Transcript: Neptune
A caption reads "TVO Kids presents."
An animation shows the solar system.
A theme song plays I LIVE ON EARTH
I LOOK TO THE SKY
SO MUCH WONDER
FILLS MY MIND
WE ARE SPACE KIDS
SPACE KIDS.
A child says NEPTUNE.
(music plays)
A girl says LET'S CHECK OUT NEPTUNE!
A boy says NEPTUNE IS THE EIGHTH AND
FARTHEST PLANET FROM THE SUN.
IT'S THE COLDEST AND WINDIEST
PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM.
An animated planet Neptune appears.
A girl says SEE THOSE GIANT DARK SPOTS?
THOSE ARE HURRICANES.
WOW!
A shocked emoji pops up.
The boy says NEPTUNE LOOKS LIKE
IT'S COVERED IN WATER
WHICH IS WHY IT WAS NAMED
AFTER NEPTUNE,
THE ROMAN GOD OF THE SEA.
The girl says IT'S ACTUALLY MADE UP
MOSTLY OF ROCK,
GAS AND SLUSHY ICE.
The boy says THE CLOUDS ON NEPTUNE LOOK
LIKE OUR CLOUDS ON EARTH,
HOWEVER THEY ARE MADE UP
OF METHANE ICE CRYSTALS
AND EARTH'S CLOUDS ARE
MADE UP OF WATER.
An animation recreates the concepts mentioned.
The girl says NEPTUNE'S LARGEST MOON
IS TRITON.
TRITON IS KNOWN AS
THE BACKWARDS MOON.
The boy says ALL THE OTHER LARGE MOONS
IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
ORBIT IN THE SAME DIRECTION
AS THEIR PLANET ROTATES,
BUT TRITON ORBITS IN
THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION
OF NEPTUNE'S ROTATION.
NEPTUNE WAS DISCOVERED
WHEN ASTRONOMERS NOTICED
THAT NEPTUNE'S NEIGHBOUR URANUS
WAS BEING PULLED SLIGHTLY
OUT OF ITS NORMAL ORBIT
AROUND THE SUN...
A black and white picture of a young man appears. A caption reads "Urbain Le Verrier."
The boy continues MATHEMATICIANS WERE ABLE
TO PREDICT THAT THE GRAVITY
FROM ANOTHER PLANET
BEYOND THE ORBIT OF URANUS
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PULL.
An old picture of a man wearing a suit appears. The caption changes to "Johan Gottfried Galle."
He continues ANOTHER ASTRONOMER
USED THESE PREDICTIONS
TO OBSERVE THE MYSTERY PLANET
WE NOW CALL NEPTUNE.
The girl says ISN'T TEAMWORK GREAT.
The end credits roll.
The song plays I'M ON MY WAY,
ON MY WAY
TO OUTER SPACE.
