**Announcer:** From the brains behind Brains On!, it's Smash Boom Best!

**Lillian:** The show for people with big opinions!

**Molly:** I'm Molly Bloom and this is the show where we take two things, smash them together, and let you decide which is best. Today, we've got an epic intergalactic battle between two legendary orbs in our sky. |||||intergaláctica|||||esferas||| Hoje, temos uma batalha intergaláctica épica entre dois orbes lendários em nosso céu. They are as different as day and night, and you've certainly seen them both. It's sun versus moon. Which celebrated celestial body will snag the title of Smash Boom Best? ||cuerpo celeste|||ganará|||||| Lillian is here to help us decide. Hi, Lillian.

**Lillian:** Hi.

**Molly:** So Lillian, when I say sun, what comes to mind?

**Lillian:** I just think of that big yellow circle in the sky. [laughs]

**Molly:** Ever-present day after day. And what is your favorite thing about the sun?

**Lillian:** I think that it keeps me warm. Like sometimes I like to go outside and just stay under the sun for warmth. ||||||||||||||calor

**Molly:** Oh, a little basking in the sun, I like it. ||||tomando el sol|||||| What do you think about when I say the word moon?

**Lillian:** I think about tides and stuff, and especially a bunch of astrology, Zodiac signs, and all because I know that people use the moon to predict how they're going to feel or something like that. |||||||||||||星座|||||||||||||||||||||| ||||mareas||||||un montón|||zodiacal|||||||||||||predecir||||||||| Lillian: Eu penso sobre marés e outras coisas, e especialmente um monte de astrologia, signos do zodíaco, e tudo porque eu sei que as pessoas usam a lua para prever como vão se sentir ou algo assim.

**Molly:** Got you. Molly: Peguei você. What is your favorite thing about the moon?

**Lillian:** I really like when the moon is bright at night, when the moonlight just shines through your window at night, that's just the most beautiful thing ever. Lillian: Eu realmente gosto quando a lua está brilhante à noite, quando o luar apenas brilha através de sua janela à noite, isso é simplesmente a coisa mais linda de todas.

**Molly:** Oh, I see you have a poetic heart. |||||||poético| Lillian, what is your involvement with debate? ||||participación||

**Lillian:** Currently, I'm a junior and I've been in debate since I was a freshman, so it's been about three years that I've been in debate. ||||||||||||||de primer año||||||||||| Lillian: Atualmente, sou júnior e participo de debates desde que era caloura, então já faz cerca de três anos que estou em debates.

**Molly:** You are a debate expert. What advice do you have for our debaters today?

**Lillian:** I would say just have fun. That's one of the things I love most about debate, it's a fun activity.

**Molly:** A very positive approach to debate. Molly: Uma abordagem muito positiva para o debate. All right, time to meet today's debaters. Here to rep mighty, magnetic, oh so mysterious Team Moon, it's Katie McVay. ||representa|poderosa|magnética|||||||| Aqui para representar o poderoso, magnético, oh tão misterioso Team Moon, é Katie McVay. Hi, Katie.

**Katie:** Hi.

**Molly:** Katie, in a single sentence, why is the moon clearly the coolest? Molly: Katie, em uma única frase, por que a lua é claramente a mais legal?

**Katie:** Let's put it this way, if the moon were a person, they would give you a ride to the airport. |||||||||||||||||un aventón|||

**Molly:** Very nice.

**Katie:** That's the kind of person they would be.

(chuckles)

**Molly:** Old, reliable moon. |vieja|fiable| Here to argue for the literal star of our solar system, it's Jed Kim for Team Sun. |||||literal|||||||Jed Kim|||| Hi, Jed.

**Jed:** Hey, how's it going?

**Molly:** In one sentence, Jed, why is the sun superior?

**Jed:** The sun makes so many things possible from life to technology to those t-shirts that change colors and are really cool. Jed: O sol torna tantas coisas possíveis, desde a vida até a tecnologia e aquelas camisetas que mudam de cor e são muito legais.

