[00:01] Endou
Manaka, it looked like you chased
after us in the heat of the moment.
[00:06] ---
Don't tell me you came
without telling anyone.
[00:08] Ao
No, I asked my parents
and got their permission.
[00:12] Ao
I also asked Suzu-san for
an advance on my wages,
[00:15] Ao
and Monroe-senpai and Sakura-senpai
helped me book the flight.
[00:20] Mira
That was audacious of you.
[00:23] Ao
I was surprised at myself, too.
[00:25] Ao
But I regretted not doing anything
myself when my father was transferred.
[00:31] Mira
Why did you keep it a secret, though?
[00:33] Ao
That was Suzu-san's suggestion.
[00:36] Ao
She said Sensei would
definitely oppose the idea,
[00:38] ---
and if I'd told you, you would've told her.
[00:42] Mira
That was good advice.
[00:45] Endou
You're all so young.
[00:47] Endou
Though, if you had actually
asked me beforehand,
[00:50] ---
you could have accompanied
us as an observer.
[00:53] Endou
You'd still have to pay for
accommodation yourself,
[00:56] ---
but it was in the application notes.
[00:59] Endou
Well, you're here now, so you should
try asking as nicely as you can.
[01:03] Endou
I'll support you as best I can, too.
[01:06] Ao
Thank you—Ow!
[01:09] Mira
Are you okay?!
[01:10] Mira
I really should read
important notes more.
[01:13] Mira
I feel so much better with Ao here, though.
[01:16] Mira
I wonder what the other
participants are like.

[03:08] Ao
Yeah.

Excuse me.
[03:11] Guide
Yes?
[03:12] Ao
I-I'm Manaka.
[03:15] Ao
I failed the written screening,
[03:18] ---
but would it be possible to at least observe?
SIGN My Feelings About Space and the Stars
[03:22] Guide
What's this?
[03:23] Ao
I organized the portion that wouldn't
fit in my written application.
[03:28] Guide
That's heavy!
[03:29] Endou
Sorry about my student.
[03:31] Endou
Is the organizer around?
[03:33] Guide
Yes, over there.
[03:35] Endou
Hirose-san! It's been a long time.
[03:38] Hirose
Hey.
[03:39] Ao
Huh?
[03:40] Endou
Hirose-san has been organizing
this event since I attended.
SIGN Konohata Mira
SIGN Makita Shiho
[03:52] Hirose
Oh, so this is her?
[03:54] ---
The handful you mentioned on the phone.
[03:57] Ao
The handful?
[03:58] Makita
The handful?
[04:00] Ao
I'm sorry for being unreasonable.
[04:02] Hirose
No, I'm just surprised. I've never seen
a student as gutsy as her before.
[04:08] Hirose
Well, I can't send you packing
after you came this far.
[04:13] Hirose
Here.
[04:14] Mira
Huh? Then...
[04:16] Both
Thank you so much!
[04:18] Endou
Sorry about that.
[04:20] Hirose
Don't worry about it. It's our job
to help children pursue their dreams.
[04:26] Mira
I'm so glad!
[04:27] Ao
Yeah!
[04:30] Ino
She said she got permission to observe!
[04:33] Monroe
Good for her!
[04:35] Sakura
There's no way they'd send her back after
she went all the way to Ishigaki Island.
[04:39] Chikage
You were actually worried about her
the whole time. You're so cute.
[04:43] Sakura
Hey, Chikage!
[04:48] Sakura
It's been a whole year.
[04:50] Monroe
I'm happy I can come here with you again.
[04:53] Sakura
Wha... I'm just chaperoning
their summer camp as an alumnus.
[04:58] Sakura
We're not here to have fun.
[04:59] Monroe
Sure.
[05:01] Chikage
So this is a life-size artificial satellite?
[05:04] Ino
Yes! I was so impressed when I saw it
[05:07] ---
for the first time at our
summer camp last year!
[05:09] Ino
You and I may be part of the geology group,
[05:12] ---
but I think learning about
astronomy like this is fun, too.
[05:15] Chikage
Yes.
[05:17] Monroe
Mira and Ao were so enthusiastic about
asking everyone here about asteroids.
