- Description
- Astronomy fans may be looking to the skies the next couple of nights because the Lyrids meteor shower is set to hit its peak. The amazing sight happens every year and will be particularly visible this year between 21 and 22 April.
It has to be dark to see it properly so people wanting to catch a glimpse will have to stay up late with the time between midnight and 3am in the UK expected to be the best time to take a look.
You don't need a lot of fancy equipment like a telescope, just a clear night with no clouds, warm clothes and some patience. It's important to wrap up warm as you might be sitting still for a long time - don't get cold! Get in a comfy position, perhaps lying back on a chair, so you don't strain your neck, turn off any lights you can and go to the darkest part of the garden. Give your eyes about 20 minutes to adjust to the darkness, then sit back, keep watch and enjoy.

The Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins this week. Ramadan is a very important time in the Islamic calendar, and Muslims all over the world will be preparing to take part.
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims won't eat or drink between dawn and sunset. This is called fasting. Fasting is important during Ramadan as it allows Muslims to devote themselves to their faith and come closer to Allah, or God. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of Islam, which form the basis of how Muslims live their lives. The other pillars are faith, prayer, charity and making the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca.

- Description
- Colour blindness, which is also known as colour vision deficiency (CVD), is a condition where people see colours differently to the majority of people.
It affects approximately one in 12 boys and one in 200 girls worldwide. In the UK, about 4.5 percent of the population, which means about three million people, are colour blind.
The condition can make it really difficult for a person to identify and tell the difference between various colours.
There are several different causes of colour blindness. For most people, the condition is genetic which means it is inherited from one of your parents. Because of the way we inherit our characteristics from our parents, boys are much more likely to get this passed on to them than girls.
Colour blindness can also develop later on in a person's life and it may be caused by certain diseases or illnesses, people getting older and also particular types of medication.

Since then a number of vaccines have been developed to help protect people from the virus. Vaccines work by preparing a person's immune system so it can identify and fight against a particular disease if they're exposed to it.
Nearly half of the UK adult population has had a jab - more than 24 million people. Around 1.6 million people have also had a second dose.
You've been sending in loads of questions, so Ricky put them to Dr Elisabetta Groppelli who is a virologist and global health expert at St George's University of London.

Most are not strong enough to feel, but over the last few weeks there have been more than 30,000 recorded tremors and people living near Grindavik in the south-west of the island say they're being kept awake at night because of them! Scientists in the region say the amount of movement suggests a volcanic eruption is on its way but that it is not expected to be an explosive or dangerous one. Iceland's government says the risk to people and local towns and cities is extremely low, and that they are very well prepared to deal with any possible scenario.

- For more than three years, the cladding crisis has been affecting thousands of families. Across the UK, some kids are living in homes that have been classed as unsafe. There are families who are unable to move and are facing huge bills to fix cladding issues.
"You're supposed to feel safe [at home]" says 10-year-old Dexter, who lives in a one-bedroom flat with his parents.
So how did we get here and whose responsibility is it to solve the problem?
What is cladding and why is it a problem? Cladding is a bit like adding a layer of skin to the outside of a building. It can protect it from the weather, or just improve how it looks. It is a material that has been commonly used by builders when making apartment blocks and high rises.
In some flats, it has also been installed inside to help insulate them and keep them warm. But, some cladding has been found to be highly flammable - meaning it can catch fire easily and burn very quickly.

- The amazing story of a lost pet's long way home, thanks to his microchip! But what is a microchip?
We all love our furry friends, so losing a pet can be tough. One thing which animal charities and pet owners think can help if a cat gets lost, injured or stolen, is if it has a microchip.
The government is considering making it compulsory for all owners to get their cats microchipped when they get them. That means it would be against the law if they don't.
A microchip is a small device, about the size of a grain of rice, that is implanted into the pet typically between their shoulder blades. The procedure is usually painless for the animal.
When a lost pet is found, the microchip can be scanned and it will bring up the owner's details from a database. The vet or agency who have the lost pet will then be able to contact the owners and organise for it to be returned or collected.

