:00:00. > :00:14.Hi, I'm Martin with your morning Newsround. On today's show: A rare

:00:15. > :00:21.total eclipse of the moon. How licking rocks can help discover

:00:22. > :00:25.dinosaurs. First up - if you're planning on

:00:26. > :00:29.going to the beach this Easter I have some good news for you. A

:00:30. > :00:32.record number of UK beaches have received the top water quality award

:00:33. > :00:35.from the Marine Conservation Trust, meaning more of our coastline is

:00:36. > :00:39.cleaner than ever. The BBC's Tim Muffett put down his bucket and

:00:40. > :00:42.spade for a minute to send us this report.

:00:43. > :00:44.It is a beautiful morning near Gosport in Hampshire, where the

:00:45. > :00:50.water quality from this beach has been classed as excellent. Every

:00:51. > :00:53.year scientists test the quality of the water off our beaches and more

:00:54. > :01:07.than ever have reached the top rating. Around three quarters of the

:01:08. > :01:13.700 that were tested. Richard, you are from the Marine Conservation

:01:14. > :01:18.Society. Why the improvement? It seems we had a really good summer

:01:19. > :01:20.and there was hardly any rainfall so the beaches were not affected by

:01:21. > :01:24.floods which cause the sewers to overflow and go into the sea. The

:01:25. > :01:29.winter was very wet, will that not have made the pollution worse? It

:01:30. > :01:33.would have done at the time. Around the coast, the beaches are not

:01:34. > :01:37.tested at that time of year. I would imagine it would have been pretty

:01:38. > :01:44.bad at around the time of the floods. What are the dangers of

:01:45. > :01:48.dirty water? You can pick up some nasty bugs, ear, nose and throat

:01:49. > :01:52.infections, and things that can be harmful to you. It is important for

:01:53. > :01:56.people to swim in the sea, to play in the sea that you don't have those

:01:57. > :02:03.bugs to pick up. Some beaches failed to reach the minimum standard. It is

:02:04. > :02:06.not just down to the weather. Water companies and local authorities are

:02:07. > :02:11.being encouraged to make sure sewage does not flow into the sea. But it

:02:12. > :02:18.is good news when it comes to the quality of the water.

:02:19. > :02:20.A memorial service will be held at Liverpool's football ground later to

:02:21. > :02:23.mark the 25th Anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster. The tragedy

:02:24. > :02:27.happened in 1989 when 96 Liverpool fans died in a crush at an FA Cup

:02:28. > :02:30.semifinal. Thousands of people are expected to observe a minute's

:02:31. > :02:32.silence at seven minutes past three this afternoon, the time the game

:02:33. > :02:36.was stopped. Next, some of you might know from

:02:37. > :02:41.moving house how difficult it can be to transport all your stuff from one

:02:42. > :02:44.place to another. Well spare a thought for engineers in America who

:02:45. > :02:47.had to transport the most complete skeleton of a T-Rex ever discovered,

:02:48. > :02:56.over 2,000 miles from one side of the country to another.

:02:57. > :03:03.Roardiculous! In a basement at this museum in the

:03:04. > :03:11.Rockies, one of the most delicate packing jobs is underway. The

:03:12. > :03:18.66-year-old remains of the T-Rex, bound for the Natural History Museum

:03:19. > :03:24.in Washington. This is a once-in-a-lifetime moment to stand

:03:25. > :03:31.here and help pack up a T-Rex and packet across the country. Then put

:03:32. > :03:36.that on display. Most museums only get one shot at that if they are

:03:37. > :03:40.lucky. This is one of the most examined and documented dinosaurs in

:03:41. > :03:49.the world. But the science of discovering can be basic. Montana is

:03:50. > :03:54.dinosaur country. But how do scientists know they have found a

:03:55. > :04:01.dinosaur? The bone likes to hold on to your tongue. Put your tongue on

:04:02. > :04:10.to the bone. Its stock! Put your tongue on the rock for a negative

:04:11. > :04:13.test. It did not stick. The bones are transported in a climate

:04:14. > :04:17.controlled a truck. It has added security systems and the journey

:04:18. > :04:24.across the US is under constant satellite surveillance. This gives a

:04:25. > :04:30.good idea of how it will look when it is fully assembled. The first

:04:31. > :04:37.time in 66 million years the nation's T-Rex will stand on its own

:04:38. > :04:40.two feet. People across the Atlantic are

:04:41. > :04:44.enjoying a rare total lunar eclipse right now. These NASA pictures show

:04:45. > :04:48.what's been happening. The moon has been moving into the Earth's shadow

:04:49. > :04:52.this morning, covering it in full darkness. The moon will be fully

:04:53. > :04:55.eclipsed for more than an hour - during which it'll have a red glow.

:04:56. > :04:59.Just time for me to tell you to head over to the CBBC website because

:05:00. > :05:02.from 12:30 today Leah and I will be answering your questions live. So

:05:03. > :05:03.head online and ask us
