    Listened

    In progress

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

    In Science in the News, Earth’s climate is now more out of balance than at any point in recorded history, with the planet gaining more heat than it can release. We also explore a surprising Iron Age discovery that has stunned scientists, before heading into deep space to investigate a newly discovered type of liquid planet, as Harrison Nicholls from Oxford University explains what it could reveal about worlds beyond our own.
