These are images taken by our farthest-reaching space telescopes.
Look at this one: it'’s a red dwarf star not too many light-years from here.
- [gasps] Nah.
Close, but not Bortron.
- [grunts] - See, my team has been hoping to find a star with an exoplanet that is just the right size in distance from its sun.
- You mean a "Goldilocks planet?"
- Exactly!
Imagine if there was life on another planet.
- Uh-huh.
- And imagine if we could actually meet intelligent creatures from that planet.
- That would be amazing!
- [laughs] Well, maybe one day that will happen.
- Maybe today '’cause I'’m from another planet and I'’m fairly intelligent!
- [laughs] Oh, that Jet.
- Always making jokes.
- But it'’s true.
This star isn'’t my star, even thought it kind of looks like it.
My star'’s called Bortron.
My family'’s from the seventh planet in the Bortronian system.
We Bortronians are looking for intelligent life on other planets too.
That'’s actually how we found you guys.
- Hmm, you know, Jet, there'’s something about you I'’ve never noticed... both: No, there isn'’t.
- What?
- You remind me of me when I was a kid.
I felt like an alien, too, but I love how you'’ve got it all worked out, Jet.
both: Phew.
- What a wonderful imagination your friend has, Sean.
What was the name of that planet you'’re from, hmm?
Bortron 7?
- Yeah.
- Bortron 8 is so boring.
And 9--forget it.
It'’s freezing there.
- [laughs] - But thanks so much
