Space Explorers: 3. Saturn

Inspired by the Voyager missions, CBeebies Stargazing: Space Explorers takes pre-schoolers on a journey of discovery through the Solar System. Robert the Robot instructs Chris, Maggie and the Stargazers to set a course for the next planet on their journey, Saturn. Before setting off, Maggie explains how excited people were when Voyager sent back the first pictures of Saturn and its rings. \n\nIn Mission Control, Robert receives another incoming message from Astronomer Edward who uploads some mission data of Saturn and asks Stargazers everywhere to try and spot its rings. Back on Space Sailor, Chris and Maggie are still on their way to Saturn. Maggie explains that it took Voyager over three years to get there but points out that there are lots of sights to enjoy while they make their journey, like the sunlight lighting up the canal. More Stargazers send an update back to Mission Control to inform Robert that the Sun’s light also lights up Saturn’s icy rings.\n\nFinally reaching their destination, Maggie tells Chris and the Stargazers that there’s an icy surprise somewhere on one of Saturn’s moons. With a little help from a Moon cow, the Stargazers discover that Enceladus is a smooth icy moon, which sends ice crystals out into space forming Saturn’s rings! \n\nAfter Robert backs up the mission data, Maggie challenges Stargazers at home to look up and watch the stars twinkle.