[05:22] Sakura
Yeah, they held up the guide and
peppered her with questions.
[05:26] Chikage
They really love them, huh?
[05:28] Nanami
But going there without
warning was too reckless.
[05:32] Chikage
You mean Ao-senpai?
[05:34] Nanami
She failed the screening,
so she shouldn't be barging in.
[05:43] Ino
You may be right, Nana-san.
[05:45] Ino
What she did certainly doesn't merit praise.
[05:48] Nanami
Why did you all support her, then?
[05:52] Ino
Over the past year, those two
have been making strides toward
[05:57] ---
their dream of discovering an asteroid.
[06:00] Ino
They gave it all they had, never accepting
that it was beyond their reach.
[06:04] Ino
They even managed to move in together,
which everyone thought was reckless,
[06:07] ---
and now they finally have this chance.
[06:10] (Flashback) Chikage
Isolation...
[06:11] (Flashback) Chikage
But they should take action
and move forward.
[06:17] Ino
Seeing Ao-san refuse to give up makes me
want to do all I can right now, too.
[06:28] Nanami
All I can do right now...

[06:31] Hanashima
Welcome to Ishigaki Island.
[06:33] Hanashima
I'm your counselor, Hanashima.
[06:36] Hanashima
Let's start by having everyone
introduce themselves.
[06:39] Hanashima
We'll start with you.
[06:42] Satou
I'm Satou, a third-year.
[06:43] Satou
I'm president of the science club.
[06:45] Satou
Nice to meet you all.
[06:47] Ao
There are several people here who
aren't from earth science clubs.
[06:50] Asuka
I'm Tomori Asuka, a second-year!
Astronomy club!
[06:53] Asuka
I came here from Honto. I love idols!
[06:56] Ao
Huh?
[06:58] Makita
I'm Makita Shiho, and I'm from Kyushu.
[07:02] Makita
I like people.
[07:05] Ao
Huh?
[07:07] Mira
I'm Konohata Mira, a second-year!
[07:09] Mira
I'm vice president of our earth sciences
club, and I like Saturn and Cetus!
[07:13] Ao
They make Mira seem normal.
SIGN Shining Star
Challenge
[07:16] Mira
The Shining Star Challenge,
or Shiny Challenge, would take three days.
[07:21] Mira
There would be lectures,
tours of the observatory,
[07:23] ---
observations, presentations
of our results, and much more!
[07:28] Asuka
Oh, hey, is that the
limited-edition Kanto one?
[07:31] Mira
Yeah. I brought it with me so I wouldn't
get sleepy during observation,
[07:36] Mira
but I'm so nervous, I haven't slept much.
[07:38] Mira
Would you like one, Tomorin?
[07:40] Asuka
Tomorin? I like that nickname.
[07:44] Asuka
Thanks for the coffee!
[07:46] Asuka
Whoa, it's sweet!
[07:48] Asuka
Miracchi, do you have a sweet tooth?
[07:49] Mira
Huh? No, not really.
[07:49] Ao
She's making friends already.
[07:51] Asuka
You sure?
[07:51] Ao
Wow.
[07:53] Makita
Um, do you have a moment?
[07:56] Ao
It's the girl who likes people.
[07:58] Makita
I heard your exchange at the check-in desk.
[08:00] Makita
You're here even though
you failed the screening?
[08:03] Ao
Yes. I couldn't just give up on it,
so I followed in secret.
[08:07] Makita
Wow. You seem so docile,
but you're pretty bold.
[08:11] Makita
I bet your brain is interesting.
[08:14] Ao
My brain?
[08:15] Teacher
We're heading out for the tour.
[08:18] Makita
Tell me the details later, okay?
[08:21] Ao
What is she going to do to me?
[08:24] Teacher
This is the VERA Ishigaki Station.
[08:27] Asuka
Wow, it's huge!
[08:30] Mira
The one used by the Geospatial
Information Authority of Japan?
[08:32] Teacher
You sure know your stuff.
[08:34] Teacher
It's a similar antenna to the
one that used to be in Tsukuba.
