[Female voice] Hello, are we recording now?
[Male voice] Oh okay alright, is it recording now?
Oh it is recording, I can see it spinning.
[Various voices over piano music] Hello, - hello - sup guys -
¿Hola cómo estás? Muy bien. ¿Y usted? Bien.
Hello everybody and welcome back to my show! - Hey! - Hellllo?? - Hello everbody.
[Female voice] It's June 11th, 2018. We are in the
Grand Canyon Star Party in the South Rim. What you can see in the sky is amazing.
[Female Voice] It's just starting to get dark and I'm sorry that you guys can't see this
because it's awesome. And it makes you feel so small and makes your problems go away and I
see all these stars! And it's awesome.
[Female Voice] It is an amazing night; you see thousands upon thousands of stars out here at
Grand Canyon. You can see the Milky Way as if it was day
like clouds floating through the sky both bright and black.
[Female Voice] There's so many stars and it's just so gorgeous.
[Two children] This is Kiren and Michelle. We see Jupiter and it's four moons.
...and it's so pretty and cool. Bye!
[Female Voice] As I look up at the night sky it shimmers with stars.
[Male voice] See , like for me, when I look at the stars
I see people that, that I know.
[Female voice] I just wanted to say that seeing this is
absolutely awe-inspiring; there's just so many stars and it's just so gorgeous.
I feel like this is something everyone should see. It's just so cool and it just
makes you feel so tiny but also like just so privileged to see this.
[Piano music continues to play]
[Young boy] We can see a beautiful beautiful star out there in the sky in night, a lot of stars
- really beautiful.
I just saw some kind of fireball coming down it was really far [female interjects] -shooting star.
[Young boy] No, we call them fireball.
[Female interjects] No we call them shooting stars. [Argumentative boy] They call them fireballs! - No, they are call shooting stars!
[Young boy] Whatever!
[Kids Laughing] Holy shooting stars!
[Male voice} I mean all I'm gonna say is that my friends are idiots, but uh, these stars are dope.
[Male voice] The stars right now are incredible.
[Male voice] Don't be *&%$#, cuz the stars are dope.
[Female voice] It's beautiful out here because the night sky is being preserved at the Grand Canyon.
[Distant echoes]
[Child] I see Mars, Jupiter, and I see Uranus.
[Female voice] Tonight we can see Venus, Jupiter, the Summer Triangle;
all the stars out here are really bright.
There are so many stars to see and all the astronomers are doing a really good job
explaining to people who haven't seen these stars before exactly where they
are and how they come up and the patterns that they have.
[Female voice] We totally need sanctuary areas
designated sanctuary night sky areas.
[Male voice] Uh, you won't be able to see any stars
sorry about that. I like lights.
Uh, I'm probably gonna pollute the world and destroy it all, so you know, sorry. Uh, yeah.
[Male voice] That's just his opinion believe what you want please.
[Female voice] My message to the future is to
stop global light pollution.
[Male voice] It's like we don't see no stars no more.
[Male whispers] There are no stars in the sky
and most people frankly don't care they all have iPhones.
[Male voice] It's amazing, we just saw Jupiter with the rings and the four moons.
So, I hope you fix your issue with the lights so you can be back to where we are.
See you, in the near future. Bye bye.
[Female voice] Put a stop to it. Maybe we can bring the stars back.
[Female voice] We do not want to lose that connection
with the stars and with this universe.
Let us all protect it.
[Female voice] I saw Saturn for the first time in my life...
...my life is complete.
[Music ends]
[Various voices] K, bye. - Goodnight. - Bye. - Bye.
[Female voice] Okay we're done, how do we stop it?
[Female voice] You broke it.
