[00:00] Tomori
    Cleaning's all done!
[00:03] Tomori
    Okay, let's go, Miracchi, Makki!
[00:05] Both
    Yeah.
[00:07] Mira
    Oh, I forgot my phone.
    You two go on ahead.
[00:10] Tomori
    Okay, okay.
[00:15] Mira
    Oh, Ino-senpai.
SIGN    Morning!
[00:19] Ino&Text
    Good morning! I'm glad it's sunny!
[00:22] Mira&Text
    All thanks to your teruteru bouzu dolls!
[00:27] Ino
    We're all rooting for you!
[00:39] Mira
    Ao!
[00:42] ---
    Good morning!
[00:43] Ao
    Good morning, Mira.
[00:45] Ao
    It's sunny today, huh?
[00:46] Mira
    Yeah!
[00:49] Mira
    We might get to realize our dream today!
[00:52] Mira
    Let's find your star, Ao!
SIGN    12. Connected Cosmos
[02:31] Mira
    After observing until morning,
    we entered day two of the Shiny Challenge.
[02:35] Mira
    Today starts with our study session.
[02:38] Hanashima
    Okay, read the next page, Konohata-san.
[02:41] Mira
    Okay.
[02:42] Mira
    "Asteroids are small solar system bodies
    that form when rocks smash into planetoids.
[02:48] Mira
    On the other hand, trans-Neptunian
    objects are said to be
[02:49] Ao
    Mira, you can do it!
[02:52] ---
    ice leftover from the creation
     of the solar sausage..."
[02:57] Mira
    Sausage?
[03:02] Hanashima
    Let's take a break, shall we?
[03:04] Tomori
    "An asteroid's reflectance spectrum
[03:07] ---
    is derived from ordinary
    chondrite in S-types and"
[03:13] ---
    carbonaceous chondrite in C-types.
[03:15] Tomori
    What's that?
[03:17] Makita
    When you analyze an asteroid's light,
[03:19] ---
    you can identify its general composition.
[03:22] Tomori
    Wow. So there are different
    types of asteroids, too?
[03:26] Hanashima
    For example, the asteroid Hayabusa
    launched at was the stony S-type, Itokawa.
[03:31] Hanashima
    The one that Hayabusa 2 was launched
    at was a carbonaceous C-type.
[03:35] Horiguchi
    Unlike planetoids, most asteroids
    haven't gone through thermal evolution.
[03:40] Tomori
    Meaning they're the same
    as they were long ago?
[03:43] Tomori
    Like cookies before they're baked?
[03:45] Horiguchi
    That's right.
[03:46] Horiguchi
    By studying asteroid rocks,
[03:49] ---
    we can trace the history of our solar system.
[03:51] Ao
    I see...
[03:54] Mira
    Going to space and bringing back rocks, huh?
[03:58] Ao
    Sounds like a joint project between
    the astronomy and geology groups.
[04:01] Tomori
    You're in the earth sciences club, right?
[04:04] Tomori
    Why was it split into groups?
[04:06] Ao
    Uh...
[04:07] Mira
    Because it was formed by
    merging two different clubs.
[04:10] Tomori
    Huh.
[04:11] Tomori
    I guess it's true that there are a lot
    of fields lumped into earth sciences.
[04:15] Tomori
    It's literally "the science of Earth," right?
[04:17] Makita
    Some call it geological sciences, too.
[04:20] Makita
    Geoscience for short.
[04:22] Mira
    Geoscience...
[04:25] Mira
    Geoscience club...
[04:29] Makita
    This should be all the reading we
    need to do for tomorrow's presentation.
[04:33] Tomori
    Right!
[04:34] Tomori
    All that's left now is to hope
    tonight's observation goes well!
[04:39] Makita
    Looks like the weather will be okay tonight.
[04:42] Mira
    Yeah.
SIGN    Observation Control Room
[04:49] Endou
    Hanashima-san, Horiguchi-san,
    please take care of them.
[04:53] Both
    Sure.
[04:54] Hayakawa
    Well, good luck.