[08:38] Teacher
There are four of these antennas
located throughout Japan,
SIGN Mizusawa
SIGN Iriki
SIGN Ogasawara
SIGN Ishigaki Island
[08:41] Teacher
and together, they create a radio telescope
that's 2,300 kilometers in diameter.
[08:46] Azusa
This is a telescope?
[08:48] Azusa
Where do you look into it?
[08:50] Makita
You don't look with your eyes.
[08:51] ---
You use radio signals and look at the data.
[08:54] Asuka
Huh? And you can see stars that way?
[08:57] Asuka
Makita-chan, are you a space case?
[09:00] Makita
I do get called that sometimes, but I'm not.
[09:02] Hirose
The VERA mainly observes maser bodies
that emit strong electromagnetic signals,
[09:07] Hirose
to try and create a 3-D map of the Milky Way.
[09:10] Mira
A map?
SIGN Maser Source
SIGN Distance
SIGN Stellar Parallax
SIGN Relative VLBI
SIGN Earth
SIGN 1 AU
SIGN Sun
[09:11] Hirose
We triangulate the astral
bodies in space using their
[09:15] ---
stellar parallax to determine
their precise position and motion.
[09:19] Hirose
So this time, we're going to have
[09:21] ---
the electromagnetic group use VERA
to try and pinpoint a new maser object.
[09:25] Mira
They can make maps of space, too.
[09:28] Ao
I should tell Ino-senpai about this.
[09:33] Mira
Wow, it's so big!
[09:36] Mira
And it's kind of cute!
[09:38] Hanashima
The Murikabushi Telescope
has a 105-centimeter aperture.
[09:41] Hanashima
It's the largest reflecting
telescope in Kyushu, Okinawa.
[09:45] Mira
Murky bush?
[09:47] Tomori
Murikabushi. It's the local
name for the Pleiades.
[09:51] Hanashima
Here, we conduct observations
using visible and infrared light.
[09:55] Hanashima
If you're hunting for asteroids,
this is the one to use.
[09:59] Tomori
By "reflecting telescope," do they mean
it uses mirrors rather than lenses?
[10:03] Mira
Well, uh... the light reflects off the
primary mirror and the secondary mirror...
[10:08] Makita
Murikabushi is a Cassegrain
reflector telescope.
[10:12] Makita
It uses a primary concave mirror and a
secondary convex mirror to form the image.
[10:16] Makita
It has three focal lenses for
research and observation, too.
[10:19] Mira
You know a lot about telescopes!
[10:21] Makita
I've never seen the stars
through a telescope, though.
[10:26] Tomori
Huh?
SIGN Electromagnetic Group
SIGN Optical Group
[10:27] Hirose
Now that we're finished with the tour,
[10:29] ---
we'll be splitting into the electromagnetic
group and the optical group.
[10:33] Hirose
Each group will get to try searching
for celestial objects themselves.
[10:37] Mira
I hope we get along, Tomorin, Makki!
[10:39] Tomori
Me, too.
[10:41] Makita
Makki?
[10:43] Hirose
We'll begin our observations after dinner.
[10:45] Hirose
Make sure you eat up and give it your all.
[10:47] ---
Okay!
[10:50] Mira
Huh? Ao and Sensei are gone.
[10:52] Makita
Now that you mention it, so is my teacher.
[10:56] Mira
Oh, I got a message.
[10:58] Mira
They said they're grabbing dinner.
[11:00] Endou
They don't provide meals for us, after all.
[11:04] Endou
It's my treat tonight, so eat up.
[11:06] Ao
Thank you.
[11:08] Ao
I need to eat quick,
since observation starts soon.
[11:14] Hayakawa
Yuki-chan, sorry for the wait!
[11:16] Endou
Oh, over here!
[11:18] Ao
Oh, that's the lady from the hall...
[11:21] Ao
Makita's chaperone, Hayakawa.
[11:24] Endou
She was in my group when I took
part in the Shiny Challenge.
[11:28] Endou
Man, to think we'd both
end up becoming teachers.
[11:32] Endou
I never would have imagined it back then.
[11:35] Hayakawa
Me neither.
[11:37] Endou
It's kind of fun though, isn't it?
[11:39] Endou
Getting to eat hamburgers
together here again.
