(LIVELY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

In animation, two aliens fly across space in a spaceship.

Blynk is a rectangular green alien with spiky hair and long fangs.

Aazoo is a round orange alien with 3 eyes.

With the help of M.A.V.I.S., the spaceship computer, and real Earth scientists, they listen to real Earth children's questions and try to find answers.

A song plays that says BLYNK AND AAZOO
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU

The name of the show reads "Blynk and Aazoo. Imagine, investigate, invent!"

(LIVELY ELECTRONIC MUSIC)

(CHEERING)

As Blynk works in the spaceship, Aazoo spins around.

M.A.V.I.S. says WARNING, UNAUTHORIZED MOVEMENT
CREATING WIND IN THE HELM.
RECOMMEND ACTIVITY CEASE.

Aazoo crashes.

(CRASHING)
(BEEPING)

M.A.V.I.S. says INQUIRY BOOTH TRANSMITTING,
INCOMING INQUIRY.

Aazoo grabs its head and says OOH.

A real life boy named Aaron pops up on a screen and says HELLO BLYNK AND AAZOO.
ARE YOU THERE?
I HAVE A QUESTION.

The aliens greet him.

(ALIEN BABBLE)

Aaron is around 10 and has short brown hair. He wears a gray and pink T-shirt.

Aaron says HI, MY NAME IS AARON.
AND I WANNA KNOW, IS IT POSSIBLE
TO CHANGE THE WEATHER?
I HAVE A BIRTHDAY PARTY TOMORROW
AND IT MIGHT GET CANCELED
IF IT RAINS.

M.A.V.I.S. says INVENTION POTENTIAL HIGH.
BRAINSTORM IN PROGRESS.

The aliens discuss.

(CHATTERING)

M.A.V.I.S. says THEY DON'T KNOW WHETHER
IT'S POSSIBLE.
GET IT?
WEATHER?
HA, HA.

The aliens say OH.
(ALIEN BABBLE)

Blynk pushes the question button.

M.A.V.I.S. says CALLING INTERSTELLAR SCIENCE
COUNSEL, CAPTAIN.

A real life scientist named Eugenia pops up on another screen and says HELLO, EUGENIA AT YOUR SERVICE.
WHO CAN I HELP TODAY?

Eugenia is in her thirties, with long braided brown hair and wears a gray V-neck sweater.

Aaron says HI, I'M AARON.
AND I WANNA KNOW HOW TO
CHANGE THE WEATHER
AND MAKE IT SUNNY FOR
MY BIRTHDAY.

Eugenia says AH, CHANGING THE WEATHER.
I CAN DEFINITELY HELP YOU
WITH THAT, AARON.
WHERE DO YOU WANNA START?

Aaron says WELL, WHAT DOES MAKE IT RAIN?

Eugenia says GREAT QUESTION.
BLYNK, WEATHER FILES PLEASE.
SUBCATEGORY, RAIN S'PLAIN.

Blynk plays the files.

Eugenia says WEATHER IS CAUSED BY FOUR
MAIN ELEMENTS.
TEMPERATURE, MOISTURE, PRESSURE,
AND WIND.

M.A.V.I.S. says BECAUSE THE EARTH IS
SHAPED LIKE A GLOBE,
THE SUN'S RAYS HIT THE MIDDLE,
LIKE THE EQUATOR,
MORE DIRECTLY THAN THE TOP AND
BOTTOM, LIKE THE POLES.
THIS MEANS THAT DIFFERENT PARTS
OF THE EARTH
ARE DIFFERENT TEMPERATURES.

Eugenia says AIR PRESSURE IS THE WEIGHT
OF THE AIR.
WHEN THE SUN HEATS THE AIR,
IT GETS LIGHTER,
RISES, AND COLD AIR,
WHICH IS HEAVIER,
SWOOPS IN TO REPLACE IT.
WE CALL THAT SWOOPING COLD
AIR WIND.

Aaron says THE SUN CAUSES THE WIND?

Eugenia says YUP, THE SUN IS KEY TO
ALL OUR WEATHER.
INCLUDING THE AMOUNT OF WATER
VAPOR OR MOISTURE IN THE AIR.

