00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:13.070
When I was a child I tuned in to a beautiful fantasy

2
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:21.220
Humans and Vulcans and peace in the cosmic community

3
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.760
I'd look up to the sky at night

4
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.680
And I'd ask myself could it be right

5
00:00:30.680 --> 00:00:35.250
Are there planets like ours around faraway stars

6
00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:39.230
Or are we all alone on our planet Earth home?

7
00:00:39.230 --> 00:00:43.600
Are we whirling around imperceptibly

8
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:48.030
Caught up in the dances of gravity

9
00:00:48.030 --> 00:00:52.170
A random Galactic anomaly

10
00:00:52.170 --> 00:00:56.550
Nine planets around the Sun

11
00:00:56.550 --> 00:01:00.740
Spinning and swirling, twirling and whirling

12
00:01:00.740 --> 00:01:04.660
Around the Sun

13
00:01:04.660 --> 00:01:11.330
Time marches on and astronomers hone their technology

14
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:18.970
Point their scopes to the sky with an eye to unravelling the mystery

15
00:01:20.850 --> 00:01:24.970
And like the faintest of calls in the night

16
00:01:24.970 --> 00:01:28.940
Lies a signal within a star's light

17
00:01:28.940 --> 00:01:33.410
Like a beacon of hope in your burnt umber sky

18
00:01:33.410 --> 00:01:38.100
The rising of 51 Pegasi

19
00:01:38.100 --> 00:01:41.630
Dancing almost imperceptibly

20
00:01:42.190 --> 00:01:45.960
Backward and forward from gravity

21
00:01:45.960 --> 00:01:49.990
A companion of closest proximity

22
00:01:49.990 --> 00:01:54.390
A planet around a star

23
00:01:54.390 --> 00:01:58.750
At the edge of the Galaxy, clusters of stars

24
00:01:58.750 --> 00:02:03.160
Their members a billion years older than ours

25
00:02:03.160 --> 00:02:09.300
Hold wobbles of planets around their pulsars

26
00:02:09.900 --> 00:02:14.370
They've had eons more time than we

27
00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:18.400
Is it possible, could it be?

28
00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:22.850
Am I watching you, watching me?

29
00:02:22.850 --> 00:02:27.030
And with more planets than stars in the galaxy

30
00:02:27.030 --> 00:02:31.300
The dream has become a reality

31
00:02:31.300 --> 00:02:35.710
We're not quite as alone as we used to be

32
00:02:35.710 --> 00:02:40.020
There are planets around the stars

33
00:02:40.020 --> 00:02:44.290
Planets around the stars

34
00:02:44.290 --> 00:02:48.500
Spinning and swirling, twirling and whirling

35
00:02:48.500 --> 00:02:52.170
Around the stars

36
00:02:52.170 --> 00:02:56.380
Backward and forward, they're coming and going

37
00:02:56.380 --> 00:03:00.270
Around the stars

38
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:04.450
Daytime and nighttime, summer and winter

39
00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:08.530
Around the stars

40
00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:12.680
We've finally found them, there's planets around them

41
00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:19.800
Around the stars
