COSMIC CALCULATORS: How We Use Computers in Space🖥️❓

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 answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out for which science is the best & learn all about a tree-planting robot.

Dan starts with the latest science news where we learn all a spacecraft on its way to visit an asteroid knocked off course by NASA in 2022, how scientists confirmed that the asteroid that destroyed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago wasn't alone and University of Surrey's Robert Siddall tells us all about their tree-planting robot named Plantolin.

Then we delve into your questions where Dan explains whether the moon has a core & Dan O'Neill from the Royal Veterinary College answers Ben's question on why dogs have wet noses.

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the Trapdoor Spider

The Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Andreea Font from Liverpool John Moores University to learn about why Computational Astrophysics is the best kind of science?

What do we learn about?

A spacecraft sent on a mission to save an asteroid Why there was more than one asteroid that killed the dinosaurs A tree-planting robot Why do dogs have wet noses? Is Computational Astrophysics the best type of science?

All on this week's episode of Science Weekly!
