SAD NEWS TO REPORT.

00:37.470 --> 00:38.371 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
CUE THE SAD MUSIC.

00:38.471 --> 00:39.672 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
WHAT IS IT?

00:39.773 --> 00:42.042 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
OH MY GOSH, IS AN ASTEROID COMING TO DESTROY
THE EARTH?

00:42.142 --> 00:43.376 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
NO.

00:43.476 --> 00:46.713 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
BUT I HATE TO TELL YOU, WE ONLY HAVE A FEW
MORE WEEKS TO

00:46.813 --> 00:48.248 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
SEE SATURN IN THE EVENING SKY.

00:48.348 --> 00:49.249 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
NOOOOOOO!

00:49.349 --> 00:50.483 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
I'M AFRAID SO.

00:50.583 --> 00:51.518 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
YEAH, I KNOW.

00:51.618 --> 00:53.253 align:left position:87.5%,start line:89% size:2.5%
BUT ITS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.

00:53.353 --> 00:57.757 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
IM JUST ALWAYS A LITTLE SAD WHEN MY FAVORITE
PLANET DISAPPEARS BEHIND THE SUN.

00:57.857 --> 01:00.493 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
SATURN IS JUST SUCH A COOL THING TO SEE IN
A TELESCOPE.

01:00.593 --> 01:01.961 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
I KNOW.

01:02.062 --> 01:03.830 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
IT LOOKS SO UNREAL WITH THE RINGS AND THE
MOONS.

01:03.930 --> 01:05.965 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE PUT A STICKER ON THE
END OF THE TELESCOPE.

01:06.066 --> 01:07.901 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
BUT IT IS THE REAL THING.

01:08.001 --> 01:11.104 align:left position:82.5%,start line:89% size:7.5%
SO LETS HEAD OUTSIDE AND FIND SATURN!

01:11.204 --> 01:14.407 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
OKAY, WE HAVE OUR SKIES SET FOR OCTOBER 21ST

01:14.507 --> 01:16.709 align:left position:17.5%,start line:89% size:72.5%
AT 8PM FACING SOUTHWEST.

01:16.810 --> 01:21.247 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
THE MOST NOTICEABLE STAR IN THIS PART OF THE
SKY IS NO STAR AT ALL.

01:21.347 --> 01:24.684 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
ITS MY FAVORITE PLANET, THE AMAZING RINGED
WORLD, SATURN.

01:24.784 --> 01:27.420 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
NOW SATURN DOESNT STAND OUT AS MUCH AS VENUS

01:27.520 --> 01:29.489 align:left position:35%,start line:83% size:55%
OR JUPITER
IN THE NIGHT SKY.

01:29.589 --> 01:32.692 align:left position:70%,start line:83% size:20%
SATURN IS ONLY ABOUT AS BRIGHT AS THE BRIGHTEST
STARS OF SUMMER.

01:32.792 --> 01:36.563 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
AND YOU DEFINITELY CANT SEE THE RINGS WITHOUT
A TELESCOPE - ALTHOUGH DEAN STILL TRIES.

01:36.663 --> 01:37.630 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
NOPE.

01:37.730 --> 01:39.232 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
IM SQUINTING AND
I STILL CANT SEE THEM.

01:39.332 --> 01:40.600 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
JUST LOOK FOR A

01:40.700 --> 01:43.570 align:left position:30%,start line:83% size:60%
PRETTY-BRIGHT,
YELLOW-TINTED STAR THAT DOESNT TWINKLE VERY

01:43.670 --> 01:45.371 align:left position:42.5%,start line:89% size:47.5%
MUCH.

01:45.472 --> 01:49.008 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
NEARBY STARS LIKE ANTARES, JUST ABOVE THE
HORIZON, AND NUNKI OVER THERE WILL TWINKLE

01:49.109 --> 01:50.009 align:left position:40%,start line:89% size:50%
A LOT.

01:50.110 --> 01:51.711 align:left position:82.5%,start line:89% size:7.5%
PLANETS DONT TWINKLE AS MUCH AS STARS.

01:51.811 --> 01:54.114 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
AND YOU CAN ALSO LOOK FOR THE CONSTELLATIONS

01:54.214 --> 01:55.648 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
AROUND SATURN.

01:55.748 --> 01:59.452 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
TO THE LEFT OF SATURN IS A GROUP OF STARS
THAT LOOK LIKE A TEA POT.

01:59.552 --> 02:03.223 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
THATS ACTUALLY THE CENTAUR NAMED SAGITTARIUS
WHO IS

02:03.323 --> 02:04.591 align:left position:22.5%,start line:89% size:67.5%
HALF MAN, HALF HORSE.

02:04.691 --> 02:06.693 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
UP AND TO THE RIGHT OF SATURN YOULL FIND A

02:06.793 --> 02:09.229 align:left position:27.5%,start line:83% size:62.5%
GROUP OF STARS IN
A STRETCHED PENTAGON SHAPE.

02:09.329 --> 02:12.198 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
THAT IS OPHIUCHUS,
THE GREAT MYTHOLOGICAL DOCTOR WHO COULD RAISE

02:12.298 --> 02:14.400 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
THE DEAD AND JUST HAPPENS TO BE HOLDING A
SNAKE.

02:14.501 --> 02:17.570 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
AND JUST BELOW SATURN YOU MAY FIND THE REMNANTS

02:17.670 --> 02:20.640 align:left position:72.5%,start line:89% size:17.5%
OF SCORPIUS THE SCORPION WHO IS SETTING FAST.