[11:42] Hayakawa
I figured you'd be drinking root beer.
[11:45] Endou
How can I not drink it when I'm here?
[11:48] ---
True.
[11:50] Endou
Ah, that's good!
[11:51] Ao
This is going to take a while...
[11:52] Endou
Want one, Kayo?
[11:53] Hayakawa
I had some earlier.
[12:03] Mira
Our optical group went to the observatory
to make our observations, but...
[12:13] Tomori
That was rough, right after dinner.
[12:15] Mira
That was a really winding road.
[12:18] Hanashima
If you're not feeling well,
do want to lie down for a bit?
[12:20] Hanashima
We have a nap room here for the researchers.
[12:23] Ao
A researcher's bed!
[12:25] Ao
I wonder what it's like.
[12:26] Mira
I want to try it out!
[12:28] Makita
You girls are so excited.
[12:33] Hanashima
Now, where do you think the
asteroids we're after are located?
[12:38] Makita
The asteroid belt.
[12:38] mira
The asteroid belt!
[12:39] Tomori
Oh, a duet.
[12:41] Hanashima
That's right.
[12:42] Hanashima
So, what region of the sky
should we be observing, then?
[12:45] Both
The region in opposition!
[12:47] Tomori
This time they're in unison.
[12:48] Mira
That's the region where it's
closest to Earth, right?
[12:51] Hanashima
Right.
[12:53] Hanashima
Horiguchi-san, if you would.
[12:55] Horiguchi
Sure.
SIGN Sun Earth Opposition
[12:56] Horiguchi
As Konohata-san said,
this is the region in opposition.
[12:59] Horiguchi
Asteroids reflect the light from the sun,
[13:02] ---
so they're brightest when
they're in opposition.
[13:05] Tomori
So it's like when the idol
comes front and center
[13:08] ---
on the stage to bathe in the spotlight?
[13:11] Makita
What are you talking about?
[13:13] Hanashima
The observatories and space telescopes
throughout the world have already
[13:17] ---
discovered most of the bright objects
with their full sky surveys.
[13:19] Hanashima
Most of the undiscovered asteroids
are dimmer than magnitude 20-21.
SIGN Asteroid
SIGN Sun Earth Opposition
[13:24] Tomori
Survey?
[13:25] Makuita
Astronomical surveys.
[13:27] Tomori
Astronomical?
[13:28] Mira
They observe a wide region all at once.
[13:32] Tomori
Wow.
SIGN Astronomical
[13:33] Horiguchi
By the way, here's how it's written.
[13:35] Hanashima
Next, we'll explain how to
conduct your observations.
[13:37] Tomori
Wait, am I the only one getting
left behind here? Panic!
[13:43] Makita
What are you doing?
[13:45] Tomori
I want a partner, too!
[13:46] Tomori
Come with me!
[13:47] Ao
Huh?
[13:51] Ao
S-Sure!
[13:53] Hanashima
This time, we'll be marking each
0.2 view of angular diameter
[13:58] ---
as a single section of
the region in opposition.
[14:01] Ao
The moon fills an angular
diameter of 0.5, so...
SIGN 0.5 angular diameter
SIGN Moon
[14:05] Ao
it's about this big?
SIGN the order we'll observe in
[14:07] Hanashima
We'll be taking five shots per section
[14:09] ---
with a six-minute exposure time each,
so that's 30 minutes to photograph each one.
[14:13] Hanashima
We'll be conducting our observations
this way for as long as time permits.
[14:17] Mira
I-I'm just so happy to be learning
an astronomer's know-how in person!
[14:21] Mira
Until now, it's all been
through books or the Internet.
[14:24] Tomori
I know!
[14:26] Tomori
Going to see concerts live is the best!
[14:28] Ao
Their conversation actually meshed.
[14:30] Hanashima
Once we reduce the noise
from our photograph data,
[14:33] Hanashima
we analyze the photos with
our asteroid survey software.
[14:36] Hanashima
We create a continuous
display of those five images
[14:38] ---
by overlapping the fixed stars, and...
[14:43] Hanashima
The objects in motion are your asteroids.
[14:46] Mira
There are so many in a single section!
