<p>Hungarian-born astrophysicist Gaspar Bakos has helped discover more than 140 planets outside our solar system. He now lives with his family in Princeton, New Jersey, next to a tiny patch of forest and a small lake. When a global pandemic locks down his community, he buys a $40 motion-sensor camera to occupy himself and his three energetic boys. With creativity and persistence, they move the camera around the forest and soon discover a delightful secret world.</p>
