(Tibbo) I'd like to use this planet we just found for our new civilization.
(Zilfer) It's excellent, but it's part of a 30-planet solar system.
(Zilfer) Their astrologers are going to go bananas.
602
Tibbo: Zilfer, does our new civilization like their planet?
Zilfer – They love it. Especially the ring that's around the planet.
Zilfer – they think of it as a permanent rainbow in the sky. [image of thick rainbow]
603
(Teg) Flossie, is Earth's sun in a constellation, as seen from Arcturus?
Flossie: Yes.
Teg – What do the Arcturians call that constellation?
Flossie: The Ostrich.
604
(Flossie) This planet I found is ideal for life, but it has seven equally-spaced moons.
[picture of planet with 7 moons]
(Scoot) Cool. So there will always be a full moon sometime during the night?
Flossie: Not necessarily.
605
(Flossie) Zilfer, how's your new civilization working out?
(Zilfer) Not well. Their planet's year is only 50 days long.
(Zilfer) Summer lasts for 12 days. And they don't like one-day vacations.
(Flossie) But they probably love living to be 400.
606
Flossie: My new planet’s civilization wanted a change of seasons, so I tilted the planet’s axis 25 degrees
Quark: And are they liking it?
Flossie: Now they’re complaining that Orion isn’t in the same place in the sky at 9 pm year round any more.
607
(Scoot) That galaxy looks promising for my new life forms.
(Zilfer) I did a drive-by in it. It has about 65 million stars. Of those stars, 7 million have solar systems.
(Zilfer) Of those, three thousand have planets with liquid water, an atmosphere and a mild temperature.
(Zilfer) Of those planets, one has a rotational period between 8 and 64 hours...
(Scoot) I call dibs on it!
608
Q: If we lived on a planet in the Pleiades star cluster, one of those stars would be our sun.
Q: What would the other stars of the cluster look like to us?
A: Small but very bright lights in the sky, visible day and night.
Q: How bright?
A: Maybe like moonlight on earth. And they would always stay in the same places relative to your sun.
609
(Man) Our ancient ancestors went to that star one time. There's pictures in the family scrapbook.
(Boy) That must have been an awesome trip.
(Man) The story is the little girl kept saying "Are we there yet?"
610
(Quark) One of your seeding planets is in the solar system of Arcturus, which is a large red star.
(Boy) What is it like living there?
(Quark) It's like looking through rose-colored glasses all the time.
611
(Man 1) That planet doesn't rotate. It has continuous daylight for half the year, and continuous night for the other half.
(Man 2) My teenager would kill for that plan.
612
(Man 1) That planet's period of rotation is the same as its revolution time around the sun.
(Man 1) It's similar to our moon - its rotation and revolution times are the same.
(Man 1) If you live on the sunlit side of that planet you never have night. Its day is the same as its year.
(Boy) Every day is your birthday!
613
(Quark) There a lot of spaceships around your planet now, from different places in the galaxy.
Q: Why are they here?
A: Everything from checking on your warmaking technology to hybridization programs.
A: And some are just tourists.
614
Q: Where are all these space visitors from?
A: Sirius, Antares, Vega, the Pleiades, Orion...
A: Also Zeta Reticuli and Alpheratz, but those stars are in different sectors of the galaxy and their civilizations don't get along.
Q: So there's galactic cliques?
A: Yes.
615
Q: Is there other advanced life besides humanoids?
A: Yes, there's reptilians and insect-like beings, that are of similar size and consciousness as humans.
Q: Will we ever see them?
A: Yes, if you can overcome your fear of humans and bugs.
616
(Scoot) I thought that the residents of our new small planet would enjoy having low gravity. It's easier to carry things.
(Zilfer) But they don't?
(Scoot) No. Their golf balls all go into the next county.
617
(Zilfer) The universe is expanding at an ever-faster rate.
(Flossie) Good. Maybe we'll soon be out of range of those evil Sirians.