**Molly:** Excellent illuminating points from both sides already. ||明確な||||| ||iluminadores||||| Now, before we start let's recap the rounds. |||||resumamos|| Round one is the Declaration of Greatness using facts, logic, and top-notch storytelling, our debaters will present the most persuasive arguments for their side. A primeira rodada é a Declaração de Grandeza usando fatos, lógica e narrativa de alto nível, nossos debatedores apresentarão os argumentos mais persuasivos para o seu lado.

They'll also each have 30 seconds to rebut their opponent's declaration. Round two is the Micro Round, a creative challenge each side has prepared for in advance. Round three is the Sneak Attack, a surprise challenge each debater will have to respond to on the spot. A terceira rodada é o Sneak Attack, um desafio surpresa ao qual cada debatedor terá que responder na hora. Lastly, the final six. por último||| In this round, each team will have just six words to make their case. Okay, debaters, are you ready?

**Katie:** Absolutely.

**Jed:** Super ready.

**Molly:** Awesome, that means it's time for the--

**Announcer:** Declaration of Greatness.

**Molly:** Lillian, you will be awarding two points in this round, one for the best declaration and one for the best rebuttal, but don't tell us who you've given your points to until the very end of the debate. |||||otorgando||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| We've flipped a coin and Katie, you are up first. |lanzado|||||||| Light up our minds with the magnificence of Team Moon.

**Katie:**

Let me set the scene. ||||la escena Space. 4.5 billion years ago. The earth is young.

Well, maybe not __that__ young, but young. That Earth is different from the earth we know today. It's molten, volcanic. |fundido| É fundido, vulcânico. And it's got different neighbors—not Mercury and Mars, but rather, Theia, a planetary body around the same size as young proto-Earth. ||||||Mercurio|||||Theia||||||||||proto-Tierra| E tem vizinhos diferentes - não Mercúrio e Marte, mas Theia, um corpo planetário do mesmo tamanho da jovem proto-Terra.

Everything is going fine for Theia and proto-Earth——until one day, Theia drifts a little too close to proto-Earth and… THWACK! |||||Theia||||||||se desplaza|||||||||golpe Tudo está indo bem para Theia e proto-Terra - até que um dia, Theia se aproxima um pouco demais da proto-Terra e ... THWACK!

The two bodies collide, creating enough debris to create Earth's best friend and sibling, the moon. |||colisionan|||escombros|||||||hermano|| Os dois corpos colidem, criando detritos suficientes para criar o melhor amigo e irmão da Terra, a lua.

**Moon:** Oh, hi!

**Earth:** Oh… hello. I'm so glad you're here! I'm Earth.

**Moon:** I'm the moon.

**Earth:** Oh my gosh. I love your style.

**Moon:** Right back at you.

**Earth:** I think we're going to be best friends.

And that's what I'm going to talk about—the best planetary body out there: the moon. The moon rules because it is earth's __best__ friend. (Sorry, sun! But you know it's true!)

Moon and Earth aren't exactly the same. They're different, but that's what makes their relationship stronger. And of course, the moon and earth would always tell one another that they have great hair—if either of them had hair, I mean.

Because the moon is made up of a little of Theia and a little of proto-Earth, the moon has a slightly different makeup than Earth. |||||||||||||||||||||ligeramente||composición|| The moon is denser, with a different type of atmosphere. |||más densa||||||

Atmosphere is the layer of gases that surrounds a planetary body. A atmosfera é a camada de gases que envolve um corpo planetário. The moon's atmosphere—unlike Earth's—doesn't have oxygen and is much thinner than ours. |de la luna||a diferencia de||||||||más delgada||la nuestra A atmosfera da lua – ao contrário da da Terra – não tem oxigênio e é muito mais fina que a nossa.

