to have your company for story time. Soon, I'm going
to tell you a story all about a child who

(00:46):
loved space. Every night, he liked to look up at
the sky and wonder about the stars, the planets, the galaxies,
and and the spaceships that are out there. Before we
get started with our story, let's snuggle up, close your

(01:14):
eyes and begin to picture the night sky. Imagine all
the bright stars shining in the dark. The starry night
is so beautiful. Can you see it in your imagination?

(01:40):
It is so peaceful, and it's full of so many
wonderful things. Let's hear all about them now and let
them fill our dreams. Caden looked out of his window.

(02:16):
It was nighttime and he was lying in his cozy bed,
all snuggled up. Outside, he could see the dark night sky.
It sparkled with stars all around to Caden, the black

(02:41):
sky looked like velvet, and the stars looked like tiny
diamonds scattered across it. On one side of the starry sky,
he could see the moon. It was a full moon,

(03:03):
round and bright. It was a pretty yellowish white color,
and it looked warm and friendly. Caden loved to look
out at the night sky. He loved to think about

(03:24):
everything that was out there in space. During the day,
he liked to look at books about space and learn
everything he could about it. And every night, when he

(03:44):
went to bed, he loved to look out at the
beautiful dark sky. Each night, at bedtime, he would say
a quiet good night night to the stars, the moon,

(04:05):
and all the other wonderful things out there in space.
Cadence snuggled back against his soft pillow and gazed at
the darkness outside his window. Good Night's Space, he whispered

(04:29):
into the quiet room. He looked at the darkness of
outer space up in the night sky, and it almost
felt like space was looking back at him, quiet and calm.

(04:51):
He knew that space was always out there. It was
there even during the day when he he couldn't see it,
and it was there every night when the sun went down.
And he could look deep into space from his window.

(05:16):
He liked knowing that space was always out there, the quiet, steady,
huge expanse of the universe, patiently existing all the time.
It made him feel calm and peaceful. Good night, stars,

(05:41):
whispered Caden. The stars were always there too, even though
he could only see them when the sky was dark.
During daylight, the bright sun made it impossible to see
the thing to light from the stars, but they were

(06:04):
still out there, softly twinkling away, until the darkness of
night made it possible to see them again. Caden loved
to look up at the stars as they calmly twinkled,

(06:26):
Their light shone out and across the vastness of outer space,
all the way through his window, all the way to him,
cozily snuggled in his bed. He loved to look at

(06:47):
the stars and wonder. He wondered what they were like
up close. He wondered what else was out there around
the stars in outer space. And he wondered who else

(07:09):
was looking at the stars too. Maybe another child, a
little bit like him, was watching the same stars right
at the same moment, somewhere else in the world. Caden

(07:30):
liked to imagine that, and wonder about that other child.
What was their life like? Where were they lying down
on this dark night? What were they thinking? Were they

(07:51):
wondering about him too? Good night, full moon, Cad whispered. Next,
he looked at the round moon shining its friendly yellowish
white light across the sky. Every night after this one,

(08:16):
less of the moon would show. Eventually only a sliver
of the moon would be visible. That was called a
crescent moon. Then it would be what was called a

(08:37):
new moon, even though Caden knew it was always the
same moon, It just changed in size because you could
see more or less of it at different times. Then,

(08:57):
night after night, the moon would look bigger and bigger
again until there was another full moon the next month,
and then the whole thing would start again. The moon

(09:18):
would once again show less and less each night, looking
smaller and smaller until it shrank away to a crescent moon,
and then once more it would begin to grow larger,

(09:40):
and it would go on like that, back and forth,
larger and smaller full moon and crescent moon, over and over.
It made Caden feel calm and peaceful to know that

(10:04):
things would go on that way as they had before. Next,
he snuggled deeper under the covers, and he looked away
from the friendly Moon. He searched the stars for some

(10:26):
that looked a little bigger and brighter. These were planets.
Caden knew that there were five planets that he might
be able to see shining brightly in the night sky.

(10:47):
These were Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, and Saturn. Good night planets,
he said softly, wondering which of them he could see.

