An animation first shows the sun and several other planets surrounded by a ring of gray specks, and then zooms out to show the entire solar system, represented by light purple dots arranged in a spherical pattern against a night sky. That's why the inner planets formed mostly out of rocky material. So, get ready to blast off with Tim and Moby as they explore our galactic neighborhood! The spherical object is labeled Oort cloud.. An animation shows Mars, with two gray moons orbiting the planet. An animation shows the two X-marks going beyond the termination shock and closer to the heliopause. TIM: Well, not really. No one knows exactly why that is, but some scientists think the planet was knocked around during its early days by some other passing body. An animation shows the spacecraft moving away from the camera into outer space until it eventually disappears. Pluto's orbit intersects with Neptune's. The spiraling pattern transfixes Tim and he falls asleep as Moby looks at the night skies through the binoculars. TIM: Well, the solar system is our home in the galaxy. It's tilted so that it looks like its lying on its side! An animation shows the planets of the solar system. The first is labeled Orcus, the second is labeled Quaoar, and the third, the smallest one, is labeled Varuna.. The heliopause is shown as a dark orange semicircle to the left of the termination shock with a bigger radius than the circle that represents the termination shock.

One shows a close-up of the concentric rings. Then Neptunes orbit is added and an arrow pointing away from Neptune and the sun is added. Contents 1 Summary 2 Appearances 3 Transcript 4 Quiz 5 FYI Comic 6 Gallery Summary While scanning the night sky with a pair of binoculars, Tim is interrupted by Moby, giving him a letter asking if there is a 'Planet X'. It's nearly three times the height of Mount Everest. Terms of Use; Privacy; Trademarks and Copyrights; Accessibility; Do Not Sell My Personal Information TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder. TIM: Others became big balls of mostly gas called gas giants, like Jupiter. In the animation, Mars moves out of view. Text reads: The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby. The first were discovered hundreds of years ago by Galileo Galilei. The last planet shown and its orbit are labeled Planet Upper X. TIM: Pluto has an odd elliptical orbit that sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. Immense gravitational pressure built up at the core of this gigantic clump. An image of the Oort cloud is shown again. TIM: By the way, Pluto isnt the only dwarf planet. An animation shows Moby blink and his eyes turn into a spinning hypnosis spiral which then expands to cover the entire screen. Solar System Discussion Prompts and Pause Points, What do you think youll learn about the solar system in this movie? Text reads: Oort cloud. TIM: On its surface, there's a permanent storm, called the Great Red Spot. TIM: Right, the solar system isn't just planets and the sun there are lots of smaller bodies floating out there, too.

It then zooms out to show a big spherical object composed of light colored particles. But wait, there's more! Astronomers believe that more than 4.5 billion years ago, an exploding star created a huge cloud of gas and dust. Standing next to him is Moby. (, What is something new you hope to learn about the solar system? (, : Why might the outer planets have many more moons orbiting them than the inner planets? Tim goes on to explain about space beyond Neptune, as well as some space probes and planets. TIM: The Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud are areas in the far regions of the solar system where small bodies like comets are thought to originate.
