SPACE NEWS NASA has found a galaxy far, far away that is shaped like a Star Wars TIE Fighter! Roughly five years ago, NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered a faint gamma ray source 500 million light years away in the Cassiopeia constellation. Due to the distance, astronomers used radio waves to study the object, known as TXS 0128+554 (or TXS 0128 for short). Over time, astronomers charted the shape and noted a black hole at the centre of the active galaxy, with twin jets of energy blasting from it! WORLD NEWS An extraordinary event occurred in the town of Olten, Switzerland in August – it ‘snowed’ chocolate! A ventilation system malfunction at the nearby Lindt and Sprüngli chocolate factory caused cocoa powder to sprinkle down on the town. The…

PROTECT THE POWER As we already know, The Mandalorian is set before the events of The Force Awakens. The first season follows a bounty hunter called Din Djarin, an orphan raised by Mandalorian warriors. Known as ‘Mando’, the talented tracker travelled across the galaxy to collect a young, mysterious Force-user. Eventually, he decided to protect his ward, instead of honouring the bounty hunting rules. That Force-user is The Child (or ‘Baby Yoda’ as he has been named by fans) and the powerful kid has led Mando on quite the adventure! The new season introduces more characters and a larger story. Previous episodes focused on Mando, but there will be new angles and new storylines for other characters now too. ESCAPE THE EMPIRE There will be eight episodes in the new…

Meet Dr Karen Sommerville, a horticultural scientist at the Australian PlantBank and the Scientific Officer in charge of the Rainforest Seed Conservation Project! K-Z : Hi Karen! What does a horticultural scientist typically do? K: Horticultural scientists know about plants and how to grow them. Most often work with fruit crops, but I work with Australian native plants.
