Hi guys, Ricky here with your Wednesday afternoon Newsround. | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
Fingernails are being bitten by space scientists right now, | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
as they wait to find out if the space robot | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Schiaparelli has landed safely on the surface of Mars. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
but there's a delay before it makes contact with Earth. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
If all goes well, it will be the European Space Agency's first | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
successful landing on the Red Planet after a failed attempt 13 years ago. | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
After a journey of 500 million miles, if it works | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
it'll kick off a mission that experts believe is our greatest | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
chance yet of finding proof of life on Mars. | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
So what is Schiaparelli and what it is doing? | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Here's five things you need to know about it. | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
and it's on a mission to land on Mars. | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
It's travelled 500 million kilometres over seven months | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
It's the first European probe in 13 years to give it a go. | :01:03. | :01:12. | |
The last one was the Beagle 2, which lost contact | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
when it landed in 2003. Oh, dear! | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
Schiaparelli is a fancy name for a lander, right? | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
It's been named after an Italian astronomer called | :01:24. | :01:25. | |
Something that's trickier than pronouncing Schiaparelli | :01:26. | :01:32. | |
It has to travel through temperatures | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
Then it'll use a parachute and rockets to help to slow down | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
After the landing, the satellite that took Schiaparelli | :01:43. | :01:50. | |
there, before separating, will study Mars'satmosphere. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
The Trace Gas Orbiter will look for things like methane gas, | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
which could give clues to whether there's life on the Red Planet. | :01:57. | :02:04. | |
One of the key jobs of this mission is to look for signs of past | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Last weekend, Tim Peake told Newsround he thinks intelligent life | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
So could something be living on Mars? | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
We asked our friendly neighbourhood space scientist, Tim O'Brien. | :02:18. | :02:27. | |
I'm not sure about intelligent life but there could be life on Mars. The | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
other part of the mission happening today is another spacecraft is | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
coming into orbit around Mars designed to look for gases like | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
methane, thought to be produced by life, maybe microbes. They may even | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
exist now below the surface of Mars. We will keep you updated. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
When was the last time you saw a hedgehog? | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Last week? Last month? | :02:56. | :02:56. | |
Well, research carried out by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust has | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
found there has been a huge drop in the number | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Sanctuaries like this one just go to show the problems these little | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Anne has about 80 to 90 hedgehogs here, | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
They come from various sources. People usually bring them to us. | :03:11. | :03:24. | |
They have abandoned babies who have wandered off on their own and got | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
lost. Injuries through netting. We also have the sick ones found in | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
gardens. We try to get them to wait as soon as possible and then we | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
release them. We have got a hole down here. | :03:44. | :03:44. | |
Ten-year-old Daisy is one of the many people | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
from across the UK doing their bit to help the hedgehogs. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
It is important to take care of hedgehogs because they are | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
endangered and I want them to be around when I'm older. I've been | :03:58. | :04:04. | |
making it like some work where the hedgehogs can live and stay and get | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
some food and hibernate. For example, I have made some houses and | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
given them water and food and worms. And my age who wants to do it, I | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
would say, yes, they can do it, because the more help we can have | :04:24. | :04:24. | |
the more hedgehogs there. These furry fellas are getting | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
ready for tonight's Their owner has re-created the GBBO | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
set especially for them, complete with teeny cake mixers | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
and miniature cakes. Beverly Borrill has created more | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
than 20 different hamster-size settings, including a mini | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
ballet studio, swimming She says Strictly Come Dancing | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
is next! Please do our studio. We are back in | :04:44. | :04:57. | |
the morning. Goodbye. | :04:58. | :05:01. |
