Episode Summary
The StoryBots embark on an interstellar adventure to answer Asher's question about the origin of planets. Traveling through the solar system and beyond, they meet various celestial beings and learn about gravity, mass, and the cosmic forces at play. A professor explains how gravity pulls dust and gas together to form stars and planets. After witnessing a cloud of dust and gas collapse to form a new star, the remaining material eventually forms planets through a series of collisions. Returning with their newfound knowledge, the StoryBots explain to Asher that planets are born from the dust and gas drawn together by gravity, concluding their cosmic journey with a musical recap.
