It's way bigger than our entire planet, and it's been raging for centuries. An animation shows the pale yellow planet encircled by large rings. TIM: Mars is called the "red planet" because of its reddish surface. Its rocky core alone is at least 10 times bigger than Earth. The animation zooms in on Jupiter. The sun gets larger and wispy tails appear behind the clump of ice. Have your students signed up forindividual accounts?

An animation shows four large moons next to Jupiter. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, about 100 times more massive than Earth. Charon partially overlapping it on the left, and two small, gray moons labeled Hydra and Nix above and below it. But how does it make our calculators work? A cross-section of the planet shows that its core is much larger than Earth. An image of an astronaut walking on the moon is displayed on the screen, and then an image of a spacecraft against a night sky is added to the right of it. TIM: But scientists are pretty sure that both of the Voyager probes have passed the termination shock, and are closing in on the heliopause. TIM: The Pioneer 10 and 11 probes have been out there even longer. Like Uranus, it's sometimes called an ice giant because it's so cold. For best experience, access this project full size.

That means they travel around it in an orbit. The side closest to the sun glows red, while the other side is covered in ice. The heliopause is shown as a dark orange semicircle to the left of the termination shock with a bigger radius than the circle that represents the termination shock. It started out around four and a half billion years agoBack then, our solar system was just a cloud of gas and dust, probably left over from the explosion of a star. The spiraling pattern transfixes Tim and he falls asleep as Moby looks at the night skies through the binoculars. Limited Student Access . TIM: Although it's cold and dry now, scientists think Mars was once much more like Earth. Then show the movie once through without pausing. TIM: The outer planets were once rocky, too, but their gravity captured the gas pushed away by the sun.

TIM: But there are tons of other objects that keep popping up in the far regions of the solar system! Text reads: The Mysteries of Life with Tim and Moby. A robot, Moby, wipes the end of the telescope with a dust cloth. TIM: The four inner planets are rocky, relatively warm, and have craters. TIM: By the way, Pluto isn't the only dwarf planet. TIM: No, you couldn't go there you'd probably either melt or freeze! (Compare/contrast; Make inferences), Timecode 4:00: Why might the outer planets have many more moons orbiting them than the inner planets? As it approaches, its tail grows longer.
