1
00:00:09,530 --> 00:00:05,920
they look like ghouls ghosts and

2
00:00:13,549 --> 00:00:09,540
long-legged piece the universe is full

3
00:00:16,369 --> 00:00:13,559
of things that go bump in the night NASA

4
00:00:18,950 --> 00:00:16,379
spacecraft have encountered all sorts of

5
00:00:22,970 --> 00:00:18,960
creepy sounds and sights traveling

6
00:00:25,790 --> 00:00:22,980
through the cosmos you can't see them

7
00:00:31,310 --> 00:00:25,800
but something's out there we gonna call

8
00:00:33,220 --> 00:00:31,320
the Galactic Ghostbuster that's what you

9
00:00:36,950 --> 00:00:33,230
might call NASA Spitzer Space Telescope

10
00:00:41,020 --> 00:00:36,960
it uses heat-seeking infrared vision to

11
00:00:43,459 --> 00:00:41,030
flush out all kinds of cosmic critters

12
00:00:45,889 --> 00:00:43,469
I'm way to think about Spitzer's it's a

13
00:00:47,990 --> 00:00:45,899
galactic Ghostbuster what it's able to

14
00:00:49,580 --> 00:00:48,000
do is it's able to peer back all the

15
00:00:53,779 --> 00:00:49,590
curtains of darkness in our own galaxy

16
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,789
and reveal the hidden massive stars and

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:55,680
other beasts and monsters that are

18
00:00:59,840 --> 00:00:57,210
lurking in the plane of our own galaxy

19
00:01:01,279 --> 00:00:59,850
the way we see you know invisible white

20
00:01:03,590 --> 00:01:01,289
what you're seeing is visible light

21
00:01:04,789 --> 00:01:03,600
reflected off my skin off my shirt which

22
00:01:06,890 --> 00:01:04,799
is how you get the colors you know I

23
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:06,900
seen wearing a nice blue shirt in the

24
00:01:09,950 --> 00:01:08,670
infrared light what you're seeing is the

25
00:01:12,230 --> 00:01:09,960
thermal emission so you're seeing the

26
00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:12,240
heat radiation for me actually so I'm

27
00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:13,920
glowing in the infrared where I'm not

28
00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:16,710
glowing in the visible at the Spitzer

29
00:01:21,469 --> 00:01:19,020
Science Center he has earned a spooky

30
00:01:24,320 --> 00:01:21,479
nickname after he spotted the image of a

31
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:24,330
screaming ghoul lurking behind blankets

32
00:01:28,990 --> 00:01:26,490
of cosmic dust thirty-nine hundred

33
00:01:32,539 --> 00:01:29,000
light-years away in the constellation

34
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:32,549
Cygnus my first name shantz my first

35
00:01:36,890 --> 00:01:35,310
initials asked my last name scary people

36
00:01:38,330 --> 00:01:36,900
the Science Center very bright so they

37
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:38,340
can put two and two together so they go

38
00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:41,130
s Kerry ah you must be scary he recently

39
00:01:47,510 --> 00:01:44,310
spotted a slithering dark shadow in the

40
00:01:50,679 --> 00:01:47,520
sky what we found was a snake on the

41
00:01:54,740 --> 00:01:50,689
Galactic plane in the belly of the beast

42
00:01:57,740 --> 00:01:54,750
Kerry found something eerie those yellow

43
00:02:00,050 --> 00:01:57,750
and orange spots those aren't digested

44
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:00,060
rodents from a recent meal they're the

45
00:02:05,539 --> 00:02:03,450
beginnings of gargantuan stars the

46
00:02:08,570 --> 00:02:05,549
bright red spot in its tummy is a

47
00:02:10,820 --> 00:02:08,580
monstrous star embryo straight out of a

48
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:10,830
sci-fi film you're going to think of it

49
00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,120
as something rolling

50
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:13,920
inside of it it's more like an alien

51
00:02:17,990 --> 00:02:16,290
from one of those from one of those

52
00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,000
horror movies that's going to burst out

53
00:02:22,399 --> 00:02:21,120
and totally totally destroy it so it's

54
00:02:24,619 --> 00:02:22,409
going to be large starts gonna be

55
00:02:27,350 --> 00:02:24,629
something between 20 and 50 times the

56
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:27,360
mass of our own son these observations

57
00:02:33,589 --> 00:02:30,209
help scientists understand how monster

58
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:33,599
stars form in outer space I think the

59
00:02:37,850 --> 00:02:36,090
galaxy is a pretty scary place if you

60
00:02:39,140 --> 00:02:37,860
think abouts also a very exciting place

61
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:39,150
to astronomers who's going to learn

62
00:02:42,860 --> 00:02:41,190
about stars but you think about all the

63
00:02:44,839 --> 00:02:42,870
stuff that's going on out there you have

64
00:02:46,729 --> 00:02:44,849
these star it's a very violent kind of

65
00:02:48,770 --> 00:02:46,739
place and there's all sorts of surprises
