:00:00. > :00:08.Hi, guys, Ricky here with your Thursday Newsround.
:00:09. > :00:27.And meet the BIGGEST star of the Natural History Museum.
:00:28. > :00:33.The first British woman to play in a Wimbeldon Semi Final for almost
:00:34. > :00:36.40 years was beaten by former champ Venus Williams.
:00:37. > :00:53.It was a really good match between them. That hill over there was
:00:54. > :00:57.absolutely packed and her fans are absolutely devastated, as you can
:00:58. > :01:03.imagine. Venus Williams absolutely stormed through that want to win.
:01:04. > :01:11.One more thing to update you on. Ordinary, the number one, top player
:01:12. > :01:15.in wheelchair tennis also lost in straight sets. We don't really have
:01:16. > :01:21.good British tennis news at the moment. But a quick break away from
:01:22. > :01:25.tennis and there is a band which plays around Centre court just
:01:26. > :01:30.before people go on and I managed to speak to some of them.
:01:31. > :01:32.It's a really good experience because not many people do it.
:01:33. > :01:35.We are really privileged to have that opportunity every year
:01:36. > :01:41.I was quite nervous but it is quite fun.
:01:42. > :01:44.OK, so I've heard that there a song that you can only play at Wimbledon.
:01:45. > :01:52.It's a great thing because it sort of represents Wimbledon
:01:53. > :01:54.and it's just like a special thing and you always are proud
:01:55. > :02:04.What's your favourite song you love to play?
:02:05. > :02:06.My favourite piece to play is the Stevie Wonder medley.
:02:07. > :02:09.Because there's lots of great tunes that we play in that.
:02:10. > :02:30.They had loads of people cheering for them, me included.
:02:31. > :02:40.Well, that's it from Wimbledon today, we'll be back tomorrow
:02:41. > :02:48.It will include the men's semifinal. That would be fantastic.
:02:49. > :02:55.The first pictures have come back from Nasa's Juno probe
:02:56. > :02:58.which has been sent to take photographs of Jupiter's Red Spot.
:02:59. > :03:00.These pictures are the closest a camera
:03:01. > :03:03.The spot is actually a storm which has been raging for hundreds
:03:04. > :03:06.of years and is even bigger than the Earth!
:03:07. > :03:08.But it is shrinking and Nasa wants to know why.
:03:09. > :03:10.Next up, she's big, blue and a bit boney.
:03:11. > :03:13.The Natural History Museum in London has a new star resident.
:03:14. > :03:21.You might have spotted him on a school trip.
:03:22. > :03:24.The diplodicus has been the rock star of the Natural History Museum
:03:25. > :03:34.But, now, it's out with old and in with the blue.
:03:35. > :03:38.Meet Hope, Balaenoptera musculus, better known as a blue whale.
:03:39. > :03:45.Weighing up to 200 tonnes, that's almost 30 African elephants.
:03:46. > :03:48.And measuring in at a lengthy 30 metres,
:03:49. > :03:52.or two double-decker buses, if you prefer.
:03:53. > :03:55.The lower jawbone is the largest single bone to be grown by any
:03:56. > :04:06.And they can live to well over 100 years.
:04:07. > :04:16.Blue whales were hunted almost to extinction in the 1900s.
:04:17. > :04:19.But were also one of the first species humans decided to save.
:04:20. > :04:22.So, by introducing Hope, the museum once visitors to think
:04:23. > :04:24.more about protecting animals, not just their history.
:04:25. > :04:28.We wanted to have something large and impressive and hopefully
:04:29. > :04:31.She will inspire people and she is gorgeous.
:04:32. > :04:34.It's taken the team months to put together Hope's 221 bones.
:04:35. > :04:36.They had to use special technology like 3-D printing
:04:37. > :04:43.and work with teams of engineers and conservationists.
:04:44. > :04:48.But, don't worry if you missed Dippy, he's set
:04:49. > :04:51.for his first-ever UK tour to visit the fans
:04:52. > :04:59.That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 0740.