02:20.740 --> 02:25.211 align:left position:72.5%,start line:83% size:17.5%
THE BRIGHT STAR ANTARES IS THE SCORPIONS HEART
AND IT'LL BE GONE SOON.

02:25.311 --> 02:28.781 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
WELL, LETS FLY UP TO SATURN REAL QUICKLY AND

02:28.882 --> 02:30.016 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
TAKE A CLOSER LOOK.

02:30.116 --> 02:32.785 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
THROUGH A TELESCOPE YOU MIGHT GET A VIEW OF

02:32.886 --> 02:34.120 align:left position:27.5%,start line:89% size:62.5%
SATURN LIKE THIS.

02:34.220 --> 02:36.923 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
YOU CAN SEE THE RINGS AND ITS BRIGHTEST MOON
NAMED TITAN.

02:37.023 --> 02:39.292 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THROUGH A BETTER TELESCOPE YOU CAN SEE MORE

02:39.392 --> 02:45.131 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
DETAILS IN THE RINGS INCLUDING A GAP - THAT
BLACK RING IN THERE - CALLED CASSINIS DIVISION.

02:45.231 --> 02:49.402 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
PLUS YOU MAY SEE A FEW MORE MOONS LIKE RHEA,
TETHYS, AND DIONE.

02:49.502 --> 02:51.671 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
AND THEN IF YOU COULD'VE HITCHED A RIDE WITH

02:51.771 --> 02:56.009 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
THE CASSINI SPACECRAFT BEFORE IT CRASHED IN
THE PLANET, YOU'D GET VIEWS OF SATURN LIKE

02:56.109 --> 02:57.210 align:left position:42.5%,start line:89% size:47.5%
THESE.

02:57.310 --> 02:59.445 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THERE ARE SO MANY RINGS YOU CANT COUNT EM

02:59.546 --> 03:00.847 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
ALL!
AND WE NOW KNOW OF

03:00.947 --> 03:03.082 align:left position:82.5%,start line:89% size:7.5%
AT LEAST 62 MOONS THAT CIRCLE SATURN.

03:03.183 --> 03:08.421 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
THE PLAY OF LIGHT AND SHADOW ON THE PLANET,
RINGS, AND MOONS IS JUST SPECTACULAR.

03:08.521 --> 03:10.790 align:left position:77.5%,start line:89% size:12.5%
THIS IS WHY SATURN IS MY FAVORITE PLANET!

03:10.890 --> 03:11.958 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
BACK ON THE HORIZON

03:12.058 --> 03:14.394 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
SO NOW WE GET TO THE SAD PART.

03:14.494 --> 03:19.599 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
SATURN IS QUICKLY HEADING AROUND THE SUN AND
SOON WILL NOT BE VISIBLE IN THE EVENING SKY.

03:19.699 --> 03:20.934 align:left position:25%,start line:89% size:65%
YES, THAT IS TRAGIC

03:21.034 --> 03:22.936 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
BUT YOU HAVE A FEW MORE WEEKS TO

03:23.036 --> 03:26.673 align:left position:32.5%,start line:83% size:57.5%
LOOK FOR IT.
AND IF WE ADVANCE TIME TO OCTOBER 22ND CHECK

03:26.773 --> 03:28.608 align:left position:25%,start line:83% size:65%
OUT WHAT IS COMING
INTO VIEW.

03:28.708 --> 03:29.842 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
THE MOON!

03:29.943 --> 03:32.478 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
EXACTLY! AND IF WE MOVE TO OCTOBER 23RD THE

03:32.579 --> 03:35.215 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
WAXING CRESCENT MOON WILL SLIDE EVEN CLOSER
TO SATURN.

03:35.315 --> 03:36.216 align:left position:30%,start line:89% size:60%
AND THAT MEANS

03:36.316 --> 03:37.951 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
CUE THE CONJUNCTION MUSIC!

03:38.051 --> 03:40.320 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
WELL HAVE A MOON-SATURN CONJUNCTION!

03:40.420 --> 03:43.256 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
AND THE PARTY WON'T STOP-- THE NEXT NIGHT

03:43.356 --> 03:47.227 align:left position:75%,start line:83% size:15%
BECAUSE ON OCTOBER 24TH, THE MOON WILL STILL
BE NEAR SATURN.

03:47.327 --> 03:48.628 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
SO THATS STILL A CONJUNCTION?

03:48.728 --> 03:52.432 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
EH, CLOSE ENOUGH FOR YOU.

03:52.532 --> 03:56.202 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
SO DONT WASTE ANOTHER NIGHT THIS MONTH WITHOUT

03:56.302 --> 03:57.937 align:left position:12.5%,start line:89% size:77.5%
LOOKING FOR SATURN IN THE SKY.

03:58.037 --> 04:00.373 align:left position:40%,start line:83% size:50%
JAMES:
IT'LL BE THE BRIGHT, YELLOW, NON-TWINKLING

04:00.473 --> 04:02.408 align:left position:82.5%,start line:89% size:7.5%
LIGHT LOW IN THE SOUTHWEST AFTER DARK.

04:02.508 --> 04:04.377 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
DEAN:
AND IF YOU CAN, GET A VIEW OF IT THROUGH A

04:04.477 --> 04:06.713 align:left position:82.5%,start line:89% size:7.5%
TELESCOPE TO SEE THE BEAUTIFUL RINGS.

04:06.813 --> 04:09.315 align:left position:77.5%,start line:83% size:12.5%
YOU MIGHT DISCOVER THAT ITS YOUR FAVORITE
PLANET TOO.

04:09.415 --> 04:13.415 align:left position:42.5%,start line:83% size:47.5%
BOTH:
KEEP LOOKING UP!
