0:13:03as onwards she travelled, mile after mile after mile.
0:13:03 > 0:13:06Billions and billions of galaxies sped by,
0:13:06 > 0:13:11as Cassiopea toured the spectacular sky.
0:13:11 > 0:13:15But soon, the Queen wished to be back home, sitting,
0:13:15 > 0:13:18relaxing on her comfortable throne.
0:13:27 > 0:13:31Well, thank you for helping us explore the night sky, Maggie.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34It was great to get an update from Tim Peake.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36It's been my pleasure, Chris.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Who would like a mini mission to do before going to bed?
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Me!
0:13:41 > 0:13:45See what's the brightest thing you can spot in the night sky.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48You never know, the clouds might clear.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52You can let us know how you get on with Maggie's mission
0:13:52 > 0:13:56by going on the CBeebies website and clicking on Stargazing.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Ask a grown-up to upload a picture or video of you
0:14:00 > 0:14:03spotting bright things in the night sky.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06And if it's cloudy like it is here,
0:14:06 > 0:14:09then draw a picture of the things you might have seen.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11We can't wait to hear from you.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15We'll see you tomorrow for more Stargazing.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17- Goodbye!- Bye!
