Hey, guys, Martin here with your final Newsround of the day. Coming | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
up: Could scientists finally find the unknown chunk of the universe? | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
And the kangaroo that has more than just a spring in its step. This is | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
Newsround. First to the mystery surrounding | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
what scientists say makes up a quarter of our universe. It's known | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
as dark matter, but the problem is no-one has actually ever seen it or | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
detected it. Now an experiment in South Dakota, America, might finally | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
solve the mystery. Nel's got more. No-one knows what it looks like, but | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
many scientists say without it, the universe wouldn't exist in its | :00:46. | :00:55. | |
current form. Essentially, they think it is a type of particle. The | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
risks are much of this stuff. There are billions of particles floating | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
through as all the time. Without it, we would not be here. No-one knows | :01:04. | :01:12. | |
what dark matter looks like, but scientists think these mysterious | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
particles are everywhere. And now an experiment located in the bottom of | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
a gold mine in South Dakota in America could offer the best chance | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
yet of detecting dark matter. It is a big tank which has got a particle | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
detector in now. As they streamed through the earth, it will catch the | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
very occasional times that the particles bump into regular matter. | :01:32. | :01:40. | |
The race is hotting up to find dark matter and if it does exist, | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
scientists in South Dakota want to be the first ones to detect it. | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
Football now and it's a big game for Manchester United tonight. The Reds | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
will play against tournament favourites Bayern Munich for a place | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
in the Champions League semifinal. United go into the match 1-1 on | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
aggregate. Wayne Rooney was a doubt to play after getting an injured toe | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
in training. However, his manager thinks he's too important to leave | :02:01. | :02:08. | |
out. He is happy to take an injection to play in the game, which | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
shows you his feeling about the game and that the club. | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
Now check out this robotic kangaroo, made by a company in Germany. It | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
jumps and acts just like a real kangaroo. However, the designers say | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
it's not a toy and was built to show how the movement of animals can help | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
build industrial machines. Finally, take a look at this. These | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
pictures were taken at the edge of space from a camera attached to a | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
balloon by a group of school children. The balloon popped when | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the pressure got too low and sent the camera floating back to earth. | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
The experiment was carried out by the engineering club at Cedars Upper | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
School, who worked with Cambridge University to make the weather | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
balloon. And don't forget to check out the | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
