Space Explorer Adventure ‍ Rockets, Stars and Planets

[00:00:00]Hello my astronauts. Today we're visiting space.

[00:00:04]We're going to mold, color, learn, and play on our space trip. So, fasten your seat belts. Our journey starts right now. Where is our first stop? Let's start with purple.

[00:00:18]You can see it a lot in the dark sky.

[00:00:20]The farther we fly away, the darker the colors around are.

[00:00:26]Some places are so dark and quiet, [music] you can't see or hear a thing.

[00:00:33]But you know what you can do?

[00:00:35]Smell.

[00:00:36]What do you think the space smells like?

[00:00:39]Some astronauts say it smells like a burnt steak or hot metal. [music] Is it yuck or yum?

[00:00:47]It's certainly yuck for me.

[00:00:49]I want the space to smell like a strawberry milkshake. The next color is blue.

[00:00:56]>> [music] >> It's also a very popular color in space.

[00:00:59]Some planets also wear blue colors like our planet Earth.

[00:01:04]Now, imagine a neighborhood filled [music] with planets, stars, and shining space dust.

[00:01:11]This is called a galaxy.

[00:01:14]Our galaxy is called the Milky Way, and it looks like a giant spiral.

[00:01:23]There are so many galaxies in space that we can't count them all.

[00:01:27]They come in different [music] shapes and sizes, too.

[00:01:33]Let's fill in our Milky Way with stars and planets.

[00:01:37]The next color is beige.

[00:01:41]Beige is a color of rocks, dust, and gases.

[00:01:45]For example, look at the planet Saturn here.

[00:01:48]It is covered with icy, windy clouds that look beige from space.

[00:01:53]Friends, our first stop is over. Hop back in the spaceship.

[00:01:58]Very nice.

[00:02:01]Let's do a big space [music] jump. And now, we're on the next stop.

[00:02:06]Purple color is back.

[00:02:08]Now, hold on to something tight [music] cuz we're going to move near a black hole.

[00:02:13]Imagine a super strong invisible vacuum cleaner. It can pull everything nearby inside.

[00:02:20]Let's move to this pretty galaxy.

[00:02:22]It looks small because it is far, far away from the black hole.

[00:02:28]The next color is orange. Check out this fire tail.

[00:02:33]It's the tail of a comet, a big rock flying in space. Comets are very fast [music] space runners. They can move faster than a race car or an airplane.

[00:02:44]The next color is blue.

[00:02:47]You know what we're going to do now?

[00:02:48]>> Yes.

[00:02:49]>> Stand up and do a big stretch. Come on, don't be shy.

[00:02:54]Well done. Now, try jumping as high as possible.

[00:02:59]Can you feel something like a rubber band pulling you back to the ground?

[00:03:05]This is called gravity. There is no gravity in space.

[00:03:10]So, astronauts float around in spaceships.

[00:03:14]And without gravity, you may also grow [music] 2 in taller.

[00:03:19]Don't forget to check your height after the end of our trip.

[00:03:23]Living without gravity and flying sounds fun, right? Just remember to tie the beds and keep food on magnets or it'll flow away in space.

[00:03:31]>> [music] >> Now, a magic gravity glue sounds like fun, too.

[00:03:38]The next color is green.

[00:03:41]This guy is traveling in space, too.

[00:03:44]It's an alien living on another planet or star. [music] Say goodbye and space jump here.

[00:03:52]Wow, look at that.

[00:03:55]The next color is light blue.

[00:03:58]It reminds me of ice and the space is very cold.

[00:04:03]If an astronaut walks out in space, they wear a special costume to keep them warm and safe.

[00:04:09]And if they stay in space for too long, they also wear a space diaper.

[00:04:14]>> [music] >> Would you like to have one?

[00:04:17]There are also things you can't do in space, like drinking fizzy soda.

[00:04:23]All the bubbles stay in your tummy and you can get sick.

[00:04:27]And you also can't eat crunchy snacks cuz the crumbs can start floating around and break tools.

[00:04:35]There are the things astronauts should do, like do sports to keep their muscles strong. [music] Also, they should use wet wipes because there is no shower in spaceships.

[00:04:48][music] You can get smelly very fast.

[00:04:52]But when you look at the illuminator, it's all worth it.

[00:04:57]The astronaut [music] job is hard but awesome. The next color is brown.

[00:05:03]It's a color of big chunks of rock or metal flying in space. They're called [music] asteroids.

[00:05:10]This is orange. We know this color already.

[00:05:14]See this flying thing here?

[00:05:16]It doesn't look like a plane or a bird.

[00:05:19]It's called a UFO and this is an alien spaceship. Remember that green guy with antennas we've met? He uses it to visit friendly planets and galaxies.

