EARTH 2.0: The Epic Hunt for a New Home 🌍✨

Author: Fun Kids November 8, 2025 Duration: 31:17

Get ready for another jam-packed episode of Fun Kids Science Weekly — where we answer your biggest questions, explore the latest discoveries, and travel to the farthest corners of the universe!

This week, we’re looking up at the sky to discover why it’s blue, uncovering a brand-new glowing shark in the deep ocean, and joining a mission to find a planet just like Earth!

In Science in the News, Prince William reveals the five winners of the Earthshot Prize — celebrating the world’s best ideas for protecting our planet. Then, scientists uncover evidence that the first humans may have been inventors, and Dr. Will White from CSIRO introduces us to a dazzling new deep-sea species — a glowing shark that lights up the darkness!

We’ll also be tackling your questions: Marcus wants to know why the sky is blue, and meteorologist Kirsty McCabe has the brilliant explanation.

Plus, Dangerous Dan introduces us to one electrifying creature — the Electric Ray ⚡

And in Battle of the Sciences, astronomer Annelies Mortier takes us on a journey through space in the hunt for another world that could be just like ours.

What do we learn about?
· Why the sky is blue
· The new glowing shark discovered in the deep sea
· The earliest human inventors
· The Electric Ray
· And in Battle of the Sciences... the search for another Earth!

All on this week’s Fun Kids Science Weekly!
