Inspired by the Voyager missions, CBeebies Stargazing: Space Explorers takes pre-schoolers on a journey of discovery through the Solar System. Before embarking on the voyage, Maggie tells the story of two small spacecrafts Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 and introduces everyone to Space Sailor, the canal boat that will take her and Chris to visit the giant planets.

Speaking from Mission Control, Robert the Robot instructs Chris, Maggie and the Stargazers to set a course for the Asteroid Belt. Soon Robert receives an incoming message from Astronomer Edward, who uploads some telescope footage of the Moon for Stargazers everywhere to take a close up look at Earth’s nearest neighbour.

Back on Space Sailor, Chris discovers it’s going to take a while longer to get to the Asteroid Belt, and Maggie explains how it’s much further away than the Moon. More Stargazers send an update back to Mission Control and thanks to some peppercorns and potatoes we discover that the Asteroid Belt is made up of lots of rocks orbiting the Sun. Reaching their destination, Chris, Maggie and the Stargazers explore an apple-y Asteroid Belt and discover there is lots of space in space.

After Robert backs up all the mission data, Maggie challenges Stargazers at home to look up at the night sky and try and spot the Moon. Show less
