00:00When the night falls, Maggie helps us see wonders of the stars above us all.
00:14Turn the lights low, grab a cosy rug, wrap up warm and snug, here we go!
00:23We're going star gazing, gaze at stars shining bright.
00:28We're going star gazing, spot a zooming satellite.
00:36We're going star gazing, glimpse the moon and the planets above.
00:42We're going star gazing, so just look up, look up, look up.
00:58Come and join us underneath the stars.
01:05We've got everything we need, cosy blankets, torches.
01:09All we need now is...
01:11Maggie!
01:12I wonder where she is.
01:14Within a second, Chris.
01:15Where did that come from?
01:16The cafe!
01:18Oh, there you are, Maggie.
01:21You were hidden behind the hat stand.
01:23I'm sorry, Chris.
01:24I'm running a bit late, cos I'm trying to get ready for...
01:26Oh, no, no, no, Maggie, it doesn't matter.
01:27Let's go.
01:28The stargazers are here.
01:30Here she is, everyone.
01:32Hi, Maggie!
01:34Hi, stargazers.
01:35Now, what can we see up there tonight?
01:39Can anyone see the moon?
01:41No.
01:42Nor me.
01:43But it does mean we can see the stars more clearly.
01:46Because the moon isn't drowning out the stars
01:50with all the bright light it reflects from the sun.
01:52That's right, Chris.
01:54It's a clear, moonless night, so the stars shine bright.
02:00I wonder who else is looking up at the sky tonight.
02:03I hope it's clear where they are.
02:05It's Mac.
02:17Wowzers!
02:19Hi, stargazers.
02:21We're looking up at the night sky, too.
02:23Eclipse, kalimpsu!
02:25Eclipse, kalimpsu!
02:27Except a certain robot keeps it getting in the way of our view.
02:32Robert!
02:33Eclipse, kalimpsu!
02:34Robert!
02:35Robert!
02:36Oh!
02:37Oh!
02:38Stop me, Diode!
02:39Well, hello, stargazers.
02:42Robert!
02:43It's time to stop eclipse-ecalypsoing and start stargazing!
02:48Sorry, it's just I'm so excited about tomorrow's eclipse!
02:51Although, we did make our own eclipse today, didn't we, stargazers?
02:57Yeah!
02:58Yes, we did!
02:59Come back later and find out how we did it.
03:02So, is there going to be an eclipse?
03:04Yes, it's tomorrow and I'm really excited.
03:07And that's why I was late.
03:08I was setting up an eclipse surprise for you.
03:10Come and see!
03:11Come on!
03:12Come on!
03:12Ta-da!
03:13It's an eclipse party!
03:15How fantastic!
03:16Thank you very much, Maggie.
03:17An eclipse party.
03:18You've got the food, the decorations, the bunting.
03:19Maggie, what's an eclipse?
03:20I'll give you a clue.
03:21It involves this...
03:22The moon!
03:23And this...
03:24The storm!
03:25I've invited some very special guests, tiny clanger and small clanger, to help us find
03:27out how an eclipse works.
03:29Clangers, over to you.
03:30Just like the stargazers, tiny and small clanger, can help us find out how an eclipse works.
03:35Clangers, over to you!
03:39Just like the stargazers, tiny and small clanger, can help us find out how an eclipse works.

04:10Ah, so when a moon moves right in front of a sun, it's called a solar eclipse.
04:34Mage is right. You must never look straight at the sun. It'll hurt your eyes.
04:40Ah, these look like they'll do the trick. Special eclipse glasses. Very important.
04:55Ah, the sun. Wonderful.
05:04And there's the moon, moving towards the sun.
05:08And there's the total eclipse. How totally marvellous.
05:20Thanks so much, Clangers. And you can see a lot more of the Clangers later on in the year here on CBeebies.
05:25Now, tomorrow's eclipse really is going to be quite an amazing event, isn't it, Maggie?
05:29Eclipses are truly magical. But you must never look directly at an eclipse, because it can really hurt your eyes.
05:35But I've got a great way you can enjoy it. And all you need is a colander.
05:39That's one.
05:40Yes, let me take the satsumas out.
05:43I'll need this one in a minute. Now, Chris, could you hold the colander?
05:46Yes.
05:47Thank you. And let's dim the lights.
05:48That's better. Now, we need some sunshine.
05:53What shapes do you see as the sun shines through the colander?
05:56Circles.
05:58If the moon gets in front of the sun, what shapes do you see now?
06:05Crescents.
06:06That's right, Alistair.
06:07And you can see this for yourselves at 8.30 tomorrow morning.
06:10All you need is a colander, and the sun and the moon will do the rest.
06:14Now, I wonder how Robert the robot got on making his own eclipse. Let's find out.
06:20As everybody knows, you should never look directly at the sun.
06:25But thanks to the eclipsomatic, we can see an eclipse whenever we want without looking at the real sun.
06:32Allow me to demonstrate.
06:33I give you...
06:35The sun!
06:37And...
06:38The moon!
06:39That's right.
06:40All right, eclipsomatic, let's show them what we've got.
06:44I give you...
06:45A total eclipse!
06:48You can still see the sun, Robert.
06:51Oh, dot me diodes.
06:52The little moon's never going to hide the giant sun and make a total eclipse.
06:56It's a total disaster.
