The Hi, I'm Leah with your last Newsround of the day. Coming up: The

rescue of three bears who were kept as pets. And scientists discover

more about the Moon. It's something you see every evening lighting up

the night sky but have you ever wondered what the Moon is made of?

Well scientists have been trying to work out the make up of the Moon for

a long time. They thought they'd understood it but now they're not so

sure. Nel's been investigating. The Moon - when it's shining brightly

you can't miss it and it's an object that has fascinated people for

thousands of years. You may think the moon's just there to tell you

it's time for bed. But it actually has loads of functions. The moon

affects the tides in our oceans and the seasons in the year. It can also

be used to measure things like time and date in a calendar. And sending

a man to the moon in 1969 was one of the biggest achievements of our

time. By studying rocks from the Moon, scientists thought they had

worked out what was up there. But recently they've discovered it may

have a lot less water than they thought. So what is it made of and

why does it matter? Storytellers used to say it was made of cheese -

well one thing for sure that's definitely not true. We used to

think the moon was made in a massive collision back in history but that

would have tried it out. -- dried it out. It's clear there's still loads

to find out about the moon. There are plans to send more missions up

there in the future so chances are there are loads more discoveries yet

to come. Next, a college in London has started a girls-only course for

wannabe orchestra conductors after complaints there's too few women

doing it. Last year this lady - Marin Alsop - became the first woman

ever to conduct the famous Last Night of the Proms event. We've been

asking what jobs you'd like to see more women or more men doing? Tori

in Sheffield says there should be more girls designing cars. Alice, in

Basingstoke says I'd like to see more male nurses and dentists and

more female doctors. And before we go three brown bear cubs have been

rescued in Eastern Europe The one-month-old cubs - thought to be

brothers and sisters - were being kept illegally inside two separate

homes. Animal campaigners were tipped off when photos of the cubs

were spotted on a social networking site. The trio are now being looked

after at a bear sanctuary and authorities are investigating what

happened to the mother. That's all from me, Ricky's back with more

Newsround tomorrow morning at 07:40. Bye from me!
