Thanks for watching!
Lyrics:
[Neil deGrasse Tyson]
The act of moving onward means we pass these sign posts
One of them was first leaving earth
The next one is hanging out on the moon
What's next? The planets
Onward to the edge
We're moving onward to the edge
Here we are together
This fragile little world
[Brian Cox]
This is our sun
Just another star in a sea of stars
The heart of the solar system
Just another star in a sea of stars
Mercury is the closest planet
This tortured piece of rock has been stripped naked
[Tyson]
The moon has a sky
It has a horizon
It's another world
It's got earth in the sky
Just the way we have the moon in the sky
(refrain)
We're not the only world to think about
Worlds unnumbered
We're not the only world to think about
Think about worlds unnumbered
[Carolyn Porco]
There is a powerful recognition
That stirs within us
When we see our own little blue ocean planet
In the skies of other worlds
The Saturn system
Offers splendor beyond compare
Because of its rings
And very diverse moons
[Tyson]
These are no longer abstractions
These are worlds
Maybe there's life there
They've changed how we think about Earth
[Cox]
"A mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam
The pale blue dot" (Carl Sagan)
(refrain)
The laws of nature create
Vastly different worlds
With the tiniest of changes
[Tyson]
When I reach to the edge of the universe
I do so knowing that along some paths of cosmic discovery
There are times when, at least for now,
One must be content to love the questions themselves

Lyrics:
Say, do you like mystery stories?
Well we have one for you.
The concept: relativity. That strange fantastic relationship between time, distance, and mass.
Before we're finished, I think you'll agree that truth is stranger than the strangest fiction.
Why do the stars shine?
Why does the galaxy light up?
E equals MC squared
That is the engine that lights up the stars
Energy turns into mass
E equals MC squared -
That is the secret of the stars
Now listen carefully:
The faster you move
THe heavier you get
The energy of motion turns into M, your mass
Energy of motion
Energy equals Mass times the speed of light squared
An awful lot of energy
For a tiny amount of mass
Light travels at the same speed
No matter how you look at it
No matter how I move, relative to you,
Light travels at the same speed
No matter who is doing the measurement
And no matter what direction you are moving
The speed of light is the same
No matter what direction, or how fast
As you travel faster
Time slows down
Everything slows down
Time slows down when you move
Time passes at a different rate
Clocks run slow
It's a monumental shift in how we see the world
The beauty, the majesty,
The power of the universe
Into a single equation
(refrain)
It's a beautiful piece of science
It's a beautifuly elegant theory
It's a beautiful piece of science
A planet like the Earth is kept in orbit
Because it follows curves
In the spatial fabric caused
By the sun's presence
Space and time are bent by stars and planets
As things move through this curved space, they bend
Now all of this is illustration of the fact
that time and space are linked together.
As you're moving through bent and curved space and time,
You feel like you feel a force (x2)
That force is gravity
(refrain)
That is the secret of the stars

Lyrics:
Why are we here? Where do we come from?
These are the most enduring of questions.
It’s a story we wouldn’t be able to tell without the one thing that connects us vividly to our vast cosmos: Light.
Through light we can stare back across the entire history of the universe, and discover how it all began.
Those ancient beams of light are messengers from the distant past. And they carry with them a story. The story of the origin of the universe.
Gaze up into the night sky
Capture the light
And read the story of the universe
Isn’t it a wonderful thing
We are part of the universe
Isn’t it a wonderful thing
The story of the universe is our story
Carried on waves of light
Wave after wave after wave of light
All the colors of the rainbow, colors of the rainbow
Light can transport us to the past
And we have become virtual time travelers
Night falls, darker and darker
And the universe fades into view
Night falls, darker and darker
Darker and darker
Stars being born in distant realms
Alien worlds created by gravity
Stars that shine with the light of a thousand suns
And vast swirling galaxies
These waves of light are messengers from across the cosmos. And through them, we have discovered the wonders of our galaxy, frozen in time.
Gaze up into the night sky
Capture the light
And read the story of the universe
Isn’t it a wonderful thing
We are part of the universe
Isn’t it a wonderful thing
The story of the universe is our story
Carried on waves of light
Wave after wave after wave of light
All the colors of the rainbow, colors of the rainbow
Billions and billions of suns
Shining in the sky
The story of the universe
Carried on waves of light
Gaze up into the night sky
Capture the light
And read the story of the universe
