Imagine neighbours who just can't get along! Israel and Hezbollah have been arguing for years, but lately, things have gotten even more dangerous. Rockets are flying back and forth, and it's forcing families to flee. Fingers crossed, they find a peaceful way to calm things down!

Mount Everest, already the tallest mountain in the world, is still growing! It rises about 2 millimetres every year. That might not sound like much, but scientists are amazed.

Over 6,500 Kiwis just reclaimed the world record for the biggest Haka! This powerful Māori dance pumped up the pride of New Zealand at Eden Park. Take that, France—this record belongs to the Land of the Long White Cloud!

Global chocolate meltdown; Brisbane Lions big win; Ancient mummy in cheese necklace; and here comes the mini-Moon. Sep 29, 2024

Looks like your favourite holiday treat might be harder to find this year! Bad weather in Africa is making it tough for cocoa trees to grow, which means less chocolate for everyone.

Imagine finding a mummy from 3,600 years ago wearing a necklace—made of cheese! That's right, archaeologists in China made this discovery, and it’s definitely not your average jewelry!

AFL fans in Brisbane are going wild after their Lions thumped the Sydney Swans with a massive 120-60 win. Will Ashcroft, just 20 years old, was the star of the match, winning the best on-ground award.

The Moon has company! A small asteroid, just 11 meters wide, is zooming around Earth for the next two months. It won’t be easy to spot, but it’s cool to know our Moon has a little space buddy nearby—at least for a little while!
