European honeybees are beloved, yet our very own beautiful native bees don't get much attention. It's time to get to know our fuzzy friends a bit better and go on a wild native bee-hunting ride.
Sound sweet?
Jesse and Sarah discuss indecision, a tiny imperilled handfish, Australia's roadmap towards a future in space, and they chat with our researcher Dr Rich Pillans about the seven metre leviathan: the largetooth sawfish.

[Image continues to show the blobs of colour trailing wavy lines behind them moving through the night sky again]
[Image changes to show the purple blob heading towards the world globe and the background changes to a brilliant pink colour]
[Image changes to show the blobs of colour trailing wavy lines moving across the screen again and the screen and the screen shows a pink and blue background flashing by]
[Image continues to show the blobs of colour trailing wavy lines behind them moving through the night sky again]
[Image changes to show the top of the purple blob heading through a galaxy and then towards a bright light which gradually morphs into a world globe showing Australia on its face]

[Image changes to show an aerial view of the ASKAP array and coloured lines can be seen moving from one of the telescopes and feeding down in a straight line to the inside of the buildings at the centre of the ASKAP array]
[Image changes to show the inside of the building at the ASKAP array and banks of computers can be seen either side of a room and coloured lines can be seen travelling along these banks of computers and into a computer screen on a desk at the front of the room]
[Camera zooms in to show a multi coloured curved line on the computer screen at the front of the room and then the camera zooms back out again]
[Images flash through of an aerial view of the ASKAP array buildings, Australia on the globe and the globe in the night sky again]
[Image shows the globe becoming a point of light which gradually disappears amongst the night sky]

A fast radio burst leaves a distant galaxy, travelling to Earth over billions of years and occasionally passing through clouds of gas in its path. Each time a cloud of gas is encountered, the different wavelengths that make up a burst are slowed by different amounts. Timing the arrival of the different wavelengths at a radio telescope tells us how much material the burst has travelled through on its way to Earth and allows astronomers to to detect "missing" matter located in the space between galaxies.
