1
00:00:18,812 --> 00:00:22,232
Why are you still bothering with
my exoplanet, Franklin?
2
00:00:22,315 --> 00:00:25,235
CARA said it was too far for us
to reach right now.
3
00:00:25,318 --> 00:00:27,487
But even if we can't get there in person,
4
00:00:27,571 --> 00:00:30,615
we can still use technology
to get more information about it.
5
00:00:30,699 --> 00:00:34,452
Which could help us learn a lot
about its potential for life.
6
00:00:34,536 --> 00:00:37,831
Still, can you imagine
what it'd be like to travel there?
7
00:00:37,914 --> 00:00:42,043
The wonders of the cosmos
stretching out before you.
8
00:00:42,127 --> 00:00:44,629
The space wind in your hair.
9
00:00:44,713 --> 00:00:46,756
There's no wind in space.
10
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,259
I was speaking metaphorically, of course.
11
00:00:49,342 --> 00:00:51,595
There's no metaphors in space, either.
12
00:01:20,373 --> 00:01:24,252
If I could go on a road trip
to another solar system,
13
00:01:24,336 --> 00:01:28,548
I'd finally get to check off a few items
on my must-see nebula list.
14
00:01:30,175 --> 00:01:31,468
What's a nebula?
15
00:01:32,928 --> 00:01:34,596
To the monitors.
16
00:01:38,183 --> 00:01:42,812
A nebula is where new stars are born,
in a cloud of dust and gas.
17
00:01:43,939 --> 00:01:47,317
Can you imagine
anything more beautiful than dust and gas?
18
00:01:48,443 --> 00:01:50,904
I can think of a few things actually.
19
00:01:53,323 --> 00:01:55,242
There's the Horsehead Nebula.
20
00:02:05,085 --> 00:02:06,503
And the Eagle Nebula.
21
00:02:15,428 --> 00:02:18,181
And who could forget
the Ham Sandwich Nebula?
22
00:02:20,767 --> 00:02:21,768
Just kidding.
23
00:02:22,394 --> 00:02:25,939
Sure, space is beautiful,
but don't forget the dangers.
24
00:02:26,022 --> 00:02:27,857
Like black holes.
25
00:02:29,734 --> 00:02:31,778
That doesn't sound very fun.
26
00:02:31,861 --> 00:02:36,408
Unless your idea of fun involves an area
where gravity has become so strong
27
00:02:36,491 --> 00:02:38,201
that nothing around it can escape.
28
00:02:38,285 --> 00:02:42,872
Not even, like, tearing a hole
in the fabric of space and time.
29
00:02:42,956 --> 00:02:47,043
Frankly, the thought of holes
in the fabric of anything is terrifying.
30
00:03:08,315 --> 00:03:11,276
Oh, no.
This will take hours to reorganize.
31
00:03:14,738 --> 00:03:15,739
Cherry.
32
00:03:18,158 --> 00:03:19,367
That was a fresh cup.
33
00:03:28,418 --> 00:03:29,419
Oh, no.
34
00:03:29,502 --> 00:03:31,922
We lost track of the exoplanet.
35
00:03:34,424 --> 00:03:37,969
It's okay. Someone must have recorded
the coordinates, right?
36
00:03:41,514 --> 00:03:42,557
Right?
37
00:03:44,559 --> 00:03:45,810
Nope.
38
00:03:45,894 --> 00:03:47,854
If no one logged the coordinates,
39
00:03:47,938 --> 00:03:50,649
then how will we ever find
the exoplanet again?
40
00:03:51,274 --> 00:03:52,359
No problem.
41
00:03:52,442 --> 00:03:56,821
If my big brother found it once,
he'll be able to find it again, right?
42
00:04:04,371 --> 00:04:05,455
Sure thing.
43
00:04:17,425 --> 00:04:18,802
You can do this.
44
00:04:25,392 --> 00:04:26,393
It's…
45
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,230
Come on. Where is it?
46
00:04:30,313 --> 00:04:34,442
Get it together, Charlie Brown.
We need results.
47
00:04:36,903 --> 00:04:38,071
I'll never find it.
48
00:04:41,449 --> 00:04:43,159
Wait. What's that?
49
00:04:43,910 --> 00:04:44,995
I found it!
50
00:04:46,496 --> 00:04:47,664
Yeah!
51
00:04:49,082 --> 00:04:53,295
It just looks a little different now.