And there's less gravity on the moon! Which makes it like a super awesome bounce house that you don't have to take your shoes off for. |||||||castillo inflable||||||||||| O que o torna uma casa de salto super incrível para a qual você não precisa tirar os sapatos.

In 1969, with the landing of Apollo 11, humans got to meet the moon face to face for the very first time! |||alunizaje||||||||||||||||

Not only did Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong have a blast bouncing and making history, they collected rocks and other soil samples… which have become the basis for a lot of concrete information we know about the moon's make-up and origins. |||Buzz|Aldrin|||Armstrong|||diversión|rebotando|||||||||suelo lunar|||||||||||||||||||||orígenes Buzz Aldrin e Neil Armstrong não apenas se divertiram muito fazendo história, como também coletaram rochas e outras amostras de solo... que se tornaram a base para muitas informações concretas que sabemos sobre a composição e as origens da lua.

And like any good best friend: the moon is always down to hang. ||||||||||||pasar el rato E como qualquer bom melhor amigo: a lua está sempre pendurada. In fact, one day—you might be able to visit the moon, too!

There's already tons of cool stuff up there to look at, and I don't just mean the moon's thousands of craters. ||||||||||||||||||||cráteres Did you know there's an art museum on the moon?

That's right, I said art museum. In 1969, NASA launched the Intrepid into space. ||||Intrepid|| Em 1969, a NASA lançou o Intrepid no espaço. And six __intrepid__—forgive me, terrible joke—artists had the idea to get their art where it had never gone before: space. ||intrépidos|perdónenme|||||||||||||||||| Sculptor Forrest Myers created a small ceramic tile he called “the Moon Museum” and attached it to one of the Intrepid's legs. escultor|Forrest Myers|Myers||||cerámica|baldosa|||||||adjuntó||||||Intrepid|piernas He and five other artists covered it in small drawings and—boom!—art museum on the moon. |||||||||dibujos|||||||

Try that on the sun. You can't! The sun is important but you'll never be able to visit. You'd turn into immediate barbecue. ||||barbacoa inmediata

The moon, on the other hand, could be a place where you could one day maybe __throw__a barbecue. Cool moon vibes versus burnt to a crisp on the sun. ||vibraciones||quemados|||crujiente||| Not hard to pick a favorite.

And not only is the moon a cool place to visit, but like any good best friend: it is a positive influence. The moon wouldn't let you start a podcast just because everyone else is doing it! The moon is the type of best friend that your mom LOVES.

Unlike other planets, which may have a lot of tiny moons, our moon is big. a diferencia de|||||||||pequeñas|lunas|||| And, as a result, it creates a lot of stability for us here on earth. |||||||||estabilidad||||| E, como resultado, cria muita estabilidade para nós aqui na terra. The moon helps Earth to be less wobbly on its axis. |||||||inestable|||eje terrestre This lack of wobble means that Earth has a more stable climate than it otherwise would have. |falta||oscilación|||||||||||de lo contrario|| Essa falta de oscilação significa que a Terra tem um clima mais estável do que teria de outra forma.

**Earth:** I was thinking of starting an ice age. What do you think?

**Moon:** Absolutely not.

**Earth:** OK. Fiiiiine. está bien

Thanks, moon!

This is just one way the moon has a positive influence on Earth. It isn't just weather. The moon controls the oceans, too! ||||los océanos|

The moon, as Earth's natural satellite, orbits—or very slowly travels around—the Earth. ||||||orbita|||||||

The moon and the Earth both have gravitational pull. |||||||gravitacional|atracción gravitacional Each day the Earth rotates. ||||rota This is what creates day and night.

And as the Earth rotates, it presents a different face to the moon. While this happens, the moon's gravity pulls on the Earth. ||||||tira||| And what does that do? It causes the tides. |||las mareas

Not bad for a celestial body a third of the size of Earth!

