    Get ready to kick off the New Year with an out-of-this-world episode of Science Weekly!

    We’re docking with the International Space Station as world-famous astronaut Tim Peake joins us to reveal what life is really like in space, including how rockets travel beyond Earth. We’re also diving into the science of feelings, with expert tips on how to understand and manage big emotions.

    In Science in the News, scientists think the ancestors of sharks may be far older than we once believed, a Welsh farm celebrates the birth of a critically endangered rhino, and neuroscientist Alexa Mosuley explains her discovery that the human brain develops through five different eras.

    Then it’s time for your questions. Clement wants to know what electricity actually is, and astronaut Tim Peake answers Jerry’s space-age question about how rockets get into orbit.

    Dangerous Dan returns with Chungkingosaurus, a lesser-known but fascinating dinosaur from the Jurassic period.

    And in Battle of the Sciences, clinical psychologist Dr Oona McEwan shares science-backed ways to keep your emotions under control when things feel overwhelming.

    Plus, Professor Hallux is back at the Happy Health Helpdesk to explain why we get butterflies in our stomach when we’re nervous.

    This week, we learn about:

    How rockets travel into space

    What electricity really is

    Why sharks are older than we thought

    How the brain develops over time

    Simple science tips to manage big emotions

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