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 why this Christmas is unlikely to be a white one.

Dan starts with the latest science news where we learn why NASA won’t be returning to the moon until at least 2027, we explore a new project which focuses on stopping satellites from crashing, and finally, Jodie Mills from West Cumbria River Trust chats to Dan about their new festive, immersive trails!

We then answer your questions where Dan explains how MAGLEV trains work, and Kirsty McCabe is back to explain why a white Christmas is wishful thinking this year.

Dangerous Dan continues and we learn all about the pre-historic Mosasaurus.

And Battle of the Sciences continues where Dan chats to Dr. Chris Van Tulleken about the power of food and how it affects our bodies is the best kind of science.

What do we learn about?

· Why NASA has delayed their return to the moon

· What a MAGLEV train is and how it works
