It’s time for another trip around the solar system on the BIGGER and BETTER Science Weekly!

In this episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly, we answer YOUR questions, have scientists battle it out to decide which science is the best, and this week we’re diving into the science of why some spots on our body make us laugh until we squirm — the mystery of ticklishness revealed!

First up in Science in the News, NASA prepares to send astronauts on a 10-day trip around the Moon next year — an epic journey into deep space! Then, we chase down Emile the Elk, who’s been roaming across Europe all summer before finally being caught. And finally, Dan is joined by Ed Turner from the National Space Centre to explore the Orionids meteor shower — a dazzling cosmic light show set to brighten up the skies all through October.

Then, we answer your questions! Leo wants to know why we get headaches, and neuroscientist Sophie Scott explains why certain spots on our bodies are extra ticklish.

In Dangerous Dan, we’re meeting one of the deadliest scorpions on the planet: the Indian Red Scorpion.

And in Battle of the Sciences, Exmoor National Park Ranger Charlotte Wray lifts the lid on the wild world of park rangers — and reveals what it really takes to protect one of Britain’s most stunning landscapes.

What do we learn about?
· Why certain spots on our body are ticklish
· NASA’s plan to send astronauts on a 10-day lunar journey
· How Emile the Elk became Europe’s most famous runaway
· The cosmic wonder of the Orionids meteor shower
· The deadly Indian Red Scorpion
· And in Battle of the Sciences... the wild world of park rangers!

All on this week’s episode of Science Weekly!
