Buster has turned the New Moon Theater into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City. But with no connections, Buster and his cast have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul wolf Jimmy Crystal. In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal’s attention, Gunter spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs with, promising that their new show will star lion rock legend Clay Calloway. As Gunter helps Buster dream up an out-of-this-world theatrical masterpiece, and the pressure (and sinister threats) from Mr. Crystal mount, Rosita’s leading role in the show gets ripped away and handed to Mr. Crystal’s spoiled daughter, Porsha. Desperate to…

The SAAF started with over 100 aircraft donated by Great Britain. Zwartkop Air Station was established shortly thereafter as the first formal military airfield in sub-Saharan Africa in 1921! The rise of the SAAF enabled the aviation industry to grow as the pilots were trained. The airmail service and the trans-Africa service also started in the 1920s. The SAAF grew rapidly in the 1930s and several aircraft were purchased to upgrade the fleet. The expansion stood the SAAF in good stead during World War II as sufficient craft were available and enough personnel had been trained. The SAAF had to drastically scale down after the war. The SAAF contingent was the fourth largest to participate in the 1948/1949 Berlin Airlift and in 1950 No. 2 Squadron was sent to Korea…

What is the difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse? SOLAR ECLIPSE A solar eclipse happens when the Moon gets in the way of the Sun’s light and casts its shadow on Earth. That means during the day, the Moon moves over the Sun and it gets dark. Getting a chance to see a total solar eclipse is rare. LUNAR ECLIPSE During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the Sun’s light hitting the Moon. That means that during the night, a full moon fades away as Earth’s shadow covers it up. It’s easy to get these two types of eclipses mixed up. An easy way to remember the difference is in the name. The name tells you what gets darker when the eclipse happens. In…

In the dark, cold world of the deep sea, things are very different from our world on land. In some places the ocean floor is flat and muddy, in others steep and rocky. And in some places, boiling water and minerals gush from cracks in the ocean floor. Sometimes there are strong currents, but in some deep places the ocean is still and barely moves. The deeper you go in the sea, the more pressure is on you from the tons of seawater pressing down. In these challenging conditions, we find oddly shaped and strangely adapted sea creatures, the “creeps from the deep”. To find out more about the ocean bottom and the creatures that live there, deep-diving submersibles are used, or television cameras operated by remote control are lowered…
