Dangerous Dan!

Brain Box

Welcome to Science Quest! 🚀 This week, we are heading into the deep jungle to meet a newly discovered species of monkey, counting up the millions spent on the world's most expensive dinosaur fossil, and tracking the race to launch giant rockets right from the coast of the UK!


🐒 Secret Jungle Species: Scientists have just discovered a brand-new species of monkey hiding in the dense, remote rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo! Find out what it looks like and how it managed to stay hidden from humans for so long.


🦖 The Multi-Million Dollar Dino: The most expensive dinosaur fossil in history has just been sold at an action! Discover which prehistoric beast fetched this record-breaking price tag and who walked away with the ultimate fossil.


🚀 UK's Space Race:Bryden Priest from SaxaVord Spaceport joins Dan to share some massive space news. Giant rockets could soon be blasting off into orbit right from the coast of the UK! Find out how teams are prepping the launchpads for a historic countdown.


🪨 The Rock Formula: Liam asks a great geology question: what are the different types of rocks beneath our feet? We crack open the Earth’s crust to explore the difference between Igneous, Sedimentary, and Metamorphic rocks.


🌋 The Ultimate Hazard:Carina Fearnley from UCL tackles Aidan's terrifying question: what is the single most dangerous thing in the entire world? From supervolcanoes to invisible forces, get ready to find out what poses the ultimate threat to humanity.


🐀 Dangerous Dan: Watch out for the Nutria! This giant, orange-toothed swamp rodent might look like a harmless, oversized guinea pig, but it is actually a highly destructive, invasive pest that can completely destroy entire wetlands and riverbanks.


🧠 Brain Box: Astrophysicist Sheona Urquhart from The Open University steps into the Brain Box to take us on a journey past our solar system, explaining how we study distant galaxies billions of light-years away!

Geology Rocks: Oxygen, Rust, and the Red Planet 🌋

Grab your geological hammer and travel back in time with Finley! This week, we are discovering how scientists use rust locked inside ancient stone to solve secrets about our atmosphere.

By analyzing the rust inside rocks, geologists can determine exactly how much oxygen was in the air billions of years ago. Plus, we're finally answering the ultimate space-rock riddle: Why is Mars red? Find out how a planet-wide rust storm turned the fourth rock from the sun into a dusty, crimson desert!
