Hello, everyone. I'm Cressida Cowell, author of How to Train Your Dragon, and I'm just popping

in to tell you about my new book series, Witchway to Anywhere. It's a story about four children

who discover that there are alternative worlds beyond our own, and that they can travel to them

with the help of a magical map and a very special gift. Of course, this leads to epic, unexpected

adventures. Witchway to Anywhere, and its sequel, Witchway Round the Galaxy, are both available

to buy now. Happy reading! Hello, welcome to a brand new episode of the best podcast in the

universe. You've stumbled across the Thun Kids Science weekly. My name's Dan, this is the show

where we search all through the galaxy, trying to seek some of the science secrets that are

lurking all around the place. We'll head up to the solar system, we'll come back down to earth,

and we'll get you done in about half an hour or so. Not bad for an intergalactic mission, right?

This week, you can hear from a real-life explorer, Ella Al Shamahi will be on telling us about her

brand new TV show that looks at how the world is changing in some of the most remote places.

We're going to see a lot of stuff happening in 70 years, not necessarily in a good way,

so some of the stories we're following, like for example, the Pangolins in Cambodia,

some experts think the Pangolins will become extinct in a decade, so while we're filming this show,

we'll be seeing that presumably. Also, we'll head up to Deep Space High to take a bird's eye view

of the Earth's gravity. Gravity has been around since the start of the universe,

it pulled the atoms together to make stars and planets and keeps them in the orbit,

it keeps the atmosphere close to the surface and your feet on the ground.

And I've got your questions to answer as always this week,

they're on sore throats and the sky. It's all coming up in a blistering new fun kid science weekly.

Let's kick things off with this week's science in the news. NASA's Perseverance Rover on Mars
