0:00:02 > 0:00:04# Melody, Melody
0:00:04 > 0:00:08# Listen to the music Let your mind run free
0:00:08 > 0:00:11# Melody, Melody
0:00:11 > 0:00:15# From the castle or the jungle to the Arctic sea
0:00:15 > 0:00:18# You could be as loud as a storm
0:00:18 > 0:00:21# Or quiet as a sigh
0:00:21 > 0:00:23# As dainty as a dance step
0:00:23 > 0:00:27# Or soaring high in the sky
0:00:27 > 0:00:30# Melody, Melody
0:00:31 > 0:00:36# The musical imaginings of Melody. #
0:00:41 > 0:00:44'This building has got round roofs.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47'It's very strange-looking.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50'Mum tells me it's an observatory.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54'It's a place where people can look into space.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00'This is called an orrery.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04'It's a model showing our planets in the solar system.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07'Mum asks me what the big ball in the middle is.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:08The sun.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Yeah, the sun, burning bright -
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and there's Earth, where we live.
0:01:13 > 0:01:17And what about this one, with the rings? What you think that is?
0:01:17 > 0:01:18- Saturn.- Yeah, Saturn.
0:01:18 > 0:01:22- What's the other biggest planet we've got on there?- Jupiter.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26Jupiter, there it is. Look, see these big giant planets there?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28'Mum takes me to a huge room
0:01:28 > 0:01:31'with a great big contraption in the middle.'
0:01:31 > 0:01:35This is the telescope and you have to be very, very careful,
0:01:35 > 0:01:39but if you put your hand up there, you might be able to feel.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- That's where the eye goes. - 'The room has a big, round ceiling.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46'I wonder what our voices might sound like?'
0:01:46 > 0:01:50- Shall we make a big sound, see if it echoes out? Are you ready?- Yeah.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- MELODY AND MUM:- Hello!
0:01:52 > 0:01:53Echoey, isn't it?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58Right, are you ready? We're going to come and sit down.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00And then, I think we're going to get to
0:02:00 > 0:02:02have a little bit of a look at it.
0:02:02 > 0:02:05It's time for the telescope to be checked by Mick.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08First of all, he moves the roof around,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13so the telescope is pointing at the right part of the sky.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Then he makes sure he's looking at the right star.
0:02:22 > 0:02:24Then he turns the telescope on,
0:02:24 > 0:02:29so he can follow the star as it travels across the skies.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35You can see all sorts of things.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Planets,
0:02:37 > 0:02:39the moon,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41and even whole galaxies!
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Mummy, have we got any space music?
0:02:45 > 0:02:49There is a piece of music all about the planets.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Have a listen and see what you think.
0:02:54 > 0:02:59This is Mars, The Bringer Of War, from The Planets by Gustav Holst.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Fudge and I are getting dressed. Can you guess what for?
0:03:03 > 0:03:05We've got boots,
0:03:05 > 0:03:07a special suit and helmets.
0:03:09 > 0:03:14We're astronauts, going into space in a huge rocket.
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Countdown!
0:03:25 > 0:03:31Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
0:03:31 > 0:03:35five, four, three, two, one.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Blast off!
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Meteors!
0:04:16 > 0:04:20It's like being in the middle of a firework display.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21Watch out, Fudge!
0:04:24 > 0:04:25Look!
0:04:28 > 0:04:30A huge, red planet!
0:04:32 > 0:04:34That's Mars.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Oh, no! We'd better stay out of its way.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12BEEP
0:05:12 > 0:05:14THRUSTERS ROAR
0:05:14 > 0:05:16Whew! That was close.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20But look - Mars is heading towards the other planets.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22Let's get a closer look.
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Quick, Fudge!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27FUDGE MEOWS
0:05:41 > 0:05:45The other planets are so beautiful.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Saturn, with all its rings...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51..Jupiter, with the big red spot...
0:05:54 > 0:05:57..and then, the prettiest of all, Earth.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13They all spin together.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24Mars has joined in with their orbit.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29Back to Earth, Astronaut Fudge.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42That music made me think of planets.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44What did it make you think of?
