1
00:00:02,769 --> 00:00:04,671
JAMES: 
THE BIG DIPPER IS IN A GREAT LOCATION FOR

2
00:00:04,771 --> 00:00:05,939
VIEWING ALL MONTH.

3
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:08,008
DEAN: 
THAT'S RIGHT JAMES, AND THE LIGHT FROM SEVERAL

4
00:00:08,108 --> 00:00:11,544
OF THE SEVEN BIG DIPPER STARS TAKE A LIFETIME 
TO GET HERE.

5
00:00:11,644 --> 00:00:14,014
JAMES: 
WHEN WE LOOK AT THE BIG DIPPER, WERE ACTUALLY

6
00:00:14,114 --> 00:00:15,448
LOOKING BACK IN TIME.

7
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:17,984
IT TAKES YEARS FOR STARLIGHT TO REACH EARTH.

8
00:00:18,084 --> 00:00:23,123
IN FACT, THE LIGHT WE SEE FROM THE CLOSEST 
STAR IN THE BIG DIPPER, MEGREZ, LEFT 58 YEARS

9
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:24,624
AGO IN 1960.

10
00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:27,894
DEAN: 
ALIOTH AND PHECDA ARE BOTH ABOUT 83 LIGHT

11
00:00:27,994 --> 00:00:31,164
YEARS AWAY SO THEY LEFT THOSE STARS BACK IN 
1935.

12
00:00:31,264 --> 00:00:34,667
JAMES: 
MIZAR IS 78 LIGHT YEARS AWAY, AND THE LIGHT

13
00:00:34,768 --> 00:00:38,104
WE SEE FROM ALKAID BEGAN ITS JOURNEY 104 YEARS 
AGO.

14
00:00:38,204 --> 00:00:40,974
DEAN: 
THE LAST TWO STARS ARE DUBHE AND MERAK.

15
00:00:41,074 --> 00:00:47,847
MERAK IS 80 LIGHT YEARS FROM EARTH, BUT DUBHE 
IS A WHOPPING 123 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

16
00:00:47,947 --> 00:00:52,152
LOOKING AT THE BIG DIPPER AND THAT OLD, OLD 
STARLIGHT CAN REALLY MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A

17
00:00:52,252 --> 00:00:53,153
TIME TRAVELER.

18
00:00:53,253 --> 00:00:57,253
BOTH: 
KEEP LOOKING UP!