Aaron says DOES THAT MEAN THE SUN CAUSES
THE RAIN TOO?

Eugenia says IT'S A BIG PART OF IT.
RAIN IS FORMED BY WHAT IS KNOWN
AS THE WATER CYCLE.

M.A.V.I.S. says I CALL IT THE HYDROLOGIC CYCLE
BECAUSE I LIKE BIG WORDS.

Eugenia says BLYNK, COULD YOU AND AAZOO
DEMONSTRATE
THE WATER CYCLE FOR OUR
YOUNG FRIEND?

Blynk says UH-HUH.

Eugenia says OKAY GREAT, LET'S START WITH
A LITTLE WATER.
(KEYBOARD CLICKING)

Blynk presses buttons and water splashes over Aazoo.

(SPLASHING)

Eugenia says WELL THAT'S ONE WAY TO
DO IT, I GUESS.

Aazoo plays in the puddle.

Aaron says I DON'T THINK AAZOO MINDS
TOO MUCH.

Eugenia says OKAY, NOW WE'VE GOT TO
ADD SOME HEAT.
BLYNK, HAVE YOU GOT SOMETHING TO
MIMIC THE SUN'S WARMTH?

Blynk directs a light fixture at the puddle and it steams up.

Aazoo says OOH.

Aaron says IT'S STEAMING UP.

Eugenia says IT IS.
WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS
THE SAME EFFECT
AS WHEN HEAT FROM THE SUN TURNS
WATER FROM OCEANS,
LAKES, AND RIVERS,
INTO WATER VAPOR.

M.A.V.I.S. says EVAPORATION.

Eugenia says EXACTLY.
AND WHEN THAT EVAPORATED WATER
CLUMPS TOGETHER
IN THE AIR IT FORMS...

Aaron says A CLOUD.

Aazoo cheers as a cloud forms over its head.

Eugenia says AND IF THOSE CLOUDS ARE
THICK ENOUGH,
THE WATER DROPLETS JOIN UP
AND BECOME BIGGER DROPS
THAT FALL, WHICH WE CALL...

Aaron says RAIN.
AND SNOW IF IT'S COLD?

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
I BELIEVE THIS COMPLETES THE
HYDROLOGIC CYCLE.

Aazoo says UM-HM.

Aaron says OKAY, I HAVE TO STOP THE OCEANS,
THE LAKES,
AND THE RIVERS FROM EVAPORATING?

M.A.V.I.S. says THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
YOU CANNOT.

Eugenia says AND STOPPING THE HYDROLOGIC
CYCLE
WOULDN'T BE A GOOD IDEA EITHER.
RAIN IS VITAL TO LIFE
ON OUR PLANET.

Aaron sighs and says I GUESS I HAVE TO
RESCHEDULE MY PARTY.

Eugenia says NOT SO FAST.
MAYBE THE FORECAST IS WRONG.
DID YOU CHECK IN WITH NATURE?
NATURE GIVES US LOT'S
OF CLUES ABOUT
WHAT THE WEATHER'S GOING
TO BE LIKE.

Aaron says IT DOES?

Eugenia says BLYNK, ANIMAL FILES PLEASE.
SUBCATEGORY, WEATHER PREDICTORS.

M.A.V.I.S. says BEES WILL STAY INSIDE
THEIR HIVE
IF THEY SENSE MOISTURE
IN THE AIR.

Eugenia says AND ANTS WILL MAKE THE SIDES
OF THEIR HILLS
STEEPER WHEN A STORM IS
APPROACHING.

Aaron says SO CLEVER.

Eugenia says THERE IS AN OLD SAYING,
SHEEP IN A HUDDLE,
YOU WILL HAVE A PUDDLE.
IT'S NOT ENTIRELY TRUE,
BUT SHEEP DO SEEM
TO GATHER CLOSE TOGETHER WHEN
A STORM'S COMING.

Aaron says SO I CAN LOOK FOR WEATHER
CLUES IN NATURE,
BUT WHAT CAN HELP ME
STOP THE RAIN?

Eugenia says BLYNK, FUTURE FILES PLEASE.

Blynk blows on a vinyl records and plays it.

