| 0:00.0 | Hello Explorer, welcome along to a brand new search through the solar system and it's all |
| 0:08.7 | about your questions this week in another science quest. My name's Dan and in every show we discover |
| 0:15.1 | the strangest things around. We chat to geniuses and it's all about what you're thinking. |
| 0:21.3 | If you have anything sciencey that you want answered, make sure you leave it as a voice note for me on the free FunKids app. |
| 0:27.3 | And at FunKidsLive.com, I will do the digging for you. |