06:58We can help him, can't we, stargazers?
07:00Yes!
07:01Yes!
07:02There is bound to be something in my backpack which will help fix the eclipsomatic.
07:08What's in your backpack, Mac?
07:10Oh, a megaphone!
07:12Oh!
07:13Oh!
07:14Oh!
07:15Oh!
07:16Oh!
07:17Oh!
07:18Oh!
07:19Cake!
07:20It was given to me by the Moo Moo Kachoo Choo Choo's.
07:24You know, they know loads of amazing things about the moon.
07:28Like, the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun.
07:33Wait a minute!
07:34400 times smaller?
07:36Well, there's no way the tiny eclipsomatic moon can hide the enormous sun.
07:43I mean, you might as well just try and hide that giant telescope with this cake.
07:48Impossible!
07:50The moon is much closer to the earth than the sun.
07:54Interesting.
07:56Wait a minute.
07:57Thank you, stargazers!
07:59Robert, what are you doing?
08:05I never thought I'd say this, but I found another use for cake.
08:09Ta-da!
08:11The telescope!
08:13Now you see it.
08:15Now you don't.
08:16That's brilliant.
08:18You say the cake is hiding the giant telescope.
08:22Like the moon hides the giant sun.
08:25It's a total eclipse of the telescope.
08:28Totally.
08:29Turn around.
08:31Let's go!
08:35Robert!
08:36You've just broken the eclipsomatic.
08:39Oh, no, no, no, Mac.
08:40I have upgraded it.
08:42Allow me to present the eclipsomatic 400.
08:46Now, listen, why don't you and the stargazers go and take a seat all the way over there on earth
08:49and I'll show you.
08:51Go on, off you go!
08:51Stargazers, I give you the sun.
08:59Ha-ha!
09:00Very, very far, far away from the earth.
09:08Stargazers, I give you the moon!
09:10Oh, sorry.
09:13Stargazers, I give you the moon.
09:16Now the moon and the sun look the same size.
09:19That's right, Henry. And now the moment we've all been waiting for.
09:25It's the total eclipse.
09:28Totally.
09:32Well done. That total eclipse was totally brilliant.
09:36It's so clever, isn't it, Maggie, how our moon and the sun line up so perfectly.
09:40We're really lucky. We're the only planet in the solar system
09:43where the moon is just the right size and in the right position with the sun
09:46to have a total eclipse.
09:48We are in the perfect spot, and I have the perfect eclipse party party game.
09:54Who'd like to play?
09:55Me.
09:56Well, you are the moons. Here are the suns.
10:01When the music stops, moons cover the suns to make a total eclipse.
10:06Let's go.
10:12Total eclipse.
10:13Oh, well done, moons.
10:18Here we go again.
10:25Total eclipse.
10:28Well done.
10:31Well, I'm in the perfect spot for looking up at the night sky.
10:34I wonder who else is looking up tonight.
10:39It's Brian Cox.
10:41I'm looking up at the dark night sky and remembering a time when it went dark in the day.
10:47I was lucky enough to be at a total solar eclipse in India and many thousands of people came to see it.
10:53The moon and the moon and the sun lined up perfectly, so the moon moved across the face of the sun and brought the darkness.
11:03The moon and the moon and the moon.
11:04The moon and the moon and the moon.
11:07At the moment of the total solar eclipse, the crowds were clearly moved by what they saw and they gave the sun and the moon a round of applause.
11:14You know what?
11:16I don't blame them.
11:17I'm giving the eclipse a round of applause too.
11:18It was beautiful.
11:19Don't forget to get ready for the eclipse tomorrow morning from 8.30.
11:33Remember, never look straight at it.
11:36Why not try our colander experiment?
11:39There are lots of beautiful things to see up there.
11:43Twinkling stars.
11:45Party lights in the night sky.
11:47Come on, let's get cosy for tonight's starlight story.
11:52Starlight Scattered through the dark
12:01Painting stories for us all
12:08Gather underneath the stars
12:16And hear their wonders told
12:21And hear their wonders told
12:23Looking up into the dark
12:27The night is yours and it is mine
12:32Looking up into the dark
12:34The dark upon us all
12:37Upon us all the stars will shine
12:41Upon us all the stars will shine
12:46Look up there
12:47Taurus the bull
12:48Taurus the bull wished to cook a tasty almighty feast
13:02Taurus the bull had a rumbly tummy
13:05He was one hungry almighty beast
13:07He was one hungry almighty beast
13:10He raced to the shops
13:12Till he was all hot and sweaty
13:14To buy a colander to drain his spaghetti
13:18The powerful sun hung in the sky
13:20The powerful sun hung in the sky
13:22As Taurus the bull chose what to buy
13:25Then way up high started a rare lunar dance
13:30A total eclipse
13:32What was the chance?
13:35He looked through the holes
13:37What a wonderful sight
13:39And just for a moment day became night
13:43Excited he leapt and he danced with a hop
13:48But balls weren't allowed in this china shop
13:54Sorry!
14:01Thank you so much for the eclipse party Maggie
14:04It's been my pleasure
14:05And enjoy the eclipse tomorrow morning
14:07Oh yes I can't wait for that
14:09And we'll see you tomorrow too
14:12Bye bye
14:13Bye
14:18Bye bye
