[Neil deGrasse Tyson] The act of moving onward means we past these signposts.
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
Onward to the edge, we're moving onward to the edge Here we are together, this fragile little world
[Brian ***] 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
Onward to the edge, we're moving onward to the edge Here we are together, this fragile little world
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 (stirs within us)
When we see our own little blue ocean planet (blue ocean planet) in skies of other worlds
A powerful recognition that stirs within us (stirs within us)
When we see our own little blue ocean planet (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'll change how we think about Earth
[Porco] Our own little blue ocean planet (Our own little blue ocean planet)
[***] "Mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam The pale blue dot." (Carl Sagan)
[Tyson] Onward to the edge, we're moving onward to the edge Here we are together, this fragile little world
Onward to the edge, we're moving onward to the edge Here we are together, this fragile little world
We're not the only world to think about worlds unnumbered
We're not the only world to think about - think about- worlds unnumbered
[***] The laws of nature
create vastly different worlds with the tiniest of changes
[Tyson] When I reach for 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
