Hello and welcome along, Explorer. You've stumbled upon the only podcast that will actually take you through the universe. Let's search out some secrets across the solar system. It's a brand new Fun Kids Science Weekly.

Yeah, welcome along. My name's Dan. In all the other podcasts, and there are quite a few, they keep you down here on Earth. They play things nice and safe, but you and me, we are going to discover some brilliant science lurking through the galaxy. And what this week, we're talking about sloths.

Also, our battle to find the greatest science in the history of the world has us looking at the

aurora, we were looking at the aurora inside the lab. So we had an instrument that we've built.

It's called a planetarilla. There's only three in the UK, and it just simulates what happens

for the northern lights. And we're headed underground to find something slimy in the mud for this week's

dangerous Dan.

It's all on the way in a brand new Fun Kid Science Weekly.

Let's start off with your science in the news then.

A discovery underneath the basement of an office block in London has been described as one of the most important pieces of Roman history unearthed in the UK.

Archaeologists have been digging. They found a big piece of the ancient city's first basilica.

This is a 2,000-year-old public building where major political, economic and administrative decisions were made. So it was very

important. All the people there were doing very smart things, debating, talking in very loud
