See you! | 0:00:00 | 0:00:05 | |
Morning, guys. | 0:00:05 | 0:00:06 | |
Martin here with your
Monday Newsorund. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Coming up: | 0:00:08 | 0:00:08 | |
We all love space, but have you ever
wondered how big it is? | 0:00:08 | 0:00:12 | |
We've been finding out. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:18 | |
And we meet the 13-year old ice
skaing world champion. | 0:00:18 | 0:00:26 | |
OK, let's start with
a quick round-up of some | 0:00:29 | 0:00:31 | |
of the day's sports stories. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:32 | |
First, to the Winter Paralympics,
and on the ice, Great Britain's | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
curling team are leading Sweden
in their latest round robin match. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:39 | |
But it's been bad news for
the british para-snowboarding team - | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
they have been knocked out
in the qulifying round. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
Now, sticking with winter sports,
try not to get too dizzy | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
when you watch this. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
This is 13-year-old
Alexandra Trusova who came first | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
in the junior figure skating World
Championships. | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
She already has loads
of world records and is now | 0:00:54 | 0:00:56 | |
the youngest ever World Champ. | 0:00:56 | 0:01:04 | |
Scotland have beaten
Ireland for the first time | 0:01:05 | 0:01:07 | |
in Women's Six Nations history. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
Chloe Rollee ran practically
the entire length of the pitch | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
to score the second of the Scots'
two tries, as they won 15-12. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
And starying with Scotland,
there was a cracking Old Firm derby | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
And staying with Scotland,
there was a cracking Old Firm derby | 0:01:20 | 0:01:22 | |
in the Scottish Premiership -
Josh Windass put Rangers ahead | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
at Ibrox after just three minutes. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
It was 2-2 at half-time before
Celtic snatched victory, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
thanks to Odsonne Edouard. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Here on Newsround we love hearing
about you, so we ve traveled | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
all over the country to hear some
of your amazing stories. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
This week we re hearing from Kane,
who found his forever family | 0:01:36 | 0:01:39 | |
when he was adopted. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:44 | |
My birth parents, I mean,
they did love me, but they just | 0:01:44 | 0:01:49 | |
couldn't look after me,
so it's really nice to know | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
that I now have parents
who can look after me. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:59 | |
Hi, I'm Kane, I'm 15 and I've
found my forever family. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
I've always known I've been
adopted and I think that's | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
really good because,
you know, it's not any secret | 0:02:06 | 0:02:08 | |
that is being kept from me. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
It's good to know what's happened
previously, stuff that | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
I might not have remembered. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:13 | |
In primary school when I told my
friends, a couple of them had been | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
teasing me about not having parents. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:18 | |
It felt a bit, you know,
not very happy because I guess | 0:02:18 | 0:02:22 | |
I was kind of jealous that other
people had their parents who they'd | 0:02:22 | 0:02:25 | |
lived with all their lives. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
But on the other hand,
I was so happy because I did | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
have a mum and dad. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
My brother that I have in my forever
family was also adopted | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
from a different family into the one
we both share now. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
I don't think being adopted
has changed anything. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
We still have fun and fights. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:47 | |
What might've happened? | 0:02:47 | 0:02:50 | |
Um... | 0:02:50 | 0:02:53 | |
I wouldn't be having
the life I have now, | 0:02:53 | 0:02:55 | |
which is really good. | 0:02:55 | 0:03:00 | |
It's just kind of shown how
important people are in our lives. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:08 | |
Next, we all know that
space is pretty huge, | 0:03:09 | 0:03:11 | |
but just how big actually is it? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:12 | |
That's what Oscar at Hutton Rudby
Primary School wanted to know. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Here's space expert
Sarah Bosman with the answer. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:25 | |
Hello, I'm Sarah Bosman and I am
an astrophysicist at UCL. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
I study mostly the early universe. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:39 | |
Space is really enormous. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
It's so big that it's
kind of hard to imagine. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
The units we use on Earth,
like kilometres or miles, | 0:03:42 | 0:03:50 | |
don't even make sense to apply
to space because you'll | 0:03:50 | 0:03:52 | |
just get too many zeros
if you try to think of it that way. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
So astronomers have to come up
with a whole new unit | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
to measure distances in space,
which is a light year. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
So for instance, a galaxy
is 100,000 light years | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
from one edge to the other. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:04 | |
That means if you are travelling
at the speed of light, | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
which is the fastest you can ever
go, it will still take you 100,000 | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
years from one edge to the other. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
And that's only how big one galaxy
is, so if we look outside | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
of our galaxy to how many other
galaxies there are, we just study | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
small patches of the sky and count
how many there in each small patch. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:22 | |
And the amount of galaxies we think
are in the universe, | 0:04:22 | 0:04:26 | |
it's about two trillion galaxies,
which is a ridiculous number. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:31 | |
So if you took all those
galaxies and split them | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
among everyone on Earth,
each person would have about 250 | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
galaxies all to themselves. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
And that's only the
space we know about. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:38 | |
Beyond that, there could
be even more space. | 0:04:38 | 0:04:45 | |
That's it from me for now. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:47 | |
I'll be back at about 8.20am. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:52 | |
Don't forget to head online
for the rest of the day's stories. | 0:04:52 | 0:05:00 |
