SLEEPY KOALAS Koalas don’t sleep up to 18 hours a day because they’ve stayed up too late watching SpongeBob. The mammal nicknamed “sleepiest marsupial” snoozes so much to conserve energy. All living things need food for fuel, but koalas eat only leaves that are low in nutrition. By snoozing a lot, koalas conserve energy, which maximizes the nutrition in the leaves. GIANT LOLLIPOP How many regular-size suckers could the largest lollipop on record make? More than 145,000!

FRANKENSTEIN MOON Your spacecraft is hovering near Uranus, the seventh planet from our sun. You’re searching for Miranda, one of its 27 moons. Scarred by huge canyons and craters, it’s easy to spot. Some scientists have referred to the moon as Frankenstein’s monster—a mishmash of parts that don’t quite fit together. You touch down on Miranda’s craggy surface and step out of your spacecraft. To test out the gravity, you take a hop—and go flying 150 feet into the air. That’s because Miranda’s gravity is about a hundred times weaker than Earth’s. A few more big bounces take you to the brink of a giant bluff. Named Verona Rupes, this 10-mile-tall cliff is the highest in the solar system. Miranda’s low gravity lets you do something that would be too…
“We all have what it takes to be an explorer. Our intelligence shows us how to explore, but our hearts tell us what to explore.” “I had just arrived at the summit of South America’s Mount Llullaillaco. Bordering Chile and Argentina, it’s the highest archaeological site in the world. Suddenly our team made an amazing discovery: the frozen mummies of three children from the Inca Empire, a powerful civilization that ruled parts of South America during the 15th and 16th centuries. The mummies are considered to be some of the best preserved ever found. We had to be extremely cautious while studying them since the 22,000-foot-high elevation forced us to cope with low oxygen levels, unbelievably strong winds, and rapidly approaching snowstorms and lightning. “High-altitude archaeologists…