(11:08):
Then he searched again among the stars. This time he
was looking for a tiny moving light. Not an airplane
which would look closer and move fast with its blinking lights. No,

(11:33):
he was searching for a tiny light that looked just
like a star, but that wandered slowly across the dark sky.
Soon he spotted one. This was a satellite. Satellites were

(11:58):
made by people who sent them out into space on rockets.
The satellites went around and around the Earth, taking pictures
and sending useful information back to scientists here on Earth.

(12:26):
Good night, satellites, murmured Cadan. The satellite slowly moved along,
seeming to gaze calmly back at him as it traveled
serenely through space. The satellite made Caden think of all

(12:52):
the other things that people had sent out into space.
He knew from his book that there were spaceships out
there right now, traveling through outer space. The spaceships didn't

(13:13):
have any people on board. They were remote controlled, a
little bit like the drones that people sometimes played with
at the park. Scientists controlled the spaceships from aarth like

(13:33):
the people controlled their drones from the ground. There were
some spaceships that went around and around Mars, just like
the satellites that went around ath. There were other spaceships

(13:56):
just traveling through outer space. Good night, spaceships, whispered Caden
to the far away ships. He knew they were out
there somewhere in the darkness past the point where he
could see. Some of the space ships were so far

(14:22):
away that they were out among the stars in what
was called interstellar space. Caden knew that meant they were
in the Milky Way galaxy. He looked hard at the
twinkling stars scattered around. In one area of the sky,

(14:50):
there were more stars than in other parts. There were
so many stars in that area that they looked like
a light, cloudy colored stripe going across the sky. That
was the Milky Way. People called it that because they

(15:17):
thought it looked a bit like milk spilled across the sky.
Cayden knew that the Milky Way is our galaxy, the
one that our planet is located in. Good Night, Milky Way,

(15:38):
he whispered. His voice was just a breath in the
quiet night. Good night, interstellar space. Cayden's eyes were getting
heavy now, but still he looked out at the starry night.

(16:05):
Somewhere out there was also the International Space Station, where
many astronauts had gone to study space. Caden loved to
imagine being an astronaut and going up in a rocket

(16:26):
ship to visit a space station. He wondered what that
would be like. How would it feel to look at
the blue Earth out of the window of a space station?

(16:47):
How would it feel to float with no gravity out
there in space? Good night space Station, he whispered, imagining
the astronauts there. His pillow felt so soft and his

(17:11):
head so heavy and comfortable against it. The covers were
warm and lay heavy across his body. He felt snug
and cozy as he blinked sleepily at the universe outside

(17:35):
his window. He wondered again who else might be watching
the night sky in some other place in the world.
Maybe a child like him was in Alaska looking at

(17:57):
the dark sky right now too. Maybe they could see
the Northern Lights from where they were, he thought sleepily.
Caden knew that in places like Alaska people could sometimes

(18:17):
see beautiful, green or colorful lights flashing across the sky.
These were called the Northern lights, and Cadum planned to
go and see them for himself someday. Good Night, Northern Lights,

(18:40):
he murmured. He blinked slowly and let his eyes stay
closed for a minute. In his imagination, he could see
the lights flashing green and beautiful across a cold northern sky.

(19:07):
Then he let his imagination wander to other pictures he
had seen. His books had lovely pictures of spiral galaxies,
exploding stars, and clouds of gas called nebulas that made

(19:30):
wonderful swells and shapes deep in space. Good Night galaxies,
he whispered into his soft pillow, good Night nebulus. He

(19:51):
felt so tired and peaceful now, but he would look
one more time at the velvet the sky outside before
he let himself drift off into sleep. He looked out

(20:12):
and swept his eyes once more across the velvety dark
with its scattering of diamond like starlights. Good Night, Outer Space,
he whispered good night. Then he sighed contentedly and let

(20:40):
himself drift away into his dreams, knowing that space and
all its wonders would still be out there, calm, patient
and quiet, until he looked at it all again the

(21:04):
next night. Could you want the home in
