Episode 35 (29th): The Stellar Truth About Twinkling Stars and Shining Bright

**Wake Up Kids** *Date: 29th* **Episode Description:** Rise and shine, curious minds! Welcome to a brand-new episode of *Wake Up Kids*, the ultimate podcast for kids aged 7 to 9 who love to learn about the world around them. Join host Ticky Tocket as we kick off a magnificent Monday with a sparkling science lesson all about the night sky. Have you ever looked up and wondered what those tiny twinkling dots really are? Ticky reveals the stellar truth: those little lights are actually giant, fiery balls of gas, much bigger than our own Earth! Discover how scientists use giant telescopes to explore the universe and learn the mind-blowing fact that some starlight takes hundreds of years to finally reach our eyes. We’ll also check in with the local weather report for Lindfield (expect a cool morning, a high of 20 degrees, and a few showers today). Finally, we wrap up the episode with an uplifting message to carry with you all week: just like the stars, even if you feel small, you can still shine your own bright light and spread kindness to the world. Tune in, look up, and let your curiosity shine!
