Good afternoon, it's Jenny here with Thursday afternoon's

:00:00.:00:07.

Keep watching because we've got loads coming your way.

:00:08.:00:10.

Find out what Sir David Attenborough thinks.

:00:11.:00:15.

And dancers show off their moves in this CBBC flashmob.

:00:16.:00:28.

First, to some very exciting news in outer space.

:00:29.:00:31.

Astronomers in the United States say they may have

:00:32.:00:34.

discovered a brand new planet in our solar system that's about ten

:00:35.:00:37.

The solar system - it's 4.6 billion years

:00:38.:00:45.

old and made up of eight planets.

:00:46.:00:47.

But that could all be about to change.

:00:48.:00:54.

American astronomers say they have strong evidence

:00:55.:00:55.

that there is a new ninth planet orbiting the Sun -

:00:56.:00:58.

The mysterious world, nicknamed "Planet Nine",

:00:59.:01:05.

is thought to be gaseous and similar to Uranus or Neptune.

:01:06.:01:09.

The scientists have not observed the object directly yet,

:01:10.:01:12.

but say it's a planet because of the way other bodies

:01:13.:01:14.

By studies these rocks, we know how they should move. But they're not

:01:15.:01:32.

moving the way we expect. And the only explanation is another planet

:01:33.:01:37.

that is pulling on the objects and making them move differently.

:01:38.:01:40.

If it exists, Planet Nine would take between 10,000 and 20,000 years

:01:41.:01:43.

to complete one full lap around the Sun.

:01:44.:01:45.

The only thing left for astronomers to do now is track it down.

:01:46.:01:51.

We don't know exactly where it is. We are going to be scouring the

:01:52.:02:00.

skies to find it. Then we can study it.

:02:01.:02:02.

To tennis now and the Australian Open, where British number one,

:02:03.:02:05.

Johnanna Konta is through to the third round, after winning

:02:06.:02:07.

Andy Murray is also through to the next round.

:02:08.:02:10.

He beat Australian Sam Groth, in just 90 minutes.

:02:11.:02:12.

He'll now face Portugal's Joao Sousa.

:02:13.:02:17.

They stalked the earth hundreds of million years ago and scientists

:02:18.:02:20.

are constantly uncovering dinosaur fossils.

:02:21.:02:22.

But it's thought Sir David Attenborough has uncovered

:02:23.:02:25.

the world's biggest dinosaur for his latest documentary

:02:26.:02:27.

and he's told Newsround he believes there's a very small chance

:02:28.:02:30.

the prehistoric beasts could be brought back from extinction.

:02:31.:02:41.

A digital version of a dinosaur. But could this computer generated

:02:42.:02:51.

dinosaur become a reality. For David atborough, who was part of team who

:02:52.:02:55.

uncovered the bones of this creature, believes anything is

:02:56.:03:00.

possible. Do you think scientist could bring back dinosaurs? It is

:03:01.:03:06.

just possible that scientists could discover ways of doing so, if they

:03:07.:03:11.

did it would be, very... Expensive to do. He believes the money would

:03:12.:03:16.

be better spent looking after animals around today and there would

:03:17.:03:20.

be no space for them. Where would the poor old thing go? Where are you

:03:21.:03:30.

going to put him? We have enough problems keeping elephants alive.

:03:31.:03:34.

Where would you put a dinosaur? He believes the money would be better

:03:35.:03:38.

spent looking after animals alive today. But he was blown away by the

:03:39.:03:46.

discovery in Argentina. This is its thigh bone. They found over 200

:03:47.:03:53.

separate bones. We can be sure what the annal looked like. -- animal

:03:54.:03:58.

looked like. It was very big. So that was a real excitement to sea

:03:59.:04:05.

that. For Sir David discovering fossils is still exciting and he

:04:06.:04:08.

thinks there is so much more to find.

:04:09.:04:11.

Head over to the Newsround web site to see Sir David Attenborough's

:04:12.:04:13.

And you can find out more about the dinosaur fossils

:04:14.:04:17.

If you are a fan of CBBC show Taking the Next Step,

:04:18.:04:23.

or if you just like a bit of a boogie -

:04:24.:04:26.

200 dancers performed this fresh routine which was designed

:04:27.:04:29.

They all just started dancing at a shopping centre as part

:04:30.:04:33.

of the flash mob, which surprised a few people.

:04:34.:04:35.

There were all types of dancers from hip-hop to ballet taking part.

:04:36.:04:38.

It was filmed ahead of a new series of the show coming to CBBC later

:04:39.:04:41.

That's all from me, Newsround's back right here on CBBC tomorrow morning

:04:42.:04:50.
