Summary

It's time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!

This episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly we continue our bigger and better podcast where we put YOUR questions to our team of experts, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about Neanderthals and why they're so important!

Dan starts with the latest science news, where we learn about the return of the Northern Lights to the UK with the newest sun storms, a 'Blue Fireball' lighting up the Spanish sky and Dr Emma Pomeroy Howarth from the University of Cambridge tells us all about the discovery of a 75,000 year old Neanderthals' face.

Then we delve into your questions where Dan answers Etienne's question all about antimatter and bananas and we pose Owen's question on how our brain's work to Professor Laura Boubert from the University of Westminster

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the ambush predator in the deep depths of the ocean - The Frilled Shark

The Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to David Rothery from the Open University about why Planetary Science is the best kind of science

What do we learn about?

- Why you could see the Northern Lights in the UK again?

- A blue fireball lighting up the Spanish sky

- How a 75,000 year old Neanderthals' face was discovered?

- How do our brains really work?

- Is Planetary Science the best type of science?

0:00.0	It's the time of the week where we get very bored with life down here on planet Earth,
0:05.0	so we search through the solar system for some secrets.
0:10.0	Let's get on with a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.
0:13.0	My name is Dan.
0:15.0	This is the only show that discovers everything about science
0:18.0	that no one really has gotten to the bottom of,
0:21.0	apart from us.
0:22.0	Can't wait to bring it to you this week we're trying

0:38.0	is what makes our brain work, it's what creates behaviour.
0:41.0	That then gives us all of the experience that we have the world
0:44.1	around us. And in our mission to discover the best science ever we're heading into
0:50.4	space. I'm able to see the results of processes that we see going on
0:56.2	on the Earth but studying them going on on other planets. Sometimes with rock as
1:01.6	we have on Earth sometimes with ice behaving like rock.

1:15.0	It's all on the way in a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.
1:19.0	Let's kick things off with your science in the news. Scientists say that people in the
