"},"story":{"type":"story","instructions":"Code a conversation to show what you know about the solar system. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, with more than 45 moons orbiting it. The heliopause is shown as a dark orange semicircle to the left of the termination shock with a bigger radius than the circle that represents the termination shock. It was named after the Roman god of the sea, probably because its so blue. An animation shows the two X-marks going beyond the termination shock and closer to the heliopause. The animation shows the earlier view with the four inner planets. The other shows an even a closer view, in which floating rocks can be seen. TIM: Comets are clumps of ice and dust that orbit the sun. TIM: Yup, Pluto is also a Kuiper belt object. It is depicted with blotches of white and gray regions. TIM: On its surface, there's a permanent storm, called the Great Red Spot. TIM: No, you couldn't go there you'd probably either melt or freeze!

Others include Ceres, the largest object in the Asteroid Belt, and an object named Eris, which is slightly larger than Pluto. An animation shows Pluto rotating in space. TIM: The four outer planets are really far from the sun, so they're much colder. TIM: Over millions of years, gravity drew a lot of this stuff together, into clumps. Planet X was the name given for a theoretical planet some astronomers thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. An animation shows an icy comet speeding toward the sun. The first is labeled Orcus, the second is labeled Quaoar, and the third, the smallest one, is labeled Varuna.. Although it's pretty dry right now, scientists think Mars was once much more like Earth, possibly with oceans and rivers flowing on its surface. TIM: Comets are totally different than asteroids. An animation first shows the sun and several other planets surrounded by a ring of gray specks, and then zooms out to show the entire solar system, represented by light purple dots arranged in a spherical pattern against a night sky. TIM: Well well, how do you know? An animation shows Venus, with gassy yellow and orange swirls covering its surface. TIM: The cloud also began to spin, with the biggest clump in the center. The Oort Cloud is even further from the sun. When it gets close to the sun, the dust and ice form long, wispy tails that you can sometimes see from Earth. The rings are a thin layer of millions of chunks of ice and rock. An animation first shows the sun, the planets, the Kuiper belt, and the scattered disc objects. TIM: Dear Tim and Moby, can you tell me all about the solar system? One planet is dark purple with a white ring around its center, and the other is small and brown. The camera zooms in on Tim and Moby. It then zooms out to show a big spherical object composed of light colored particles. Charon partially overlapping it on the left, and two small, gray moons labeled Hydra and Nix above and below it. Please enable JavaScript on your browser.

Then show the movie once through without pausing. TIM: Right, the solar system isn't just planets and the sun there are lots of smaller bodies floating out there, too. Hearts float above Earth. Stars and other small colored objects are shown. TIM: Yeah, I guess Earth's my favorite, too. Mars moves out of view and is replaced by a drawing of the Moon. The upper one is labeled "Kuiper Belt" and the lower one is labeled "Oort Cloud". Another image shows a lake surrounded by hills of trees. TIM: Other large Kuiper bodies include Orcus, Quaoar, and Varuna. TIM: But Pluto wasnt massive enough to fit the estimates of Planet Xs probable size. TIM: Saturn is another gas giant, about 100 times more massive than Earth. It started out around four and a half billion years agoBack then, our solar system was just a cloud of gas and dust, probably left over from the explosion of a star. TIM: Most of them are concentrated in the Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter. An image is divided vertically into three equal parts and shows three round bodies of different colors decreasing in size from left to right. The biggest, Titan, is one of the only moons with a thick atmosphere. It likely had oceans and rivers, and its atmosphere contained more heat-trapping gases. He hugs the ground and has a large grin on his robotic face. An animation shows Tim peering into a telescope pointed at the night sky. An animation shows Moby looking at Tim.
