As Celeste is fighting off sleep while reading a book on astronomy, she receives an unexpected visit from Moon. Together, they enjoy a journey through the Universe to discover what exoplanets are and how they can be detected. On their trip they observe rogue planets, oceanic worlds, and super-earths. Moon tells her about exoplanet hunters, who observe the sky in search of earthlike worlds. Many adventures are yet to come. But first, she needs some rest. Celeste drops off to sleep waiting for the next visit of Moon.
A live sky tour follows the program, featuring constellations, planets, the moon, and other items of interest currently visible in the sky, with tips for finding your way around in the heavens on the next clear night, and stories about the stars.
