Martin here, live with the kids who dug up this amazing ancient

We explain how to catch a comet with a space probe.

First up, space history has been made today

after special probe Rosetta finally caught up with a comet it's been

Since we told you about it this morning the craft has become the

And despite the celebrations back here on earth this is just

Earlier today the Rosetta space craft began to orbit this comet.

It's going to spend the next year studying it.

Its mission is to find out whether comets kickstarted life

Comets scattered across earth 4.5 billion years ago, bringing with

them water and possibly some of the ingredients for life.

Scientists believe those ingredients mixed to create the chemicals

The biggest question we are trying to cancer is where it did like come

from? -- trying to cancer. Rosetta will spend the next few

months taking measurements In November scientists plan to land

a probe on the comet to see what it's made of

and find out whether comets do hold task, so Newsround got astrophysics

professor Tim O'Brien to tell you how it works...using a grape and an

orange! This is supposed to be the Comet and

this is the spacecraft. They are flying through space at amazing

speeds and they are trying to fly along together. The spacecraft goes

into orbit so in November, then it has mapped out the surface of the

Comet, we will send a lander on the spacecraft and that will drop onto

the Comet and it will screw itself in and it will take a ride into the

inner solar system. We will see images coming back and it is really

fantastic. Now, finding buried treasure might

sound like something out of the movies but that's exactly

what happened to Joseph, Aidan, The boys found a 4000-year-old

golden ornament at an old burial It's believed to be an ancient hair

clip from around 2,300 BC, Experts say it is priceless. Thank

you for coming in. Tell us what it was like. It was really good. We had

in digging and when we founded it was amazing. It is hard to describe

how you felt. When did you realise it was something that was worth

money? When we found out it was gold, they thought it was plastic

but when we found out it was gold, we found out it was worth a lot of

money. Are you going to be rich now? We are not! It is hopefully going to

a special museum in Newcastle and it will join other pieces of interest

there. There was another hair clip that was dug up. The other person, a

man Jozsef Alderson, he is a family relation. It is strange, because he

said they had not enriched their day, but he said we will leave the

rest for future generations and then it happened to be his own family

that found the other bed! -- that found the other piece. That is

amazing. You were on a special bake when you found it so do you have any

tips or viewers out there? If you are digging, it just brush the Earth

lightly. Look curtly.