- Mollie King and Ricky have a chat about Mollie's Dyslexia diagnosis, and all the ways it has affected her life. Dyslexia is a learning difference which primarily affects reading and writing skills. However it does not only affect these skills. Dyslexia is all about how you process information.
Dyslexic people may have difficulty processing and remembering information they see and hear, which can affect learning. And when we're almost all stuck at home studying, that can cause huge challenges if not managed in the right way.
Mollie King is an ambassador for the British Dyslexia Association. She was diagnosed with dyslexia when she was in primary school.
"I was about 9 years old when I got the diagnosis," she says. "Suddenly everything made sense... I now understood why I found my reading so hard compared to my classmates.

- For lots of children, studying from home using things like laptops, tablet and phones has become a daily part of life. However, some pupils in the UK don't have the same access to technology at home. With schools across the UK closed again, many have raised concerns about what this means for those young people who can't learn so easily online.
At the start of the pandemic around 1.8 million children in the UK did not have access to a laptop, desktop or tablet at home, according to research by Ofcom - an organisation which regulates communication services in the UK including things like TV and radio, as well as mobile phone and internet services.
More than 880,000 children live in a household with only a mobile internet connection, meaning they might only be able to use the internet for a short while each day.

- It's LGBT+ History Month, which is a time to promote the history and celebrate the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. The + is an inclusive symbol to mean 'and others' to include people of all identities. But for some people, having their sexual or gender identity celebrated or accepted hasn't always been easy, and being gay in the UK was once illegal.
For many people it's still very difficult to talk openly about their sexuality because of fear of what people might say or think. However, due to changes in laws and attitudes, life has become much easier for the LGBT+ community - although in some places there is still work to be done.
Newsround spoke to teenagers Lilly, Oliver and Liv and influential LGBT+ figures Michael Cashman, Lady Phyll and Sue Sanders to find out how different it is for a young LGBT+ person to come out now compared to over 25 years ago.

However, some people feel it more often than others and it can have a difficult impact on their lives. Celebrities like Zayn Malik and Selena Gomez have spoken about how they have struggled with anxiety.
Feeling anxious can be triggered by many different things. It depends what sort of things make you feel nervous, uneasy or frightened, as nobody is the same.
Daily events like visiting the dentist or taking a test at school might make you feel a bit anxious or stressed. You might also feel worried about something you've seen in the news.

- With same-sex marriage now legal in all parts of the UK, it can sometime be easy to forget how different attitudes to homosexuality were in the past, and how much change has taken place over the past 50 years.
For hundreds of years gay people have struggled to be accepted and treated the same as people who are not gay. In fact it wasn't until 1967, that two men were able to be in a relationship together without the fear of being arrested, and it was only through the actions of campaigners over many years that things changed.
February is LGBT History Month, so we asked some young people from today's generation to speak to some older people about how they fought for their rights, and how things have changed.
LGBT+ stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. The + is an inclusive symbol to mean 'and others' to include people of all identities.

- The military in Myanmar has seized control of the country and declared a year-long state of emergency. The country's current leader Aung San Suu Kyi - who won an official and fair election - has been removed from power and arrested and now the army troops are patrolling the streets and a night-time curfew is in force.
The UK and US, as well as the United Nations, have criticised and opposed the military seizing power. In a statement, Aung San Suu Kyi urged her supporters to "not accept this" and "protest against the coup".
What is a 'coup'?
This is when people illegally take action to overthrow the government of a country - and often use violence or threats to make it happen. They normally do this because they are not happy with how the country is run and want to take power themselves. Coup comes from the French phrase coup d'état which means: a strike against the state.

Veganuary was created in 2014 by a couple in America to encourage people to try out veganism, learn more about the lifestyle and movement.
But what exactly is a vegan? A vegan is someone who doesn't eat or use animal products. Unlike a vegetarian diet - where people don't eat meat or fish - a vegan diet avoids all animal products like dairy, eggs and even honey, as well as meat and fish. Some people prefer to call this way of eating 'a plant-based diet'.
