TIM: The farthest that humans have ever gone is the moon, but several spacecraft have been to the outer regions of the solar system. TIM: Yeah, I guess Earth's my favorite, too. An image of the Oort cloud is shown again. The spiraling pattern transfixes Tim and he falls asleep as Moby looks at the night skies through the binoculars. TIM: The total amount of planets in our solar system are satellites of the sun that means they travel around it in an orbit. Use strategy to up your points! TIM: Pluto has an odd elliptical orbit that sometimes brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. TIM: Oh, the things I mentioned are all governed by the suns gravity, which stretches half way to the next star system! Moby thinks and then extends his arms. 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.