[04:56] Endou
    And have fun!
[04:58] Four
    Okay!
[05:00] Hanashima
    We'll begin photographing now.
[05:03] Hanashima
    This will take a little time,
[05:04] ---
    so why don't you all go out and look
    at the stars while it's running?
[05:08] Mira
    Can we?!
[05:10] Hanashima
    Of course.
[05:11] Horiguchi
    There aren't many clouds out today,
    so you should have a great view.
[05:15] Tomori
    We still have some of
    last night's candy left!
[05:18] Makita
    There's a lot.
[05:19] Mira
    Let's bring drinks, too.
[05:21] Ao
    I need my camera...
[05:30] Mira
    Wow! It's the Milky Way!
[05:33] Ao
    It's my first time seeing it so clearly.
[05:36] Ao
    Oh, Mars is incredible!
[05:39] Makita
    It's in close approach this year, too.
[05:42] Makita
    I think it's about -2, maybe -5 right now?
[05:45] Tomori
    Oh, a shooting star!
[05:47] Mira
    Ao!
[05:48] Ao
    Yeah!
[06:08] Tomori
    I see.
[06:10] ---
    So after the Shiny Challenge is over,
    it's straight to entrance exams for you.
[06:13] Makita
    I am taking them this year,
    so I have summer courses.
[06:18] Tomori
    What about you, Miracchi and Aocchi?
[06:20] Both
    Huh?
[06:21] Tomori
    What are you going to do after
    you discover an asteroid?
[06:23] Makita
    Are you going to try to become
    researchers like Hanashima-san?
[06:29] Mira
    Our senpai asked us the same thing once,
[06:32] ---
    but I don't know yet.
[06:35] Mira
    I want to discover an
    asteroid and name it Ao.
[06:39] Mira
    If we're able to make that dream come true,
[06:42] Mira
    then maybe I'll come up with a new dream.
[06:48] Tomori
    I see.
[06:50] Tomori
    You're taking it one day at a time!
[06:53] Makita
    You both do seem to live in the present.
[06:57] Both
    Yeah.
[06:59] Tomori
    Let's do our best to find one!
[07:00] Tomori
    It'd feel great to help you two
    achieve your dream, after all.
[07:04] Makita
    Yeah, let's do our best.
[07:08] Mira
    We've finally made it this far.
[07:14] Hanashima
    The first round of photographs is done.
[07:18] Hanashima
    Let's do our best to cover
    yesterday's share, too.
[07:20] Four
    Right!
[07:23] Horiguchi
    There are more stars than last night.
[07:25] Tomori
    Yeah.
[07:30] Ao
    Doesn't look like there are any new ones.
[07:33] Tomori
    Send me the data, too!
[07:35] Tomori
    I'll double-check it!
[08:00] Makita
    How about this region?
[08:02] Tomori
    Nope, nothing.
[08:05] Mira
    Nothing but known ones here.
[08:07] Hanashima
    Conditions aren't bad tonight,
[08:09] ---
    so it's up to your luck and tenacity.
[08:11] Mira
    Luck, huh?
[08:13] Hanashima
    Asteroids are rotating,
    and many are misshapen,
[08:17] Hanashima
    so they can suddenly seem brighter,
    depending on the angle.
[08:21] Ao
    Mira! Look here!
[08:22] Ao
    It's moving!
[08:25] Makita
    Which one?
[08:25] Ao
    Right here.
[08:27] Horiguchi
    You're right.
[08:28] Horiguchi
    The image is unclear,
    so the auto-discovery isn't reading it...
[08:32] Makita
    There's a chance it could just be noise, too.
[08:34] Horiguchi
    Hanashima-san, just to be sure,
    can you try updating our database
[08:38] ---
    of known astronomical objects?
[08:40] Hanashima
    Right.
[08:43] Mira
    Ao...
[08:45] Hanashima
    Well, what shall we do?
[08:47] Hanashima
    Shall we photograph the same
    region once more to confirm,
[08:51] ---
    or try aiming for another region?