[14:48] Ao
There are a lot more than I imagined.
[14:50] Hanashima
The ones with red marks on them
are the currently known asteroids.
[14:54] Hanashima
Blue marks appear on the ones that are
potentially new, undiscovered asteroids.
[14:57] Tomori
Huh... looks pretty hard to find one.
[15:00] Makita
Not to mention, you need at least
[15:04] ---
two different observations of a
new asteroid, if I remember right.
[15:07] Mira
Huh?! Then you're saying we're completely
finished if we can't find one tonight?!
[15:12] Hanashima
I-If you do happen to find
a potential discovery,
[15:15] ---
I'll take charge of the
follow-up observation.
[15:17] Makita
There's another factor making
observation difficult.
[15:21] Ao
Oh, a weather monitor.
[15:24] Hanashima
I was worried about that. The cloud
patterns definitely aren't looking good.
[15:28] Mira
Oh, no...
[15:29] Tomori
In that case, let's hurry up and get started!
[15:31] Tomori
It's better to have as
many chances as possible!
[15:34] Mira
Yeah!
[15:36] Hanashima
All right. Let's start loading
up the photo program.
[15:42] Ino
Thank you so much for taking
such good care of us again.
[15:46] Grandfather
You're Yuki's precious students, after all.
[15:50] Grandfather
We're happy that you visited again.
[15:53] Nana
Does he love astronomy, too?
[15:55] Chika
Now that you mention it, he's been
wearing that this whole time.
[15:58] Monroe
That was a souvenir our teacher
bought for him at JAXA last year.
[16:04] Ino
Huh?
[16:06] Sakura
What? Is it from the girls?
[16:08] Ino
Yes. They said the weather
is bad down there,
[16:11] ---
so their observation isn't going well.
[16:14] Chika
After they finally got this chance
to realize their dream, too...
[16:22] Nana
Senpai, use these!
[16:24] Ino
Oh, you mean to make teruteru bouzu dolls?
[16:26] Nan
Yes! Let's make enough
to reach Ishigaki Island!
[16:31] Grandfather
Oh, I'll make some, too.
[16:46] Grandmother
Goodness, we sure did make a lot.
[16:49] Nana
It's not enough.
[16:50] Nana
We should make more!
[16:55] Mira
Our fourth observation...
[16:59] Tomori
They're all known objects.
[17:02] Makita
Hey, it looks like the
weather's getting worse.
[17:06] Mira
Go faster!
[17:07] Endou
Now, now.
[17:08] Mira
Sensei!
[17:09] Endou
Sometimes there's no point in panicking.
[17:13] Hayakawa
Let's have some tea
and wait for it to clear up.
[17:15] Mira
There are so many sweets!
[17:17] Makita
H-Having snacks this late?
[17:21] Hayakawa
The guilty pleasure only
makes them taste better!
[17:23] Hayakawa
Oh, we have cup noodles, too.
[17:26] Tomori
Wow. You're both former
participants in the Shiny Challenge?
[17:30] Endou
Yeah. The weather was like this then, too.
[17:33] Hayakawa
Yuki-chan was in such a panic,
determined to produce results.
[17:38] Endou
No, it wasn't that bad.
[17:42] Grandmother
Yuki-chan used to have
a very serious attitude.
[17:45] Grandmother
Like she was straining herself for something.
[17:47] Grandfather
This is how stiff her expression used to be.
[17:50] Sakura
You mean our Endou-sensei?
[17:53] Hanashima
I have photos of you
from back then right here.
[17:56] Endou
You, too?! I'm so embarrassed!
[17:59] Ao
She's so young.
[17:59] Mira
Sensei, your expression's so stiff!
[18:02] Makit
This is Hayakawa-sensei...
[18:05] Ao
Who's this?
[18:06] Endou
Oh, that's Nishina-chan.
[18:09] Endou
She's an astronomer overseas now.
[18:11] Tomori
Wow!
[18:12] Endou
She really was an incredible girl.
[18:14] Endou
She knew so much.
[18:16] Endou
Not just about astronomy,
but about history and literature, too.
[18:20] Hayaka
She just had so much fun learning new things.
