Episode description

A large asteroid - bigger than any building on the planet - is passing by Earth today. 7482 or 1994 PC1 will travel past 1.2 million miles away at a speed of 43,754 miles per hour. US airlines have warned that 5G could ground planes and cause chaos over the coming days when AT&T and Verizon deploy their new 5G service. Five million volunteers are being sought for the UK’s largest ever health research project called ‘ Our Future Health’, a Tesla has travelled 750 miles on a single charge thanks to a new breakthrough battery and Covid-19 may be turning children into fussy eaters.

Plus, the Natural History Museum digitises five million specimens, a new planet is discovered by ‘citizen scientists’ and could we be one step closer to a four-day working week?
