The Night Sky (362x4)

Ausstrahlung: Aug 17, 2023

Astronomer and Wiradjuri woman Kirsten joins Abi and Kaeng to explore the sky at night. We look at the different phases of the moon and explore why we only see the stars at night-time. Kirsten introduces us to constellations. It is ten o'clock on the rocket clock, with a kerosene lamp inside. The story is the 'Dark Emu Expedition', where Kiya and Jemima take a road trip to the desert to find the 'emu in the sky' constellation. Kaeng paints a sunrise and sunset with squirty bottles. Through the square window we see the amazing phenomenon of Aurora Australis and some astronauts in space. Abi and Kaeng dress as astronauts to explore the moon.
