- COLD SNAP
For most capital cities in Australia, the coldest week of the year hits right about now in mid July. Well, except for places like Darwin, look at that sun. This drop in temperature is all because of something called an Antarctic blast, which means a bunch of cold air is coming up from the Antarctic, as the cold air moves it pushes the warm air into the atmosphere, which then cools down, forms clouds, rain, and if it's cold enough, snow. Victoria, South Australia, Sydney, Brisbane and Tasmania have all felt the chill, with Tasmania even seeing waterfalls freeze solid last week as temperatures plunged well below freezing. But it's not all gloomy. Lots of people are hitting the slopes in Victoria and New South Wales where there are snow flurries that have people feeling very cold. Even those in the Sunshine Coast got excited after being told there's a chance they'll see snow this week, although that hasn't happened just yet. While this week won't be the end of the cold weather, it could be the worst of it.
MBAPPE WELCOME
Real Madrid has officially welcomed Kylian Mbappé in a massive celebration at the club's stadium. Almost 80,000 fans were at the Bernabeu to celebrate the 25-year-old French superstar's arrival. Mbappé gave a press conference in Spanish, saying that he's dreamed about playing for Madrid since he was a kid. He's signed a five year contract with the club, which will now start gearing up for its La Liga campaign.
SPACE KIDS
If you had the chance to meet an Astronaut, what would you ask them? Well, a bunch of kids in Sydney got that opportunity, with Australia's first ever female Astronaut. The moon-walk dance might not be her forte, but ac tual moon-walking might be one day. See, Katherine Bennell-Pegg is Australia's first graduate from the European Space agency after recently wrapping up 13 months of rigorous and quite fun looking training. Australia doesn't have a human space flight program at the moment, making it really tricky for Aussie's to become Astronauts and get up to space, but that's something these kids, and Katherine, hopes will change.
BRAZIL DINO
First up, to Brazil! Where a dinosaur skeleton has been unearthed after heavy rains. The palaeontologist in charge of the dig reckons the fossil is around 233 million years old, making it one of the oldest ever found.
FIRST APPLE COMPUTER
Now to the US, where the very first Apple computer is going up for auction. And it once meant a lot to Apple's co-founders. This is the exact one that sat on Steve Jobs' desk!
FAMOUS TUTOR
And finally, to a Melbourne academic living a double life. Yes, Tamas Wells is a tutor at the University of Melbourne, but in China, he's also a well-known musician! Tamas has toured across China, Japan, Singapore, and even France, performing to crowds of thousands. One of his songs even became so popular that it was once performed on China's version of The Voice.
