HOWDY ASTRONOMATES TRACE HERE.
SPACE IS VERY LARGE, EVEN IN OUR
LOCAL NEIGHBORHOOD.

00:10.700 --> 00:15.033 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
HIT THE DARKNESS AROUND ONE AM
ON NOVEMBER 25th AND LOOK WEST
FOR THE NEARLY-FULL MOON. NEXT
TO

00:15.033 --> 00:18.966 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
IT IS WHAT LOOKS LIKE A YELLOW
STAR, BUT THAT'’’S JUPITER! THE
LARGEST PLANET IN OUR SOLAR
SYSTEM.

00:18.966 --> 00:22.766 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
DISTANCES IN SPACE ARE TOUGH TO
GRASP. RIGHT NOW THE MOON IS
230,000 MILES FROM

00:22.766 --> 00:27.066 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
EARTH. BUT JUPITER IS 378
MILLION MILES AWAY THAT'’’S 1500
TIMES

00:27.066 --> 00:27.766 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
FURTHER. (NOT TO MENTION JUPITER
IS THOUSANDS OF TIMES LARGER).

00:27.766 --> 00:30.366 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
IF YOU USE JUPITER AND THE MOON
AS AN ARROW LOOK FOR THE GREAT

00:30.366 --> 00:32.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
SQUARE OF PEGASUS AND
THE STAR ALPHERATZ.

00:32.700 --> 00:38.200 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
ALPHERATZ IS 97 LIGHT-YEARS
AWAY, OR 570 TRILLION MILES
AWAY,

00:38.200 --> 00:42.566 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
MEANING AT LIGHT SPEED IT WOULD
TAKE NEARLY A CENTURY TO GET TO
ALPHERATZ!

00:42.566 --> 00:46.466 align:left position:10% line:71% size:80%
THE MOON AND PLANETS ARE VERY
VERY FAR AND YET, EACH TWINKLE
OF EVERY STAR YOU SEE AT NIGHT
HAS

00:46.466 --> 00:50.500 align:left position:10% line:77% size:80%
TRAVELED TRILLIONS OF MILES TO
REACH YOUR EYES. SPACE DISTANCES
ARE LITERALLY ASTRONOMICAL!

00:50.500 --> 00:59.733 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
KEEP LOOKING UP!