Yes, the sun is important. But the moon is special to Earth. Earth helped create the moon, is influenced by the moon, and, in the future, might be a place you can actually visit! Other planetary bodies, including the sun, will never have the kind of bff relationship that the Earth and moon do. What else can I say? The moon is Earth's best friend!

**Earth:** BFFs? |mejores amigas

**Moon:** You know it!

**Molly:** I would call that a tremoondous declaration. ||||||tremenda| Lillian, which facts shone the brightest for you there? |||brillaron||más brillantes||| What stood out to you?

**Lillian:** I think definitely how they explained how there was an art museum on the moon. I thought that was one of the most fascinating things. I was like, "What?" I had no idea that that happened or existed.

**Molly:** Yeah, that blew my mind too. |||me sorprendió||| It's super cool. Well, Jed, it is time for your rebuttal, you have 30 seconds to respond and your time starts now.

**Jed:** Yes, the moon and the earth have been around for a long time, but the sun has been there for so much longer, just smiling on the solar system, making things warm. Jed: Sim, a lua e a terra existem há muito tempo, mas o sol está lá há muito mais tempo, apenas sorrindo para o sistema solar, aquecendo as coisas. The moon has no oxygen, it has the weakest atmosphere. ||||||||más débil| A lua não tem oxigênio, tem a atmosfera mais fraca. Sure you could visit the moon, but what are you going to do? ||||||pero|||||| You're going to be stuck in a suit the whole time. That art museum, let me just talk about that art museum, it's a disk, it's the worst art museum in the universe. |||||||||||||disco|||peor||museo||| As for visiting the sun, we just have to satellite to the sun. Quanto a visitar o sol, basta satélitear o sol.

**Molly:** And time! Nice work Jed. Now it's the sun's turn to rise and shine. |||del sol||||| Give us your declaration of greatness for Team Sun. Danos tu declaración de grandeza para el Equipo Sol.

**Jed:** It's easy to understand how much better the sun is than the moon. Jed: Es fácil entender cuán mejor es el sol que la luna. Just imagine life without either of them. Solo imagina la vida sin ninguno de ellos. Get rid of the moon, and things would definitely be different. |deshacerse||||||verbo auxiliar|||

**Man 1:** Hey honey, did you notice, the moon's gone?

**Man 2:** What? Really? Huh! You know, I thought something was different. |||pensé|||

**Man 1:** I just thought it was another new moon, but no, it's gone.

**Man 2:** That's a shame. |||qué pena Homem 2: Isso é uma pena. I'm really gonna miss seeing it. It was so pretty.

**Man 1:** Yeah. Oh well.

**Man 2:** Oh well...

**Jed:** Oh well. Now, take those same people. Lose the sun, and ...

**Man 2:** Why's it so dark? |por qué||| !

**Man 1:** The sun! It's gone! !

**Man 2:** (high pitched scream) ||agudo|

**Man 1:** IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD!!! GAME OVER, MAN!! !

**Man 2:** (sobbing and raving) |sollozando||hablando incoherentemente

**Jed:** Yeah, this isn't an exaggeration. |||||exageración We know from history that there have been many instances of people freaking out during solar eclipses. |||||||||instancias|||asustándose mucho||||eclipses solares Ancient Greeks thought the gods were angry, some ancient Chinese people thought a dragon was trying to eat the sun. ||pensaban||||||||||||||||| Legend has it that one ancient emperor was so scared by an eclipse that he got sick and died shortly after. ||||||||||||eclipse||||enfermo|||poco después|

The prospect of losing the sun is terrifying. |perspectiva|||||| And no wonder. E não é de admirar. It gives us light, warmth, it makes plants grow. |da|||calor|||| Without it, all life on Earth would end, leaving behind a frozen ball of ice, hurtling randomly through the universe. ||||||||dejando|||||||que se desplaza||||

Oh man, I let things get dark there. Sorry. I shouldn't use fear as a motivator. |||miedo|||motivador Ok, from here on out, I'm just going to talk about really cool things about the sun.
