ASTRONAUT TIM PEAKE: Life On The International Space Station 🚀 🌌

Get ready for another BIG and BRILLIANT journey into the world of science on this week’s Science Weekly! We’re asking a huge question… we talk about science every week, but what actually is it?

In Science in the News, researchers reveal that cats were domesticated much earlier than anyone thought, lightning has been spotted on Mars for the very first time, and Allowen Evin joins Dan to dig up a MASSIVE discovery about how dogs first transformed from wolves into the pets we know today!

Then it’s time for your questions! William wants to know the difference between the flu and the common cold, and Dr Sarah Casewell breaks down what science really is.

Dangerous Dan is back with one of the fiercest ancient predators ever — the smilodon, the gigantic sabre-toothed cat with jaws you definitely wouldn’t want to meet.

And in Battle of the Sciences, we’re joined by science royalty… astronaut Tim Peake! He reveals what life is really like when you’re floating hundreds of kilometres above Earth.

Plus, in Marvellous Missions, we blast off through a wormhole to Deep Space High as Principal Pulsar and the class head to the International Space Station for an out-of-this-world lesson.

This week, we learn about:
– How and when cats were first domesticated
– The first lightning ever seen on Mars
– How ancient wolves became modern dogs
– What separates the flu from a common cold
– What it’s really like to live in space with Tim Peake

All that and more on this week’s Science Weekly!
