🔭 Celebrate with your children by creating their very own Jupiter jar: tinyurl.com/sn-jupiter

🌪️ The biggest planet in our solar system is known for the swirly patterns on its surface. These patterns are actually storm clouds, the biggest of which has been observed for 150 years and is bigger than Earth.

🌀 Mixing the ingredients will create swirling patterns that mimic these vast storm clouds. The perfect activity for space-obsessed children!

Our latest is British Paralympic sprinter, surgeon, and ESA - European Space Agency Project astronaut John McFall. 👨‍🚀 🚀

Earlier this year, McFall became the first person with a physical disability to be cleared to go on a mission to the International Space Station. He told us the one thing he is most looking forward to about being in space. "The main reason why I would want to go there is because I think it would offer the most fantastic view of Earth," he said.

📖 Read more about him in the latest issue of the magazine.

This weekend's biggest showdown (in nature) is Fat Bear Week! 🐻

Every autumn, Alaska's brown bears bulk up for winter – some even double their weight before hibernation. Katmai National Park marks the occasion with a competition to crown the chunkiest bear of them all.

Tune into the live webcam, meet the bears, and vote for your favourites every day at 5pm, until Tuesday 30 September.

Making sense of the universe

Science+Nature is a brand new magazine packed with all the incredible information, amazing images and must-know facts that you would expect from the team behind The Week Junior — with extra wonder and marvels!

Edited by the award-winning writer Dan Green (author of the best-selling Basher Science books), each issue of this 60-page monthly magazine is designed to ignite curiosity, inspire exploration and stimulate a passion for knowledge in 8- to 15-year-olds. Every issue is jam-packed with wonder; taking readers on a voyage of discovery, from the depths of the oceans to the outer reaches of the cosmos, and from the days of the dinosaurs to our high-tech future. The eight-page The Lab section features hands-on experiments and step-by-step activities, as well as a monthly guide to the night sky for young stargazers.

And, if that isn’t enough already... every issue comes with a GIANT double-sided poster to pull out and stick up.
