Well, it's a very special time here in the UK where I am. We are into spring.

It's the start of May. We've crowned a brand new king. But none of that matters

to us because we are blasting off across the universe. It's a brand new fun kids

science weekly.

Welcome along, my name's Dan. This is the show where we explore the universe, the

solar system, the galaxy, everything lurking around. We find all those science

secrets that are hiding. Thank you so much for listening this week. We'll learn

all about a brand new space mission. It's the juice launch where the European

Space Agency launched a rocket that will head across the solar system to explore

the moons of Jupiter. We'll learn more about that with Claire Medhurst, who

actually watched the blast off at Mission Control.

They're going to be doing the first ever lunar Earth fly by. So it kind of goes into

a slight orbit, not quite orbit around the moon and then go past the Earth. And it

kind of steals energy from the planet. So kind of our orbit and our rotation and

takes that and lets it push it on for the next leg of its journey. So it's quite amazing.
