Petrol pump politics; Matildas through to semis; Oscar time in LA; and whale-munching micro fish.

Ever noticed mum or dad groaning at the petrol pump? A lot of the oil used to make petrol comes from the Middle East. When conflict makes it risky for ships to move oil through places like the Strait of Hormuz, less oil gets through—so petrol prices go up!

The Oscars have rolled out the red carpet in Los Angeles, and an Adelaide visual effects team is right in the spotlight!

Australia’s Matildas scored a big 2–1 win over North Korea to leap into the Asian Women’s Cup semi-finals! Goals from Sam Kerr and Alana Kennedy sealed the deal.

When a whale sinks to the ocean floor after it dies, it becomes a giant underwater buffet called a “whale fall.” Sharks, crabs, worms—even spooky “zombie worms”—move in to feast.
