In this episode, we will learn about snow, what it is made of and the different colours it can be. Did you know that snow could be in different colours? We will discuss the water cycle and how important snow is for the water supply in many places. We will look at The Science of Snowflakes and discuss how they are created and how each is unique. We will examine how the temperature influences the design of the snowflake. We will answer questions including why reindeer’s antlers fall off, how raindrops are made, how many people are on the earth, and why Neptune looks darker than Uranus.

In this episode, we'll journey through our home galaxy, the Milky Way, a vast spiral galaxy with over 100 billion stars, including our Sun. Located in the quieter Orion-Cygnus Arm, about 27,000 light-years from the center, our solar system orbits far from the powerful supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, which holds the galaxy together. We'll explore the three main types of galaxies—spiral, elliptical, and irregular—and imagine the technology that might one day let us travel beyond the Milky Way. Finally, we'll consider one of science's biggest mysteries: Are we alone in the galaxy? We'll learn how scientists search for life on planets in the "Goldilocks Zone," keeping us curious about what—and who—might be out there.