[08:54] Makita
    It takes 30 minutes to photograph one region.
[08:57] Makita
    Keeping in mind the time we need to create
    our presentation materials for tomorrow...
[09:00] Horiguchi
    We can only photograph
    one more region tonight.
[09:04] Tomori
    Let's photograph the same region again.
[09:07] Tomori
    We should place our bets
    on the highest probability.
[09:10] Makita
    Right.
[09:11] Mira
    Tomorin, Makki...
[09:18] Mira
    Please!
[09:20] Hanashima
    All right.
[09:30] Mira
    Okay, we're done running the initial
    processing on the photograph data.
[09:34] Tomori
    It's the moment of truth.
[09:37] Mira
    Hey, let's all push it together.
[09:39] Tomori
    Of course!
[09:42] Makita
    Kinda feels like we're a sports team.
[09:44] Tomori
    What's wrong with that?
    Let's get our spirits up!
[09:47] Four
    One, two...
[09:53] Mira
    It's a known object...
[09:55] Makita
    That's a shame.
[09:57] Mira
    Still, now I know it's actually within reach.
[10:01] Mira
    Finding a real asteroid is within our reach.
[10:05] Ao
    Yeah.
[10:12] Tomori
    Presenting our results when we
    haven't found anything feels kind of...
[10:16] Makita
    You still need to do the work.
[10:19] Hanashima
    It's still important to write your reports,
[10:21] ---
    even if you didn't produce
    the results you hoped for.
[10:25] Hanashima
    It will become precious information
[10:28] ---
    for the others observing after you.
[10:31] Hanashima
    Case in point,
[10:32] ---
    you made your observations while referencing
    past research data and documentation.
[10:36] Tomori
    That's right! Thank you,
    all who came before us!
[10:40] Mira
    Let's do our best, Ao!
[10:42] Ao
    Yeah.
SIGN    Murikabushi Telescope
[10:49] Mira
    I think this works for our
    explanation of the telescope.
[10:52] Makita
    Yeah, I think so.
[10:55] Ao
    Oh, I have a picture of the Murikabushi.
[10:58] Mira
    Oh, right. It'll be easier
    to understand with pictures!
[11:02] Tomori
    Aocchi, lend me your camera!
[11:04] Ao
    Sure.
[11:05] Makita
    Let's make the pages on
    the observation procedure
[11:07] ---
    while she does that, Mira-chan.
[11:09] Mira
    Roger that!
[11:11] Tomori
    Let's use pictures of the stars, too.
[11:13] Both
    Good idea!
[11:22] Maki
    The summary pages are done.
[11:26] Mira
    It's already morning...
[11:30] Tomori
    All the memos and photos you took
    were a big help, Ao. Thank you.
[11:35] Ao
    No, I should apologize for butting in
    so much when I'm just an observer.
[11:40] Ao
    I had a lot of fun, though!
[11:44] Makita
    Let's have a private discussion
    about your personality, then.
[11:50] Mira
    We give our presentation in a few hours.
[11:53] Tomori
    Go to sleep.
[11:59] Mira
    In the end, neither the optical
    group nor the electromagnetic group
[12:02] ---
    were able to discover any
    new astronomical objects.
[12:05] Mira
    I don't think this experience
    was a waste, though.
[12:09] Mira
    As Hanashima-san told us,
[12:11] ---
    "This will become precious information
    for the others observing after you."
[12:18] Mira
    We'll make use of our results
    this time around, and one day,
[12:22] ---
    I'm sure we'll discover
    a new astronomical object.
[12:25] All
    Thank you very much!
[12:41] Ao
    Thank you very much for allowing
    me to sit in and watch.
[12:45] Mira
    Thank you very much!
[12:47] Takase
    How was the Shiny Challenge for you?
[12:50] Ao
    I'm glad I came!
[12:52] Ao
    It's made me want to study even more.
[12:55] Mira
    I plan to use what I learned here
    to discover an asteroid someday!
[13:01] Hanashima
    I'm looking forward to that.