A lot smaller.
52
00:04:53,378 --> 00:04:56,381
That's normal for exoplanets, right?
53
00:04:56,464 --> 00:04:58,341
No, Charlie Brown, it's not.
54
00:05:07,225 --> 00:05:10,353
Charles, it appears you found an asteroid.
55
00:05:10,437 --> 00:05:11,688
A what?
56
00:05:13,607 --> 00:05:16,109
Asteroids are
rocky bodies orbiting the sun.
57
00:05:17,903 --> 00:05:22,824
They vary in size, from tiny
to nearly the size of a small planet.
58
00:05:23,450 --> 00:05:25,869
Nice work. You found a rock.
59
00:05:25,952 --> 00:05:29,164
There's just something
about you and rocks, Charlie Brown.
60
00:05:30,749 --> 00:05:33,376
I guess my luck is pretty rock-specific.
61
00:05:34,127 --> 00:05:37,005
So, any updates on your progress?
62
00:05:37,088 --> 00:05:38,131
Well…
63
00:05:38,215 --> 00:05:41,384
- We had the coordinates, but--
- There were some issues.
64
00:05:41,468 --> 00:05:42,969
A lot of issues.
65
00:05:43,553 --> 00:05:44,930
We lost it.
66
00:05:45,597 --> 00:05:46,598
I see.
67
00:05:48,308 --> 00:05:50,185
What are we going to do now?
68
00:05:50,268 --> 00:05:53,647
That exoplanet could have been
the breakthrough we were looking for.
69
00:05:53,730 --> 00:05:56,983
It is disappointing,
but setbacks happen in science,
70
00:05:57,067 --> 00:06:01,154
especially when exploring
something as unpredictable as space.
especially when exploring
something as unpredictable as space.
71
00:06:01,238 --> 00:06:03,573
Sometimes missions need to be postponed,
72
00:06:03,657 --> 00:06:05,909
or you didn't find
what you thought you would.
73
00:06:05,992 --> 00:06:09,621
That's why you can't count on
finding all your answers in one place.
74
00:06:09,704 --> 00:06:10,956
That's why they tell you
75
00:06:11,039 --> 00:06:14,000
not to put all your space eggs
in one space rocket.
76
00:06:14,084 --> 00:06:16,044
I don't think it goes like that.
77
00:06:16,127 --> 00:06:17,254
Well, it should.
78
00:06:17,963 --> 00:06:22,467
In this case, exoplanets hold
a lot of promise for the search for life.
79
00:06:22,551 --> 00:06:26,513
And as our technology develops,
we may be able to find out more.
80
00:06:26,596 --> 00:06:29,599
But as you've found,
they can be difficult to study.
81
00:06:29,683 --> 00:06:33,436
So it's not always possible
to answer all our questions.
82
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:36,273
Man, science is tough.
83
00:06:36,356 --> 00:06:37,357
- Yep.
- Sure is.
84
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,276
- Yep.
- Agreed.
85
00:06:40,193 --> 00:06:43,989
When it comes to science,
you have to be willing to keep looking,
86
00:06:44,072 --> 00:06:46,199
even if it's not where you expected.
87
00:06:49,536 --> 00:06:53,415
Hold on. There's something different
about that asteroid.
88
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,085
Its orbit is moving
in the opposite direction
89
00:06:57,168 --> 00:06:58,712
of everything else around it.
90
00:06:58,795 --> 00:07:02,883
That's okay. Sometimes you have to move
to the beat of your own drum.
That's okay. Sometimes you have to move
to the beat of your own drum.
91
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,016
Actually, when it comes to orbits,
92
00:07:11,099 --> 00:07:13,101
everything that comes
from our solar system
93
00:07:13,184 --> 00:07:17,188
is supposed to go in the same direction,
including asteroids.
94
00:07:17,272 --> 00:07:21,067
That means
this may not be just any asteroid.
95
00:07:21,526 --> 00:07:23,570
You're onto something, Franklin.
96
00:07:23,653 --> 00:07:26,823
It appears this asteroid
may in fact be an object
97
00:07:26,907 --> 00:07:28,450
which has traveled from…
98
00:07:31,036 --> 00:07:33,413
another solar system!
99
00:07:37,334 --> 00:07:40,545
What? Sometimes I like to do
my own sound effects.
100
00:07:46,384 --> 00:07:48,345
Wow, tough crowd.