[18:24] Endou
She's the one who got me into it, too.
[18:30] Mira
Wow.
[18:34] Endou
I didn't discover any asteroids in the end,
[18:38] Endou
but I got something even better out of it.
[18:42] Endou
Honestly, the interactions we have
with others are so important.
[18:45] Endou
Those encounters can be enough
to change a person's world.
[18:49] Mira
You kind of seem more mature
than usual right now.
[18:52] Hanashima
She's truly a good teacher, huh?
[18:55] Endou
E-Enough about us! You should
go interact with your peers!
[18:59] Endou
Hanashima-san, I'm borrowing the nap room!
[19:02] Hayakawa
She's just as cute as ever.
[19:05] Hayakawa
I'll be in the nap room, too.
[19:07] Makita
Hey, Manaka-san, I forgot to ask.
[19:09] ---
Why did you come all the way here?
[19:12] Tomori
You have a lot of guts to come
observe us by yourself.
[19:16] Ao
I made a promise to Mira
when we were children.
[19:19] Mira
We're going to discover an
asteroid and name it after her.
[19:22] Ao
To make that happen, I need to gather
a lot more knowledge and experience.
[19:26] Makita
Wow. What a big, romantic dream!
[19:30] Makita
I'm sad it wasn't because
you heard voices from space.
[19:35] Ao
Why is she disappointed?
[19:37] Mira
Why are you participating, Makki?
[19:39] Makita
I came here to expand my horizons
and meet all kinds of new people.
[19:44] Makita
It's not directly related to astronomy,
but I'm trying to become a counselor.
[19:48] Ao
That explains the comment about my brain.
[19:50] Tomori
I wanted to meet Neon!
[19:53] Mira
Neon?
[19:54] Tomori
The idol who loves astronomy, Amane Neon!
[19:56] Tomori
They hold a Star Festival after
the Shiny Challenge, right?
[19:59] Tomori
She's this year's guest!
[20:01] Tomori
I get to see Neon in person!
[20:02] Tomori
I might be able to get close to her!
[20:04] Mira
Everyone really is here
for different reasons.
[20:07] Hanashima
Sorry, everyone, but it doesn't look
like the weather will clear up tonight.
[20:12] Hanashima
Let's call it a night.
[20:13] Mira
What? But...
[20:15] Hanashima
Instead, why don't we practice looking
for them using past photo data?
[20:19] Mira
O-Okay!
[20:21] Hanashima
What would you like to do, Manaka-san?
[20:23] Hanashima
You could return to the dorms with
Endou-san and the others, if you'd like.
[20:27] Ao
No! Please let me observe until the very end!
[20:56] Ino
Looks like the weather cleared
up on Ishigaki Island!
[20:58] Sakura
Really?!
[20:59] Sakura
Th-That's good.
[21:02] Monroe
I wonder if we helped make that happen.
[21:06] Chika
Your feelings made it through, Nana-chan.
[21:09] Nana
Yeah.
[21:12] Ao
Here you go.
[21:13] Woman
Oh, are you heading out already?
[21:16] Ao
Yes.
[21:18] Satou
Hey.
[21:19] Satou
What are we doing about
the afternoon observation?
[21:21] Man
Yeah, let's figure that out now.
[21:22] Makita
Electromagnetic observation is nice,
since it's not affected by the time.
[21:26] Tomori
I guess we're all studying
during the day today.
[21:29] Tomori
I think I'll need to drink a lot of coffee.
SIGN Guava Juice
[21:33] Woman
Here. Stay hydrated.
[21:36] Ao
Thank you.
[21:38] Woman
Try not to push yourself too hard.
[21:40] Woman
It's going to be hot and sunny today.
[21:42] Ao
Sunny?
[21:43] Tomori
I'm not sleepy! I'm not sleepy!
[21:47] Makita
Are you okay? You're spacing out.
[21:49] Mira
Oh, yeah!
[21:53] Mira
It's okay.
[21:54] Mira
We still have a chance.
[21:58] Mira
Tonight, it'll happen.
[22:00] Ao
I'm sure!
SIGN 12. Connected Cosmos
[23:36] Mira
Next time, "Connected Cosmos."
