This week, Dan's answering your science questions!

How far Uranus is from the Sun? Ever wondered how long humans have been on Earth? And perhaps the most pressing question of all: how do toasters not get hot on the outside?

We also check in with the Aquanauts, where this week, they’re  finding out about the impact everyday life has on our water supply... 

Join us as we explore fascinating facts, surprising discoveries, and the wonders of science.

Dangerous Dan!

Battle of the Sciences

It's still time for another BIG and BRILLIANT adventure into the world of science on this week’s Science Quest!

In Science in the News, a rare turtle rescued in the UK begins the next stage of its recovery, scientists discover that snakes don’t get hungry in the same way humans do, and archaeologist Nataša Sarkic joins Dan to investigate the remains of a so-called “vampire” found in a grave at Račesa, a fortress in eastern Croatia.

It’s time for your questions too. Leo wants to know how chameleons change colour, and Simon Green from the Open University answers Roscoe’s big space question: just how hot is the Sun’s core?

Dangerous Dan introduces the bizarre hag moth, and in Battle of the Sciences, we head beneath the ice with glaciologist Sammie Buzzard from the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling to uncover what glaciers can teach us about our planet.

Plus, in Space Cadets, Harry and Terry blast off on an accidental adventure to the Sun to discover more about the star at the centre of our Solar System.

What we learn about:


How rescued sea turtles recover


Why snakes don’t feel hunger like humans


The truth behind a “vampire” burial in Croatia


How chameleons change colour


How hot the Sun’s core really is


The unusual hag moth


What glaciologists study beneath the ice

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