[00:05:32]It looks a bit like a bowl with a lid, don't you think? That's why it's called a flying saucer.

[00:05:40]And what is this big flying pencil here?

[00:05:45]It's a rocket, a flying car for traveling in space.

[00:05:50]It flies up on a strong power of fire and smoke. They push the rocket far above the clouds.

[00:05:56]The next color is yellow.

[00:05:59]We use it to color the heavy rocket body. In space, it becomes weightless.

[00:06:06]By the way, animals traveled in rockets, too. Who was the first animal to travel in space?

[00:06:14]It was a cute dog named Laika. Find it watching through the round illuminator.

[00:06:21]The next color is red.

[00:06:24]How many red wings does our rocket have?

[00:06:29]One, two, and three.

[00:06:34]Look, >> [music] >> what do you think this astronaut is smiling at?

[00:06:40]We need to complete the whole picture to find this out.

[00:06:43]So, stay tuned till the end.

[00:06:48]Now, let's play a game. Show a rocket.

[00:06:52]And then a flying saucer.

[00:06:55]Friends, here is our last space stop.

[00:06:59]Let's go.

[00:07:00]>> Yay!

[00:07:01]>> The first color is light blue.

[00:07:05]Look, we're getting closer to a big planet.

[00:07:09]It's like a giant ball spinning in space. A planet can be made of rocks, gas, ice, or metal. Some planets have friends who fly around and never leave them.

[00:07:23]They're called satellites.

[00:07:25]Our home planet has one [music] satellite called the moon.

[00:07:30]You can see it in the night sky. It's big and glowing white or yellow. It can look like a ball or a banana.

[00:07:37]The first astronauts traveled to the moon almost 60 years ago. [music] They wore the same spacesuits you see here.

[00:07:46]The astronauts even played golf on the moon. The ball could fly very, very far because it was weightless in space.

[00:07:55]The next color is orange.

[00:07:59]Wow, look. We're going to see what this alien planet looks like.

[00:08:05]The orange color looks hot and bright.

[00:08:07][music] It reminds me of fire or a tangerine.

[00:08:12]Here is yellow.

[00:08:15]What yellow color reminds you of?

[00:08:18]Sun, lemon, cheese, banana.

[00:08:22]Hey, maybe it is a fruit planet.

[00:08:25]Wait, can you see these high mountains?

[00:08:27]Sometimes they sneeze and a hot, fiery liquid comes [music] out.

[00:08:33]They are called volcanoes.

[00:08:37]Here comes a brown color for volcano peaks.

[00:08:41]And the red color for hot liquid called lava.

[00:08:46]When it flows, >> [music] >> it looks like a glowing hot river.

[00:08:51]So, we visited four different [music] parts of the space. Good job, friends.

[00:08:57]>> [screaming] >> Now we start the last mission to complete the whole space picture.

[00:09:01]Which part goes first?

[00:09:04]Let's connect [music] these two images, one on top of another.

[00:09:11]Wow, all the planets, stars, and galaxies got aligned.

[00:09:17]Now we [music] place this image on top.

[00:09:22]It got even more colorful and our alien landed right in its flying saucer.

[00:09:28]The final [music] touch, and here is the beautiful space picture we've made together.

[00:09:35]Wow. [screaming] Say goodbye to the volcano planet.

[00:09:39]>> [music] >> Our trip is ending, but let's remember what we've seen today.

[00:09:44]The astronaut.

[00:09:46]The planets.

[00:09:48]The alien.

[00:09:50]>> [music] >> The rocket.

[00:09:54]Well done. Thank you for the playdate, and see you in the next video.

[00:09:59]>> [music] >> Hi friends. Today we'll learn about the solar system.

[00:10:04]A place in space where we all live.

[00:10:07]First, let's draw the sun, our bright star.

[00:10:12]The sun is extremely hot, so we'll draw many [music] flames surrounding it, like this. If you look at it, it usually looks yellow, like cheese.

[00:10:22]Tell me, >> [music] >> how does a sunny day make you feel?

[00:10:26]Warm, hot, awesome.

[00:10:30]The sun gives us light and heat every day.

[00:10:33]People, animals, plants, all need sunlight to live and grow.

[00:10:39]Without the sun, our planet Earth would be very dark and cold. The sun may look small up in the sky because [music] it is very far away.

[00:10:48]Do you want to know how big it really [music] is?

[00:10:53]The sun is so big that it can fit more than 1 million Earths.

[00:11:00]It's made of very hot gases. They move and create storms that look like big explosions.

[00:11:07]Here is our mini sun.

[00:11:10]Let's place it in the center of our map.

[00:11:13]All the planets of our solar system move on their own path around the sun and never leave it.

[00:11:18]>> Wow.

