:00:00. > :00:00.Martin here, live with the kids who dug up this amazing ancient

:00:00. > :00:11.We explain how to catch a comet with a space probe.

:00:12. > :00:18.First up, space history has been made today

:00:19. > :00:21.after special probe Rosetta finally caught up with a comet it's been

:00:22. > :00:27.Since we told you about it this morning the craft has become the

:00:28. > :00:32.And despite the celebrations back here on earth this is just

:00:33. > :00:41.Earlier today the Rosetta space craft began to orbit this comet.

:00:42. > :00:44.It's going to spend the next year studying it.

:00:45. > :00:46.Its mission is to find out whether comets kickstarted life

:00:47. > :00:54.Comets scattered across earth 4.5 billion years ago, bringing with

:00:55. > :00:58.them water and possibly some of the ingredients for life.

:00:59. > :01:02.Scientists believe those ingredients mixed to create the chemicals

:01:03. > :01:21.The biggest question we are trying to cancer is where it did like come

:01:22. > :01:29.from? -- trying to cancer. Rosetta will spend the next few

:01:30. > :01:31.months taking measurements In November scientists plan to land

:01:32. > :01:34.a probe on the comet to see what it's made of

:01:35. > :01:38.and find out whether comets do hold task, so Newsround got astrophysics

:01:39. > :01:44.professor Tim O'Brien to tell you how it works...using a grape and an

:01:45. > :01:54.orange! This is supposed to be the Comet and

:01:55. > :02:00.this is the spacecraft. They are flying through space at amazing

:02:01. > :02:05.speeds and they are trying to fly along together. The spacecraft goes

:02:06. > :02:09.into orbit so in November, then it has mapped out the surface of the

:02:10. > :02:15.Comet, we will send a lander on the spacecraft and that will drop onto

:02:16. > :02:21.the Comet and it will screw itself in and it will take a ride into the

:02:22. > :02:25.inner solar system. We will see images coming back and it is really

:02:26. > :02:28.fantastic. Now, finding buried treasure might

:02:29. > :02:30.sound like something out of the movies but that's exactly

:02:31. > :02:33.what happened to Joseph, Aidan, The boys found a 4000-year-old

:02:34. > :02:37.golden ornament at an old burial It's believed to be an ancient hair

:02:38. > :02:54.clip from around 2,300 BC, Experts say it is priceless. Thank

:02:55. > :03:02.you for coming in. Tell us what it was like. It was really good. We had

:03:03. > :03:10.in digging and when we founded it was amazing. It is hard to describe

:03:11. > :03:19.how you felt. When did you realise it was something that was worth

:03:20. > :03:25.money? When we found out it was gold, they thought it was plastic

:03:26. > :03:31.but when we found out it was gold, we found out it was worth a lot of

:03:32. > :03:39.money. Are you going to be rich now? We are not! It is hopefully going to

:03:40. > :03:50.a special museum in Newcastle and it will join other pieces of interest

:03:51. > :04:00.there. There was another hair clip that was dug up. The other person, a

:04:01. > :04:09.man Jozsef Alderson, he is a family relation. It is strange, because he

:04:10. > :04:16.said they had not enriched their day, but he said we will leave the

:04:17. > :04:22.rest for future generations and then it happened to be his own family

:04:23. > :04:33.that found the other bed! -- that found the other piece. That is

:04:34. > :04:42.amazing. You were on a special bake when you found it so do you have any

:04:43. > :04:45.tips or viewers out there? If you are digging, it just brush the Earth

:04:46. > :04:59.lightly. Look curtly.