[13:03] Horiguchi
    Please come visit again.
[13:06] Both
    We will!
SIGN    Ishigaki Youth Center
[13:08] Makita
    If I get into a university near you all,
[13:10] ---
    I'll come pay you a visit.
[13:12] Ao
    Okay.
[13:13] Tomori
    Me, too!
[13:14] Tomori
    I'll come visit when I save up enough
    to come down for Neon's tour!
[13:19] Tomori
    Please let me stay with you girls when I do!
[13:21] Mira
    Of course!
[13:23] Tomori
    Oh, right! I want to take
    a commemorative photo!
[13:25] Makita
    Great idea! Where should we take it?
[13:28] Endou
    A photo? In that case...
[13:31] Hayakawa
    There's only one place.
[13:32] Endou
    Yeah.
[13:39] Endou
    Ready whenever you are.
[13:42] Mira
    One, two...
[13:47] Mira
    That concluded our participation
    in the Shining Star Challenge.
[13:55] Mira
    It went by so quickly.
[13:56] Ao
    Yeah. I had fun, though.
[14:00] Mira
    I'm glad we got to meet Tomorin and Makki.
[14:03] Ao
    It was fun getting to work
    in a team with people
[14:06] ---
    from completely different fields.
[14:08] Mira
    Yeah.
[14:09] Mira
    In that sense, it's the same
    as the earth sciences club.
[14:13] Mira
    Astronomy and geology,
     and now meteorology, too...
[14:23] Misa
    How did it go on Ishigaki Island?
[14:25] Mira
    It was really fun!
[14:28] Misa
    I see.
[14:29] ---
    That's great to hear.
[14:30] Mira
    I got to chat with new friends
    under the starry sky.
[14:35] Mira
    Oh, and we even stayed up all night
    preparing our presentation material!
[14:38] Misa
    Sounds like it was a great
    experience for you, Mira.
[14:45] Misa
    When do you think you'll
    be coming home next?
[14:54] Nana
    Welcome back, Senpai!
[14:56] All
    Welcome back!
[14:58] Mira
    Thanks!
[14:58] Ao
    Thanks.
[15:01] Eve
    Now, you two...
[15:03] Eve
    I'm thinking of a running a special feature
[15:05] ---
    on the Shining Star Challenge in
     our new issue after summer break.
[15:08] Mira
    A special feature?!
[15:10] Usami
    So please let us interview you soon.
[15:13] Ao
    Interview...
[15:15] Suzu
    Hello!
[15:16] Megu
    Hello.
[15:18] Mira
    Suzu-chan, Megu-chan!
[15:20] Monroe
    Wow, long time no see!
[15:22] Suzu
    It really has been a long time!
[15:25] Suzu
    I brought some of Suzuya's
    delicious bread and sweets...
[15:28] Suzu
    Wait, huh? There's a bunch of sweets here.
[15:31] Ino
    They're souvenirs from Mira-chan and Ao-san.
[15:33] Megu
    Looks like we're overlapping with them, Onee.
[15:36] Monroe
    Suzuya's bread is more than welcome!
[15:38] Sakura
    I've been wanting to eat some forever.
[15:41] Suzu
    Senpai!
[15:42] Sakura
    Hey!
[15:46] Both
    Thanks for the snacks!
[15:48] Megu
    Onee, I'm heading back to my club now.
[15:51] Suzu
    Okay, thanks.
[15:53] Ao
    Oh, Megu-san, here.
[15:56] Megu
    Star sand?
[15:57] Suzu
    How cute.
[15:59] Suzu
    Stars and sand... Reminds you
     of the earth sciences club.
[16:02] Mira
    Those are actually the shells of
    a creature called Foraminifera.
[16:07] Ao
    Yeah. The older ones are known
    as index fossils or facies fossils.
[16:11] Ao
    They're used to determine the geological
     period and the environment of the time.
[16:15] Suzu
    Megu, this is going to take
    a while, so you can go.
[16:18] Megu
    Thank you for the souvenir. See you later!
[16:23] Monroe
    This is still incredible.
