Dr. Bergs is in charge.
He'll show you how it works.
- Gladly, Dr. Skelly.
Okay, these satellites are watching Earth with cameras to measure information.
- Why?
- Excellent question, Mindy.
Satellites help scientists make better weather forecasts.
There are many things we track from space, like rain, changes in temperature, and-- - Uh, can we back up to the rain part for a second?
I just need to know if it's going to rain tonight.
- Sean kind of needs to know now.
- Yeah, he might have a new chart to make.
- I love charts!
Anyway, our satellites are showing us that rain is indeed in the forecast.
- [sighs] I guess I'd better make other plans for my Space Scouts Sleep-out.
- Did you say Space Scouts?
I was a Space Scout.
- You were?
- I sure was, Troop 147.
- Troop 147?
That's my troop!
both: Space Scouts, ready to explore the Sun's neighborhood, and even more!
Booyah, Space Scouts!
- Did I just hear the Space Scout greeting?
- Dr. Skelley, I can't believe you were a Space Scout, too.
- Uh-huh, Scouts are the best.
So, I have an idea for your sleep-out in case it rains, Sean.
[uplifting music] - Well, that was fun.
But we still don't know if it's going to rain.
[weather vane whooshes] - I think we have our answer!
Look at that turkey-- I mean rabbit, go!
- It's still a rooster, Jet.
[thunder booms] - Wow, it's raining.
- Good news, our weather station works.
Bad news for Sean's sleep-out, but great news for plants and flowers, and umbrella salespeople.
[thunder booms] Come on, Cody.
Let's get inside.
[Cody whimpers, weather vane whooshes] - My mom and Bergs are going to let us sleep right here in the planetarium.
- That's so cool, Sean.
- Also, Bergs is going to show everyone the Eyes on Earth satellite watcher.
- In that case, I can predict a 100% chance of fun on the Space Scouts oversleep!
- Sleepover.
- I am ready!
Anybody feel like doing the Space Scouts pledge?
all: Space Scouts, ready to explore the Sun's neighborhood, and even more.
Booyah, Space Scouts!
[all cheer] [triumphant music]
