This week Jill and Liz are blasting off to the International Space Station to explore how astronauts use the bathroom in zero gravity. Hint: it’s tricky business! Since they’re already in the clouds, they also discover more about thunder and lightning. Can we really measure a storm’s distance by the sound of thunder? Listen and find out! Liz shares a fact of the day about diamonds and Jill recommends an excellent graphic novel. What an adventure!
Join our librarians every other Wednesday as they try to answer your inquisitive questions and see if it’s possible to stump a librarian! Do you have a burning question?
