6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 3: Would that be the ful night? I'm going to look

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 3: at the night sky any one Monday? Join yes, Alco.

8
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: Great idea, Cowie.

9
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: The stars are out and there are hardly any clouds

10
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 2: in the sky.

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: Perfect time to go stargazing. Yeah's good.

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 3: I don't want to go. I want to stay inside

13
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 3: and watch TV. Why elliett star beajing is so fun?

14
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: It's actually called star gazing, Cowie.

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: When you look or gaze at the stars.

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 3: Staring at the stars, it's just a black sky woof

17
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 3: little white dots. Sounds boring.

18
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: Those little white dots are stars, and stars are very special.

19
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: Welcome to Storytime by Lingo Kids, where we discover fascinating

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: facts about the world around us and the fun of

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 2: play learning. Today we'll talk about stars and constellations and

22
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 2: maybe we can convince Elliott to do some stargazing with us.

23
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: I don't see what's so special about the night sky.

24
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: Those stars all look the same to me.

25
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: They may look like little dots, but stars are not

26
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: little at all.

27
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 3: Really, but you look so so so tiny.

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: That's because they're very, very very far away.

29
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: Stars are really giant balls of really hot gas.

30
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 1: And energy whoo fireballs.

31
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: In fact, our sun is a star too, and it

32
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: provides all of our heat and light on Earth.

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 3: But if the Sun is a star, why isn't it

34
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 3: a tiny white dot like all the other stars.

35
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 2: The Sun is the closest star to us. It's much

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: much closer to us than all the other stars, which

37
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: is why it doesn't look like a little white doto.

38
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: So you want to come star gazing now with us? Elliott? Well,

39
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: stars aren kind of cool, but I still don't see

40
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 3: the point of gazing at stars they are so far

41
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: away because you're so crazy.

42
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: Yes, they are, cowie, but not just that. Did you

43
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: know that stars can tell us useful things?

44
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: Really? Okay? Stars? How many bamboo sticks kit I have tonight?

45
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 3: I can't hear anything?

46
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: Well, Elliot, I am sure you know the answer to

47
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: this question. But thousands of years ago sailors used stars

48
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: to find their way when navigating and sailing the seas.

49
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 3: Why didn't they use their GPS max?

50
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: They didn't have phones or computers, GPS's or much of

51
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 2: the technology that we have now, But they had stars.

52
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,679
Speaker 3: Can we ask him for directions? Hey, miss Star, tell

53
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 3: me which way to go to Elliott's place.

54
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: Well, not exactly, but if you look very closely at

55
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: the night sky, you.

56
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: Can find patterns of stars.

57
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 2: You might remember we talked about patterns in episode Finding

58
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: Polka Dots.

59
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I remember.

60
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: We learned that patterns are simply shapes or forms that repeat.

61
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: Yes, I like patterns.

62
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 2: When you look at the night sky, you not only

63
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: see stars, but the star patterns. The same star patterns

64
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 2: that are there tonight will be there the next night,

65
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 2: and the next and so on. So by looking for

66
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: the same star patterns, you can sail.

67
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: In the right direction and not get lost.

68
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 3: That's clever.

69
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: Yes, it's kind of like finding your way home by

70
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: looking for something that looks familiar.

71
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: Such as a big tree or a store that you know.

72
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: I've never looked at star patterns before. Come on, Elliet,

73
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 3: let's go stargazing outside Lea.

74
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: Okay, let's go, yay, Wow, look out, twinkly and beautiful

75
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 4: those star patterns are they?

76
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: Sure?

77
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: Are? Did you know those star patterns have a big

78
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 2: thing fancy name they're called constellations.

79
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 3: Concentrations, combinations, congratulations.

80
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: Almost the word is constellations, constilations. In ancient times, people

81
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 2: used to gaze at the stars all the time and

82
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: find constellations.

83
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: They found all sorts of patterns in the stars.

84
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 2: Heroes and hunters, bears of bulls, and many other things.

85
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: Wow, all of it?

86
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 3: Yes?

87
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 2: Did you know there are eighty eight official constellations.

88
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:43,920
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

89
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: One of the most famous constellations is called ursa major,

90
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: which means greater bear.

91
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: People in ancient times.

92
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 2: From a very long time ago called it that because

93
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: they thought that it looked like a great big bear.

94
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: Oh, like a panda bear. Like me, Ellie, it's a constellation. Cool.

95
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: Can we find our own patterns in the stars?

96
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: Of course, Cowie, What do you see?

97
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 3: Look over there? Those stars look like they make a

98
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: smiley face?

99
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: I see it.

100
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 3: And look those ones over there look like a kite.

101
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: And look that one looks like a stick of them.

102
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: Boo, you wish elliot lingo.

103
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,359
Speaker 2: Kids, listeners, you can ask a grown up to go

104
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 2: stargazing on a nice clear night, and if you do,

105
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 2: write down some of the patterns you find. You can

106
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 2: also ask your grown up to help you send in

107
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: your list to us as well. We would love to

108
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: hear what patterns you can find in the stars.

109
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 3: Stars are amazing. I'm glad we came outside to gaze

110
00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 3: at the stars.

111
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 2: Thanks everyone, Lingo Kids listeners, We hope you enjoyed learning
