You're watching Newsround this Wednesday morning. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:04 | |
I'm Ricky with all your top stories. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:06 | |
The pesky peacocks causing problems. | 0:00:06 | 0:00:10 | |
And the meteor caught on camera. | 0:00:10 | 0:00:16 | |
First up, and the International Space Station has been | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
circling our planet since 1998. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:28 | |
This week it achieved a truly epic milestone. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Here's Ayshah with more. | 0:00:30 | 0:00:36 | |
The International Space Station has passed its 100,000th | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
orbit of the Earth. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:45 | |
It's travelled more than 2.6 billion miles. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:51 | |
That's about the same distance as ten trips from Earth to Mars. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
The ISS is home to six people, who circle the Earth every 90 | 0:00:54 | 0:00:59 | |
minutes, and get to enjoy a spectacular sunrise | 0:00:59 | 0:01:03 | |
and sunset every 45 minutes. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:09 | |
And it's been part of 1,922 scientific investigations. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
It's been 15 and a half years of continuous human presence | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
on board this orbital outpost. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
Over 220 astronauts and cosmonauts from 18 different countries have | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
lived or visited here. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:26 | |
The Space Station travels at around five miles per second, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
250 miles above Earth. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
Pretty fast for something that's 357 feet long. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
That's about the same length as a football pitch. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
The ISS probably won't reach 200,000 orbits before it's retired, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:41 | |
but for now, this spacecraft has some more cruising to do. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:48 | |
It's a tribute to the team that designed it, that put it together; | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
the programmes that keep us flying safe. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
100,000 orbits. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:55 | |
The journey continues. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:01 | |
Football now, and Liverpool are fighting for the Europa League | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
title this evening. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:04 | |
They're taking on defending champions Sevilla in the final, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
at Basel in Switzerland. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
We asked Liverpool fans to tell us what a win | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
would mean for them. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
Chloe said, "It would be so awesome, and I would be dancing and screaming | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
with joy." | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
And Anne said, "I think it would be great, | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
because it is an amazing chance." | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
Thanks for those comments - | 0:02:24 | 0:02:25 | |

Next: They're loud, they're large and living in people's back gardens. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
These peacocks are on the move in Suffolk in the East of England. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
The birds have damaged plants, cars and woken people up | 0:02:37 | 0:02:40 | |
with their loud calls. | 0:02:40 | 0:02:41 | |
No-one seems to know where they came from. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
A local farmer has offered to take them in - but catching the peacocks | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
to re-home them is proving to be very difficult. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:53 | |
Finally, it's the question hundreds of thousands of people across social | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
media have been debating: Are these emojis the same monkey making | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
three different faces, or three different monkeys? | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
That got us thinking about other great online debates, | 0:03:00 | 0:03:02 | |
so here's Jenny with some of our favourites. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
I know what you're thinking - is this cat going up | 0:03:08 | 0:03:10 | |
or down the stairs? | 0:03:10 | 0:03:13 | |
The optical illusion racked up thousands of hits | 0:03:13 | 0:03:17 | |
online in April 2015. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:18 | |
Because of the way the light falls it's difficult to decide | 0:03:18 | 0:03:21 | |
whether the cat is moving up or down. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:23 | |
It's thought the clue is in the moggy's tail. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
What do you think? | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Is this dress blue/black or white/gold? | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Back in February 2015 this picture got millions | 0:03:31 | 0:03:33 | |
of people seriously confused, as no-one could decide | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
what colour it was. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
It's because colours can appear differently depending on what kind | 0:03:40 | 0:03:43 | |
of light they're in. | 0:03:43 | 0:03:44 | |
Next up, a real puzzler. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |
How would a dog wear trousers? | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
It all started when a meme with an illustration of a dog | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
wearing trousers two different ways was uploaded to social media. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
It got more than 60,000 likes and shares, and in a Twitter | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
vote the two-legged version won most support. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
Which brings us to these - emojis. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
What do you reckon? | 0:04:04 | 0:04:08 | |
One monkey making three separate faces, or three different monkeys? | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
Hundreds of thousands of people have had a lot to say about it, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
and in one poll it was a close call. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:17 | |
More than 200,000 people voted, and 53% of them think the monkey | 0:04:17 | 0:04:20 | |
emojis are just one monkey making three | 0:04:20 | 0:04:21 | |
different faces. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
Hmm. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
What about Newsround presenters, though? | 0:04:24 | 0:04:29 | |
Next, a US police sergeant looking for speeders captured something | 0:04:34 | 0:04:36 | |
he wasn't expected yesterday. | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
What looked like a giant fireball streaking across the sky was caught | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
on Sergeant Tim Farris' dashboard camera. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:44 | |
The bright flash was seen from several states, | 0:04:44 | 0:04:46 | |
and is thought to have been left by a meteor burning up as it passed | 0:04:46 | 0:04:50 | |
through Earth's atmosphere. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:53 | |
That's all from me; Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 |
