    What is zero gravity?

    Imagine living on the International Space Station, zooming around the Earth at a mind-blowing 17,500 miles per hour! But what actually happens to your human body when there is absolutely no gravity holding you down? Hosts Mira and Finn are blasting off to explore the wild, weird, and wonderful effects of microgravity! Did you know that if you went to space right now, you would instantly grow up to two whole inches taller? Without gravity to squish your spine, you stretch right out! But that is just the beginning. You'll also learn about "puffy-face, bird-leg syndrome," why astronauts have to cover their food in spicy hot sauce just to taste it, and why drinking water involves catching giant, wobbly floating blobs! Discover why astronauts must strap themselves to the walls like bats just to get a good night's sleep, and why they have to run on special bungee-cord treadmills for two hours every single day. Get ready to learn the amazing science behind how the human body adapts to life in the stars!

    How did they invent the lightbulb?

    Have you ever looked up at a booming thunderstorm and wondered what lightning actually is? Did you know a single bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the sun?! In this electrifying episode, Mira and Finn uncover the shocking true story of how humans tamed the wildest force in nature: electricity! Join us as we travel back in time to 1752 to watch Benjamin Franklin fly his famous kite into a dark, brewing storm. Then, zoom all the way down to a microscopic level to meet the tiny, hyperactive, invisible bits of energy called electrons! We will also follow the famous inventor Thomas Edison on his wild race to create the very first working lightbulb. You won't believe the bizarre things his team tested to make a bulb glow—they tried 6,000 different materials, including a hair pulled right out of a man's beard! From dangerous lightning bolts zapping at 270,000 miles per hour to the quiet hum of your bedroom lamp, discover how human curiosity lit up the entire world. It's basically magic, but it's real science!

    Why does the ocean have tides?

    Have you ever wondered why the ocean creeps up the beach and then slides back out every single day? It is not magic—it is gravity! Join Mira and Finn as they uncover the wild secrets of the sea. You will discover how a giant rock floating in space—the Moon—actually pulls the Earth's water to create high and low tides! We'll even learn what happens when the massive Sun joins in for a giant game of tug-of-war. But the adventure doesn't stop at the sunny beach! We are taking a high-tech submarine dive straight down into the freezing, pitch-black Midnight Zone! Did you know there are fish that make their own light? Meet the wild anglerfish with a glowing, bacteria-filled fishing rod growing right out of its head! Plus, you'll come face-to-face with the legendary giant squid, an enormous creature with eyes the exact size of a dinner plate! From glowing ocean predators to the unbelievable crushing pressure of the deep sea, you will never look at the ocean the same way again. Grab your submarine gear and let's dive in!