[16:26] Monroe
    I can't believe you collected
    this much in just three days.
[16:30] Mira
    It was a bit challenging,
    but we had Ao helping us, too.
[16:34] Ao
    Um...
[16:37] Mira
    Ao?
[16:38] Ao
    Thank you so much!
[16:40] Ao
    I couldn't have made it to Ishigaki
    Island without all of your help.
[16:44] Ao
    I never could have gone on my own.
[16:48] Ino
    We wanted you both to go, together.
[16:51] Chika
    Yeah.
[16:52] Chika
    Everyone was cheering you on
    during our entire summer camp.
[16:57] Mira
    Oh, thank you for the teruteru bouzu dolls, too!
[17:00] Ino
    That was Nana-chan's idea.
[17:03] Mira
    Huh? Really?!
[17:05] Mira
    Nana-chan, thank you!
[17:07] Mira
    They really helped!
[17:09] Nana
    I didn't do anything...
[17:11] Nana
    Um, I've loaded the photo data.
[17:14] Ino
    Wow, I want to see!
[17:16] Suzu
    Me, too!
[17:24] Monroe
    So pretty!
[17:25] Sakura
    I wish I could have seen this in person.
[17:29] Chika
    It looks like fun...
[17:32] Mira
    These two are Tomorin and Makki.
[17:34] Mira
    They were in our group.
[17:36] Suzu
    Tell me more!
[17:39] Mira
    Oh, it's from Tomorin!
[17:41] Tomori&Text
    Yoo-hoo!
[17:43] Tomori&Text
    Guess what?! I got to meet Neon
    in person at the Star Festival!
[17:46] Mira&Text
    Wow! Good for you, Tomorin!
[17:49] Tomori&Text
    I was so happy, my memory's missing in places.
[17:52] Ao&Text
    What?!
[17:54] Makita&Text
    Sounds like temporary amnesia
    caused by extreme stress.
[18:01] Monroe
    Hey, why don't we all go stargazing
    for the first time in a while?
[18:06] Endou
    I already got permission for you.
[18:07] Both
    Sensei!
[18:09] Sakura
    How long have you been there?
[18:11] Endou
    Here.
[18:12] Ino
    Thank you so much!
[18:14] Nana
    So she wasn't just the barbecue magistrate.
[18:17] Endou
    I am your advisor, you know.
[18:28] Eve
    We can see better on the roof!
[18:31] Usami
    Yeah.
[18:33] Mira
    All done lining up Jupiter!
[18:36] Monroe
    You've gotten quite used
    to doing that, Mira-chan.
[18:40] Nana
    Can I?
[18:41] Mira
    Go ahead.
[18:43] Nana
    It's striped.
[18:45] Ao
    Yeah. Tonight, you can see four of its moons.
[18:49] Chika
    Nana-chan, I want to see, too.
[18:52] Nana
    Sure.
[18:53] Chika
    It's striped.
[18:57] Nana
    Mira-senpai, Ao-senpai.
[19:00] Nana
    U-Um, I'm sorry you couldn't
    discover an asteroid this time...
[19:06] Nana
    but please keep trying!
[19:10] Mira
    Yeah, we will!
[19:12] Ao
    Thank you.
[19:17] Ino
    Looks like Nana-chan's smiling
    more than she used to.
[19:21] Ao
    Now that you mention it...
[19:22] Mira
    That's great.
[19:24] Sakura
    It sounds like Chikage's taken an
    interest in astronomy lately, too.
[19:28] Mira
    She has?!
[19:30] Ao
    It was the same for us.
[19:32] Ao
    Being around Sakura-senpai and Ino-senpai
[19:35] ---
    made us grow interested in geology, as well.
[19:38] Mira
    You're right. So much has happened.
[21:25] Mira
    Everyone has their own things they
    love and their own special talents,
[21:28] ---
    their own unique world.
[21:31] Mira
    If you're all by yourself,
    you only have your own world,
[21:34] ---
    but when it connects to others,
[21:36] ---
    the possibilities spread
