Gassy Uranus, Giant Megaraptors, And The Pharaoh's Curse IFLScience - Break It Down

    • Science

This week in Break It Down, we explore why Uranus might contain more methane than we thought, just what is happening to bacteria on the ISS, quite how long animals have been making their own light for, why carvings on a bear bone are culturally important, giant megaraptor footprints in China, and whether anything spooky might happen if you dare to enter the Pharaoh's tomb.
Sit back, relax, and let's Break It Down...
