Martin here, live with the kids who dug up this amazing ancient | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
We explain how to catch a comet with a space probe. | :00:00. | :00:11. | |
First up, space history has been made today | :00:12. | :00:18. | |
after special probe Rosetta finally caught up with a comet it's been | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
Since we told you about it this morning the craft has become the | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
And despite the celebrations back here on earth this is just | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
Earlier today the Rosetta space craft began to orbit this comet. | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
It's going to spend the next year studying it. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
Its mission is to find out whether comets kickstarted life | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Comets scattered across earth 4.5 billion years ago, bringing with | :00:47. | :00:54. | |
them water and possibly some of the ingredients for life. | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
Scientists believe those ingredients mixed to create the chemicals | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
The biggest question we are trying to cancer is where it did like come | :01:03. | :01:21. | |
from? -- trying to cancer. Rosetta will spend the next few | :01:22. | :01:29. | |
months taking measurements In November scientists plan to land | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
a probe on the comet to see what it's made of | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
and find out whether comets do hold task, so Newsround got astrophysics | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
professor Tim O'Brien to tell you how it works...using a grape and an | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
orange! This is supposed to be the Comet and | :01:45. | :01:54. | |
this is the spacecraft. They are flying through space at amazing | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
speeds and they are trying to fly along together. The spacecraft goes | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
into orbit so in November, then it has mapped out the surface of the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
Comet, we will send a lander on the spacecraft and that will drop onto | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
the Comet and it will screw itself in and it will take a ride into the | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
inner solar system. We will see images coming back and it is really | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
fantastic. Now, finding buried treasure might | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
sound like something out of the movies but that's exactly | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
what happened to Joseph, Aidan, The boys found a 4000-year-old | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
golden ornament at an old burial It's believed to be an ancient hair | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
clip from around 2,300 BC, Experts say it is priceless. Thank | :02:38. | :02:54. | |
you for coming in. Tell us what it was like. It was really good. We had | :02:55. | :03:02. | |
in digging and when we founded it was amazing. It is hard to describe | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
how you felt. When did you realise it was something that was worth | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
money? When we found out it was gold, they thought it was plastic | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
but when we found out it was gold, we found out it was worth a lot of | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
money. Are you going to be rich now? We are not! It is hopefully going to | :03:32. | :03:39. | |
a special museum in Newcastle and it will join other pieces of interest | :03:40. | :03:50. | |
there. There was another hair clip that was dug up. The other person, a | :03:51. | :04:00. | |
man Jozsef Alderson, he is a family relation. It is strange, because he | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
said they had not enriched their day, but he said we will leave the | :04:10. | :04:16. | |
rest for future generations and then it happened to be his own family | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
that found the other bed! -- that found the other piece. That is | :04:23. | :04:33. | |
amazing. You were on a special bake when you found it so do you have any | :04:34. | :04:42. | |
tips or viewers out there? If you are digging, it just brush the Earth | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
lightly. Look curtly. | :04:46. | :04:59. |
