Studying the MYSTERIOUS storms of Neptune...

We're boarding our rocket ship to Neptune this week! Professor Patrick Irwin from the University of Oxford is here to chat to Dan all about his research on the dark spots on Neptune. First discovered in the 1980s with new space faring technology, the spots can now be studied from Earth. This is no easy feat - they disappear and reappear all the time. And yet, Patrick and his team have made great strides in solving this science mystery!  Dangerous Dan takes us to a terrifying plant in South America known as the Devil's Trumpets (pretty appropriate name if you ask me), you'll find out how big infinity REALLY IS, and NASA's James Webb telescope is picking up signs of life among the distant stars and planets! Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