[00:11:20]>> Shall we meet the planets nearest to the sun next?

[00:11:25]These planets are Mercury and Venus.

[00:11:29]Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the smallest one among the others.

[00:11:35]It looks like a rocky world with many holes.

[00:11:38]And here is Venus. This planet sort of looks orange. It has many hot volcanoes and rocky places. Its sky is always covered with gloomy clouds. Doesn't sound like [music] a friendly planet, does it?

[00:11:53]If you want to see a planet in the sky, Venus is the easiest to find.

[00:11:59]Just search for a very bright, small, orange ball there. And what about its neighbor, Mercury? It stays so close to the sun, [music] so it's hard to spot it in the sky. It has dusty, rough land, hot days, and very cold nights.

[00:12:15]Doesn't sound like the best planet to live on.

[00:12:18]Let's place the mini Mercury in its place in our puzzle.

[00:12:22]And here is our morning star.

[00:12:26]No joke. This is another name of Venus [music] because it's so bright.

[00:12:32]A day on Venus is longer than its year.

[00:12:34]Sounds wild, right? It's because it spins around its axis more slowly than it orbits [music] the sun.

[00:12:42]And still, it looks so chill and beautiful, right?

[00:12:46]Okay, Venus. You've shown us what you've got. You can go take your place in our puzzle now.

[00:12:53]Friends, we keep moving farther from the sun. I wonder what's waiting for us out there.

[00:13:01]Hmm, it looks very familiar.

[00:13:05]Hey.

[00:13:07]We have two space objects here, the Earth and the Moon. The Moon is our closest space neighbor. It is a satellite that travels around our planet. Our home, the Earth, [music] is the only planet we know of that has life on it.

[00:13:23]Most of it is covered with oceans, which is why it looks blue from space.

[00:13:30]And it has lands and mountains that we will color green.

[00:13:34]Earth has many different kinds of weather and places to live in, too.

[00:13:40]So, [music] where is the place for our mini moon on the map?

[00:13:44]Here it is.

[00:13:45]And what about the Earth?

[00:13:47]We can't leave it without a short tour, can we? Our planet spins on its axis, creating day and night.

[00:13:56]One full spin takes 24 hours, or one full day.

[00:14:02]Earth has strong gravity, which is why we can walk without floating away in space.

[00:14:09]It is also surrounded by electronic satellites that help the internet, [music] maps, and other gadgets work.

[00:14:16]The Earth takes third place from the Sun. So, this is where it goes in our puzzle.

[00:14:22]Friends, are [music] you having fun?

[00:14:24]Let's keep going.

[00:14:26]We're moving to the next planet called Mars.

[00:14:29]Mars is often called the red planet [music] because of its color. I'm going to use some brownish colors to make our picture [music] bright.

[00:14:38]Have you ever seen orange-brown flakes covering iron objects?

[00:14:43]It's called rust.

[00:14:44]Well, Mars is all covered with the rusty [music] dust, and that's where the red color comes from. This planet has many mountains, valleys, and plains, just like our Earth. It also has the largest volcano.

[00:14:59]But, don't worry, it's been calm and quiet for a very long time.

[00:15:03]Do you think Mars is a hot or a cold planet?

[00:15:07]Actually, it's very cold. First, because it's quite far from the Sun.

[00:15:12]And second, because [music] the warmth escapes into space very quickly.

[00:15:18]And here is what Mars [music] looks like. Like a big red ball. The red dust storms there are so big that you can't see anything else. That's why people only send robots [music] to Mars to explore it. They're controlled by scientists on Earth almost like in a video game. They can see everything on their screens. Robots drive across rocky land, take pictures of [music] interesting objects, and send them back to Earth. Someday, people might learn if life can exist there. Let's find a place on the map for our mini Mars.

[00:15:57]Here. It's the fourth planet [music] from the Sun. Now, we're ready to move even farther into space. I'm so excited about what we'll find next.

[00:16:07]>> [music] >> And you? Let me just put a few tiny stars here and there, and we'll keep going.

[00:16:14]This new planet is called Jupiter. Check out this [music] big guy. It's the biggest planet in our solar system.

[00:16:22]Just imagine, [music] more than a thousand Earths could fit inside it. It is called a gas [music] giant because it is made of gas. It's too far away, so no one has ever smelled Jupiter directly, but [music] scientists say it may smell like rotten eggs and strong cleaning fluid.

[00:16:39]Yuck.

[00:16:41]It looks like it's all covered with colorful [music] stripes.

[00:16:44]These are the clouds that move very fast.

[00:16:48]Winds on Jupiter are so strong that they can blow much faster than hurricanes on our Earth. It's not the best place for a joyful trip.

[00:16:57]Check out how fast Jupiter [music] spins.

