Madhu is sad to learn that the spectacular giant red star they were going to visit is now a small white dwarf star that will give off its energy until it goes dark.  Ella and Slippy try to cheer Madhu up by going sliding, playing mini putt and having a dance party, but nothing works. Ella realizes that sometimes when something sad happens, you need to think about it to understand it and feel sad for a while.  The best thing a friend can do is be understanding and supportive.

The year is 3021. The place is the Milky Way, where eight-year-old Ella gleefully heads out with her friends on exciting adventures of discovery. At only eight, she already knows quite a bit about space... but there is always more to explore!