Eugenia says SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
AT MAKING IT RAIN
ON CUE BY SPRAYING SMALL
PARTICLES INTO CLOUDS.

Aaron says BUT I DON'T WANT IT TO RAIN.

Eugenia says BUT IF YOU MAKE IT RAIN
SOMEWHERE ELSE,
THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH RAIN
LEFT IN THE CLOUDS
WHEN THEY GET TO YOUR PARTY.

Aaron says I COULD DO THAT.
WAIT, HOW DO I DO THAT?

M.A.V.I.S. says YOU WILL NEED AN AIRPLANE,
ACCESS TO
NANOPARTICLE TECHNOLOGY,
AND A CLOUD EXPERT.

Aaron says I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT.

Eugenia says IT'S OKAY.
THERE COULD BE CONSEQUENCES
IF WE START
INTERFERING TOO MUCH WITH
NATURE, ANYWAY.

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
HUMANS ARE ALREADY AFFECTING
EARTH'S WEATHER.

Aaron says WE ARE?

Eugenia says YUP, BY USING COAL,
OIL, AND GAS
FOR OUR FACTORIES, CARS,
AND HOMES,
WE'VE POLLUTED THE AIR
WITH TOO MUCH
OF A CHEMICAL CALLED CARBON
DIOXIDE.
TOO MUCH CO2 TRAPS HEAT THAT
WOULD NORMALLY
ESCAPE THROUGH THE EARTH'S
ATMOSPHERE.

M.A.V.I.S. says THIS IS REFERRED TO
AS THE GREENHOUSE EFFECT.

Eugenia says THE RESULT IS A
DANGEROUS WARMING
OF THE PLANET AND OCEANS.

M.A.V.I.S. says AFFIRMATIVE.
CLIMATE CHANGE IS CAUSING POLAR
ICECAPS TO MELT,
OCEANS TO RISE,
AND EXTREME WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Eugenia says INSTEAD OF TRYING TO CHANGE
THE WEATHER,
IT MIGHT BE BETTER TO FOCUS ON
WHAT WE CAN DO TO STOP
THE WEATHER FROM CHANGING.

Aaron says RIGHT, LIKE USING LESS
ELECTRICITY AND LESS CARS.

Eugenia says EXACTLY.

Aaron says AND TREES, DON'T TREES HELP
THE PLANET?

Eugenia says THEY DO.
TREES ABSORB CO2,
ONE OF THE GASSES
THAT CAUSE CLIMATE CHANGE.
SO THEY ARE SUPER IMPORTANT
FOR OUR EARTH.

Aaron says HEY, I CAN GIVE AWAY BABY
TREES AT MY PARTY
FOR MY FRIENDS TO PLANT.

Blynk says AH-HAH.

Eugenia says I THINK THAT GAVE BLYNK
AN IDEA.
(UPBEAT MUSIC)

Blynk runs to the invention station and creates a device.

Blynk says AH.

Aazoo says OOH.
(LAUGHING)

Aaron says OOH, WHAT DID YOU INVENT, BLYNK?
(BLASTING)

Blynk shoots and a tree rapidly grows.

M.A.V.I.S. says IT APPEARS BLYNK HAS INVENTED
SUPER-FAST GROWING TREES.
(CHATTERING)

Aazoo grabs the device and starts shooting and growing trees.

He gets trapped among the trees.

(BLASTING)

M.A.V.I.S. says YOU HAVE GOT YOURSELF INTO A
TREE-MENDOUS MESS AGAIN, AAZOO.
GET IT, TREE-MENDOUS.

Aaron says TREES ARE GREAT AAZOO,
BUT THAT'S TOO MANY FOR
A SPACESHIP.
I'M NOT GONNA WORRY ABOUT
THE RAIN.
CHANGING THE WEATHER DOESN'T
SOUND LIKE
A GOOD IDEA ANYWAY.

Eugenia says AND YOU KNOW WHAT AARON,
YOU'LL HAVE
A GREAT BIRTHDAY RAIN OR SHINE.

Aaron says THANKS EVERYONE.
BYE.

Eugenia says BYE.

M.A.V.I.S. says THE SEARCH FOR INVENTION
CONTINUES.
ALL SYSTEMS ENGAGED.