[00:17:00]That's why one day here lasts only 10 hours.

[00:17:04]Here you see many moons traveling around Jupiter in space.

[00:17:08]It even has the biggest moon in the solar system.

[00:17:13]So, this mini Jupiter takes fifth place among the planets. [music] It goes right here.

[00:17:21]The next planet, Saturn, has a very striking feature, the huge, beautiful rings.

[00:17:28]They look like a giant hula hoop around the planet.

[00:17:31]Saturn looks pale yellow or even golden from space.

[00:17:35]These are the colors of its gas clouds.

[00:17:38]Also, [music] it's the second biggest planet after Jupiter. But because it's a gas giant, it's actually much lighter than it looks. And what about the rings?

[00:17:49]They are made of ice pieces, rocks, and space dust. Some ring pieces are tiny like sand grains, and others are big like houses or mountains.

[00:18:00]Can you imagine?

[00:18:01]>> Yes.

[00:18:04]>> This is how Saturn looks from space. It is surrounded by many moons traveling around it.

[00:18:10]One of them, called Titan, is even bigger than the planet Mercury.

[00:18:16]If you look at Saturn from space, the rings look sparkling [music] because they have parts of ice.

[00:18:23]What a pretty planet, isn't it?

[00:18:26]Well, Saturn, you take the sixth place on the map, and it's right here.

[00:18:34]Wow. Take a look at how far [music] we've gone.

[00:18:38]You're doing great, guys. Keep up.

[00:18:41]We're almost at the border of our solar system.

[00:18:45]Only two more planets are left. Ready to learn what's going to be the next one?

[00:18:51]This is Uranus, one of the largest planets.

[00:18:56]It is called an ice giant because it is made of icy blue-green gases.

[00:19:01]It is covered with clouds, too.

[00:19:03]They're very thin.

[00:19:05]So, the planet looks like a smooth blue ball.

[00:19:09]Uranus also has thin rings made of dark rocks and dust.

[00:19:14]Did you notice?

[00:19:16]It's another planet with hula hoops around it. It looks very peaceful and quiet, doesn't it?

[00:19:21]Uranus also has a very [music] special trait.

[00:19:25]It spins in a very unusual way compared with [music] other planets.

[00:19:29]Want to hear it?

[00:19:31]It rolls through space almost on its side like a spinning ball. Uranus [music] doesn't like boring.

[00:19:39]Okay, let's find the place for our mini Uranus. Here it is. The seventh place from the Sun.

[00:19:46]Wow, we've learned so much already. But now, let's make one more space jump to find the last planet of our solar system.

[00:19:55]It is called Neptune.

[00:19:59]Neptune is the icy planet, too.

[00:20:01]It is a big blue planet, even deeper blue than Uranus. It's the coldest planet.

[00:20:08]And [music] it also has the strongest winds.

[00:20:12]The winds here can blow faster than the speed of airplanes.

[00:20:16]Whoa, unbelievable.

[00:20:18]They create huge storms, including one called the Great Dark Spot.

[00:20:24]Ooh. Even its name sounds chilling, doesn't it?

[00:20:27]>> Yes.

[00:20:29]>> Here, you can see that Neptune has thin rings, [music] too.

[00:20:33]They're made of dust and tiny rocks.

[00:20:35]Neptune looks like a bright blue marble in space. Because it is so far away, it takes Neptune [music] more than 100 Earth years to finish one trip around the Sun.

[00:20:48]But it's not lonely because Neptune [music] has many moons around it.

[00:20:53]And here is the mini planet [music] Neptune for our map. It goes in the eighth place right here.

[00:21:00]Wait, friends. Our journey isn't finished yet.

[00:21:03]You know how we see all these twinkling stars in the night sky. But, where do they come from?

[00:21:10]Most stars are not even situated in our solar system.

[00:21:14]Many of them are bigger and brighter than our sun. But, because they're so far away, they look like tiny dots in the sky.

[00:21:23]Some other interesting objects are much closer than these pretty stars.

[00:21:28]The space is full [music] of many space rocks that were too small to become planets.

[00:21:33]So, they just kept floating around the sun.

[00:21:36]These pieces are called asteroids.

[00:21:40]Asteroids are made of rock, metal, or both. Some of them look like giant flying potatoes [music] with bumpy shapes.

[00:21:48]Sometimes pieces break off and become meteors with glowing tails, [music] like this one here.

[00:21:55]Let's place our mini asteroid at a safe distance from our planet Earth.

[00:22:01]Here it is.

[00:22:05]>> [music] >> Friends, we've learned so much today.

[00:22:08]Well done.

[00:22:10]I hope you liked our playdate in space.

[00:22:14]>> [music] >> Bye-bye and see you in the next episodes.

[00:22:16]>> [screaming]
