1 00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,499 Soyuzmultfilm 2 00:00:02,599 --> 00:00:04,400 (writers: A. Ankor, Vasiliy Livanov) 3 00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,960 <i>In the sky,</i> (director: Vladimir Tarasov) 4 00:00:06,179 --> 00:00:08,559 <i>Like an intimate call...</i> (art-director: N. Koshkin) 5 00:00:08,660 --> 00:00:12,740 <i>Twinkle the stars' golden eyelashes...</i> (composer: Boris Shnaper) (cosmonaut-consultant: A. Leonov) 6 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:17,640 Mirror 7 00:00:17,679 --> 00:00:20,679 Mirror to 8 00:00:20,739 --> 00:00:23,739 Mirror to the 9 00:00:23,780 --> 00:00:27,780 Mirror to the Past 10 00:00:56,020 --> 00:00:59,840 Oh, look what a bright star! 11 00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,480 Hm, it's very close... 12 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Do not be afraid. That bright star only seems to be near, 13 00:01:07,439 --> 00:01:13,200 but in fact its light took thousands of years to reach us, 14 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,599 so you and I see only the past image of this star. 15 00:01:16,599 --> 00:01:22,640 The light of all the stars that you see are just images of the distant past. 16 00:01:23,260 --> 00:01:25,800 Is it really possible to see the past? 17 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,560 People have always dreamed of it. 18 00:01:28,780 --> 00:01:31,980 For example, through the imagination of writer Mark Twain, 19 00:01:31,980 --> 00:01:36,980 the 19th century met up with the 10th.... 20 00:02:37,819 --> 00:02:42,219 I recognize that! It's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court"! 21 00:02:42,259 --> 00:02:43,739 Right! 22 00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:48,719 Yet, Mark Twain was not interested in <i>how</i> the Yankee got to the past. 23 00:02:48,780 --> 00:02:51,539 But the hero of the writer H.G. Wells... 24 00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:56,639 was already constructing a time machine. Remember? 25 00:03:46,460 --> 00:03:50,659 Hmm, pretty cool! But it's all just fiction. 26 00:03:50,740 --> 00:03:52,379 Of course it's fiction. 27 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:57,000 Science-fiction writers of all eras have sent people to the past or the future. 28 00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:02,680 But once, the residents of a small town in Central Europe 29 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,140 witnessed a fantastic event. 30 00:04:11,259 --> 00:04:14,899 High in the sky, among swirling clouds 31 00:04:14,900 --> 00:04:21,439 there appeared an amazing image of some sort of big battle. 32 00:04:25,379 --> 00:04:30,800 For a long time, the church treated the whole affair as a divine sign - 33 00:04:31,139 --> 00:04:32,800 a miracle. 34 00:04:33,139 --> 00:04:40,319 But it wasn't a miracle. It was a rare atmospheric phenomenon, a kind of mirage. 35 00:04:45,379 --> 00:04:49,100 Much later, researchers who studied the surviving historical documents 36 00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:54,220 came to the conclusion that it had been the famous Battle of Waterloo. 37 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,319 It happened like this: 38 00:04:58,319 --> 00:05:01,879 The currents of cold and warm air had stratified 39 00:05:02,356 --> 00:05:05,685 and formed in the atmosphere a giant tunnel of light 40 00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:09,019 with a huge air-mirror 41 00:05:09,019 --> 00:05:14,759 through which the battle was seen by the residents of a town far away from it. 42 00:05:15,259 --> 00:05:21,139 Yet light waves carried the image of the battle even further - into space. 43 00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:27,339 So everything gets carried into space with light? Everything in the world? 44 00:05:27,639 --> 00:05:29,339 That's right. 45 00:05:29,620 --> 00:05:31,899 - You and I, too? - You and I, too! 46 00:05:31,899 --> 00:05:35,279 Our images are always flying through the universe. 47 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:40,559 But if an image has flown off into space, then I guess it can't be seen again? 48 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,980 Why not? 49 00:05:41,980 --> 00:05:46,300 To do this, one would have to put in the light's path... 50 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,620 Ah! A mirror! 51 00:05:48,620 --> 00:05:49,780 Right! 52 00:05:49,779 --> 00:05:55,379 At the point being approached by the image, we'd have to place a mirror 53 00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:59,139 and it will reflect the image back to us. 54 00:06:00,339 --> 00:06:03,539 The universe itself will not make us such a mirror. 55 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,720 But people have managed to build a space telescope 56 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,220 with which one can, even down to the small details, 57 00:06:10,339 --> 00:06:15,839 see the events taking place on planets around distant stars. 58 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:22,219 Right now our ship is approaching to dock onto this giant telescope, 59 00:06:22,939 --> 00:06:27,879 and you and I will see these distant worlds. 60 00:06:58,740 --> 00:07:03,439 I'll show you a planet very similar to our ancient Earth. 61 00:07:09,339 --> 00:07:11,339 Why does it have these colors? 62 00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,719 The composition of its atmosphere is completely different, 63 00:07:14,118 --> 00:07:16,433 resulting in a different light spectrum. 64 00:07:50,379 --> 00:07:52,239 That which we have just seen 65 00:07:52,332 --> 00:07:55,561 happened on this planet hundreds of thousands of years ago. 66 00:07:57,139 --> 00:08:02,939 Today it may have the same advanced civilization as we have on Earth. 67 00:08:56,700 --> 00:09:03,640 How I would like to see the distant past of our beautiful Earth... 68 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:07,140 For that, you'd need to go far, far away in the universe, 69 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:13,360 and build a mirror that could reflect back to us the images of distant times 70 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:18,720 that fly through interstellar space at the speed of light. 71 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,320 I'll grow up and build that mirror! 72 00:09:22,799 --> 00:09:27,319 Then we will see our past, right? - Right! 73 00:09:27,420 --> 00:09:29,519 animators: Vladimir Zarubin, Yuriy Kuzyurin, Aleksandr Mazayev, Tatyana Fadeyeva, Aleksandr Bukin, Valeriy Ugarov, A.
