Welcome to Science Quest! 🚀 This week, we are looking at the future of space exploration, uncovering what animals get up to after dark, and answering the absolute weirdest questions about how our bodies actually work.

  • 🌕 Moon Base Blueprint: NASA has just unveiled its next major steps to build a permanent base on the Moon! Find out how astronauts plan to live, work, and survive on the lunar surface for months at a time.
  • 🤖 Zoo AI Night-Watch: A brilliant new project is using Artificial Intelligence to track what zoo animals do at night when the lights go out. Discover how this hidden spy tech is helping keepers take better care of their animals than ever before.
  • 🐒 Junk Food Monkeys: Primatologist Sylvain Lemoine joins us to discuss a strange new mystery: why have wild monkeys started eating soil? It turns out, it might be directly linked to them stealing and eating human junk food!
  • 🫁 The Oxygen Engine: Layton wants to know: how does breathing actually work? We break down the incredible mechanical power of your lungs and diaphragm to see how your body handles every single breath.
  • 🩸 The Hollow Bone Mystery: John Hutchinson answers Noah's mind-bending question: If birds have hollow bones to help them fly, then where do they get their red blood cells from? Prepare to have your brain blown by how bird skeletons actually work!
  • 🐌 Dangerous Dan: Watch your step for The Leopard Slug! This giant, spotted gastropod might look slow, but it's a fierce nocturnal predator that uses slime as a tracking device and engages in some of the most acrobatic, upside-down battles in the animal kingdom.
  • 🧠 Brain Box: Theoretical physicist Fay Dowker from Imperial College London steps into the Brain Box to tackle some of the biggest, most mind-melting equations about the fabric of space and time!

    And Jump straight through a wormhole to Deep Space High, your local inter-galactic school in space! Join Principal Pulsar and his class as they travel deep into the cosmos to explore the most extreme objects in existence. From the crushing gravity of Black Holes to the insane spinning speed of Neutron Stars, find out what makes deep space so terrifying, and why our little planet Earth is so incredibly special.
