Ahoy, hello, welcome along. It's a brand new episode of the greatest podcast in the universe. This is the Fun Kids Science Weekly. My name's Dan, thank you for listening. It's the place where we search out all the science secrets lurking all around the universe. No matter where it is, no matter how far away it is, no matter how dark

the place it might be lurking, we will seek it out. This week, we'll look at one of the weirdest

elements that's ever been found, and it's only just been found. Also, we'll solve the mystery
