Ollie and the Vanishing Moon | Fairy Tale | Lunar Eclipse
When a lunar eclipse plunges ancient Alexandria into fear, only a small dog with a magic ear can hear the moon's own heartbeat and help save the night. Deep in the ancient harbour of Alexandria, a full silver moon begins to vanish before a terrified crowd. Only Hypatia, a brilliant young astronomer, believes there is nothing to fear, until her precious astrolabe is knocked from her hands and sent skidding toward the sea. Enter Ollie: a small, fluffy black dog with one ear up and one ear down, who travels through history in his magical doghouse. Guided by a mysterious hum only he can hear, Ollie races through the panicked harbor to save the day. Inspired by the real life of Hypatia of Alexandria, one of history's earliest great astronomers, this episode blends real history with heart-pounding magic, and gently teaches little listeners that the things that scare us most are usually just waiting to be understood. One small pup. One giant leap through history.
