1
Hey Mercury, today is such a hot day.
2
Urgh, yeah.
3
The sun is really hot today.
4
Hahaha, you're really funny today Mercury.
5
Give me one of those peppers too.
6
Don't eat it, son!
7
Oh god, I totally forgot!
8
Run!
9
Sorry guys, but...
10
RUN!
11
Hey Earth, please protect us!
12
Oh my god, storm!
13
Quick, hide behind me!
14
Ah, thank god.
15
Earth, you're really lucky to have a magnetic field.
16
Yeah, it's one of my main protectors against solar storms.
17
Wow, Earth, what are these?
18
They're called auroras, and they're created when solar storms collide with my magnetic field.
19
But what if this magnetic field didn't exist?
20
It would become like me.
21
Like you?
22
Why?
23
What happened?
24
I used to have a magnetic field just like Earth once.
25
Wow, Mars!
26
Your magnetic field is really strong!
27
Yeah, but I feel like my magnetic field is getting weaker lately. Be careful!
28
A storm is coming!
29
I've got your back!
30
Oh no!
31
My field is gone!
32
And this is how I lost my atmosphere and became a dead planet!
33
Yeah, this is how I protect my life from solar storms.
34
But Earth, you said this is your main protection.
35
What are your other protections?
36
Haha, hello!
37
I'm Earth's next protector!
38
Wow, what kind of protector are you?
39
Oh my god, an asteroid is heading straight toward Earth!
40
Don't worry, as long as I'm here! here.
41
With my huge gravity, I trap asteroids that are heading toward Earth.
42
Wow.
43
If that's true, when was the last time you saved me?
44
It was back in 1994 when...
45
Hey Jupiter, an asteroid is heading straight toward Earth!
46
Oh my god!
47
Let me see!
48
Oh!
49
That's Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9!
50
And if it hit Earth,
51
it could cause destruction equal to tens of millions of Hiroshima bombs and wipe out life completely!
52
Then do something!
53
Ha ha ha!
54
Don't worry!
55
I'll use my gravity to pull it toward myself and sacrifice myself for Earth!
56
Wow, Jupiter!
57
You're really a selfless protector!
58
Thanks for being here!
59
But Earth, you said you have other protectors too, right?
60
Oh, right!
61
We should ask the Moon too, huh?
62
Where's Moon?
63
Hey Moon!
64
Moon!
65
Where are you?
66
I think he went to play with Mars and the other moons!
67
Okay, let's go!
68
Earth, I really wish I had protectors like you too.
69
Maybe you can!
70
Oh hey guys, what do you need today?
71
Hey Mercury, I'm telling you quietly.
72
The stuff this guy sells is illegal!
73
It's fine, let me see what he has.
74
Hey sir, I want to protect her!
75
Hmm, let me see...
76
Ah, got it!
77
Here, this shield is perfect for you!
78
Thanks, bye!
79
Hey Moon, you came back to play with your friends again?
80
Uh, yeah?
81
What happened?
82
Hey guys, be careful!
83
Get behind me!
84
Oh no!
85
Why did it break?
86
I told you not to buy it!
87
It's useless, but you didn't listen!
88
Oh guys, another asteroid is coming from this side too!
89
Don't worry, I got this!
90
Wow!
91
So your next protector is the moon?
92
Yep!
93
By putting herself in the path of asteroids!
94
She sacrifices herself so I don't get hurt!
95
And all these craters are the result of those impacts too!
96
Wow!
97
That's amazing!
98
I'm seriously jealous of you.
99
I wish I had a moon too.
100
But what about the small asteroids that the moon can't stop?
101
Hahaha!
102
I've got another protector for that too!
103
Oh, Earth!
104
This one got passed!
105
It's okay, I got this!
106
With my atmosphere, I can protect myself!
107
When small asteroids enter my atmosphere, the friction burns them up completely!
108
Wow, that was incredible!
109
Hey Earth, a giant asteroid is heading straight toward you!
110
Even I couldn't stop it!
111
Don't worry, I even have a plan for this!
112
Wow, what even is that?
113
These are NASA's DART Project rockets that protect me from giant asteroids.
114
If possible, the rockets completely destroy the asteroid.
115
Or if the asteroid is too massive, the rockets change its trajectory completely.
116
Wow, so you're basically fully protected against asteroids.
117
Yep, in most cases I can protect myself.
118
Oh my god, what was that sound?
119
I can't see anything.
120
We should go ask Jupiter.
121
Let's go Hey seller, did you hear that sound too?
122
Yeah, but I don't know where it came from.
123
Go ask Jupiter.
124
Hey Jupiter, hello!
125
Hey boys, what happened again?
126
Did you hear that sound and shaking too?
127
Ah yeah.
128
What happened?
129
Did it scare you?
130
Yeah, a lot!
131
What even was that sound?
132
That was the sound of two neutron stars colliding!
133
And when they collide, they release around 10 to the power of 47 joules of energy.
134
Oh my god!
135
That's an insane amount!
136
And even worse, they produce gamma rays that could vaporize you in a single second if they hit you hit you.
137
Oh my god!
138
Then who protects us from these deadly cosmic rays?
139
Don't worry.
140
Come with me and I'll show you.
141
Wait, why did you bring us to the sun?
142
What is he doing?
143
Relax for a second and let me explain.
144
Hey sun!
145
Oh, hey kids!
146
What brings you here?
147
Earth is really worried about deadly cosmic rays and wants to know who protects us from them.
148
Ha ha ha, now I understand.
149
I have a massive magnetic field called the Heliosphere.
150
And it protects all of us from dangerous cosmic rays.
151
And this Heliosphere extends across the entire solar system.
152
Wow, so you're basically the protector of all of us then?
153
Yes, exactly!
154
Hey guys, who do you think is our coolest protector?
155
Make sure to tell us in the comments!

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
