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, NASA is rethinking its plans for landing astronauts on the Moon, scientists believe the history of writing might be thousands of years older than we once thought, and Frederick Wilkinson from Queen Mary University of London explains why a recent boom in sea turtle numbers might not be quite as good news as it sounds.

It’s time for your questions too. Akiva wants to know why your tummy gets smaller when you breathe in, and John Bridges from Leicester University answers Nicolas' question: How are asteroids made?

Dangerous Dan introduces us to something a little different this week: the super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b, a strange and fascinating world far beyond our Solar System.

Then in Battle of the Sciences, Mark Grabowski from Liverpool John Moores University steps into the ring to make the case for palaeoanthropology, the science that studies ancient humans and our evolutionary ancestors.

Plus, Harry and Terry stumble across the asteroid belt in this week’s Space Cadets adventure as they continue their accidental journey through space.

What do we learn about?
How asteroids form in space
Why NASA is changing its plans for Moon missions
Why the history of writing might be older than we thought
Why a sea turtle population boom may not be entirely good news
What happens to your body when you breathe in
The strange super-Earth exoplanet TOI-1452b
How scientists study ancient humans and our ancestors

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