Saving Timmy the whale; Japan’s big bear problem; Fiji’s cyclone-predicting bees; and Baby Yoda’s big debut.

A humpback whale named Timmy got stuck near Germany—uh oh! But a team of helpers dug a channel and used a giant floating barge to guide him back to sea.

In Japan, bears are waking up from winter naps—and heading closer to towns! People are carrying bells to stay safe, while hoping there’s enough food in the forests to keep the bears happy (and away from humans).

In this From The Vault episode, we rewind to uncover the real history behind the galaxy far, far away — exploring how events like the Vietnam War, ancient Rome, and even medieval knights helped shape the story.

From the rise of powerful empires to the rebels who fight against them, you’ll discover how real-world history inspired one of the most famous movie sagas ever made.

So, whether you’re a Jedi master or brand new to Star Wars… get ready to see it in a whole new way.

In this week’s Science Short, we explore how cats pull off this incredible trick without pushing off anything at all. It’s all thanks to something called the air-righting reflex, and a clever two-step twist that lets them rotate their bodies in mid-air.

It’s not magic. It’s not luck.

It’s physics… with a furry twist.

A fun kids vs adults news quiz to test who’s been paying the most attention to the week in news.
