During a tense face-off with a sinister (but extremely slow-moving) alien race, Dr. Michelle shows IR-1 how scientists can determine what extrasolar planets are made of, even when the planets are too far away to see.

  • great video, very informative, let me call that infotainment,what a catchy scene inside the spaceship with Dr.Michelle and cute robo, and what a nice and easy to understand script with the touch of humor, i want to ask one question, these videos are telecasting on any t,v channel in U.S.A or you guys are making them only for the internet? and by the way i asked for the sun yums to my nearest store but they said they dont have any sun yums to sale hahahhaa

  • Thank you!

    We produce these for the internet only, but occasionally a TV station (usually NASA TV) will pick one of our internet productions up and broadcast it. However, every time I'm aware of that that's happened, it's been one of our (relatively) serious educational productions, not the science fiction stuff.

  • How have I only found these after all this time? And it's had less hits than some random kid pile driving his friend onto a car bonnet?

    These vids are excellent and deserve more attention than they appear to be getting.

    I'm just a little disturbed by the product placement though, can you tell me where I can get some Sun Yums?

see all

  • Sun Yums go great with cheeeeeeese....

  • Slowlian: And don't bother pleading for mercy, the answer is NO.

    IR-1: But we didn't ask a question...

    Slowlian: Oh, well, when you do, the answer will be NO.

    IR-1: Can we NOT have all your planet's water?

    Slowlian: *Pause*

  • This is an excellent series!

    It's great for educating everyone, young or old, and it is a fine PR platform. Dr. Michelle is a good speaker and an attractive spokesperson, sure to influence positive role models contrary to common stereotypes.

    The explanation of spectroscopy was one of the best I've seen and is accessible even to neophytes.

    Keep up the great work!

    The audience will appear!

    Science rocks!

  • sun yums

  • the slowlian web is a huge web of galaxies that makes up the universe.
