Hi, I'm Ricky with all the top stories this morning,

Nasa launches a super balloon to the edge of space.

First up, the International Space Station has been

This week it achieved a truly epic milestone.

The International Space Station has passed its 100,000th

It's travelled more than 2.6 billion miles.

That's about the same distance as ten trips from Earth to Mars.

The ISS is home to six people, who circle the Earth every 90

minutes, and get to enjoy a spectacular sunrise

And it's been part of 1,922 scientific investigations.

It's been 15 and a half years of continuous human presence

Over 220 astronauts and cosmonauts from 18 different countries have

The Space Station travels at around five miles per second,

Pretty fast for something that's 357 feet long.

That's about the same length as a football pitch.

The ISS probably won't reach 200,000 orbits before it's retired,

but for now, this spacecraft has some more cruising to do.

It's a tribute to the team that designed it, that put it together;

the programmes that keep us flying safe.

Sticking with space now, and Nasa have successfully launched a super

cubic metres and will carry out near-space investigations.

Scientists say the balloon will circle the globe once every one

to three weeks and will be visible from the ground in some countries.

The aim is for it to stay in the air for more than 100 days.

Almost a textbook launch. We were all just spot on.

Football now, and Liverpool are fighting for the Europa League

They're taking on defending champions Sevilla in the final,

We asked Liverpool fans to tell us what a win

to have your say go to the Chat page online.

Next: They're loud, they're large and living in people's back gardens.

These peacocks are on the move in Suffolk in the East of England.

The birds have damaged plants, cars and woken people up

No-one seems to know where they came from.

A local farmer has offered to take them in - but catching the peacocks

to re-home them is proving to be very difficult.

We have had some spectacular failures at catching them.

That involved two local councillors, a local doctor, and some people with

nets. Within seconds, the Peacock was on the roof!

Finally, it's the question hundreds of thousands of people across social

media have been debating: Are these emojis the same monkey making

three different faces, or three different monkeys?

That got us thinking about other great online debates,

so here's Jenny with some of our favourites.

I know what you're thinking - is this cat going up

The optical illusion racked up thousands of hits

Because of the way the light falls it's difficult to decide

whether the cat is moving up or down.

It's thought the clue is in the moggy's tail.

Is this dress blue/black or white/gold?

Back in February 2015 this picture got millions

of people seriously confused, as no-one could decide

It's because colours can appear differently depending on what kind

It all started when a meme with an illustration of a dog

wearing trousers two different ways was uploaded to social media.

It got more than 60,000 likes and shares, and in a Twitter

vote the two-legged version won most support.

One monkey making three separate faces, or three different monkeys?

Hundreds of thousands of people have had a lot to say about it,

More than 200,000 people voted, and 53% of them think the monkey

emojis are just one monkey making three

What about Newsround presenters, though?

Finally, a US police sergeant looking for

speeders captured something he wasn't expected yesterday.

speeders captured something he wasn't expecting yesterday.

What looked like a giant fireball streaking across the sky was caught

on Sergeant Tim Farris' dashboard camera.

The bright flash was seen from several states,

and is thought to have been left by a meteor burning up as it passed
