Hello !! I am writing for a lot of reasons , but the most important of all is this : I LOVE your magazine : it is the best one EVER !! It is my opinion that the world will never see a magazine so great . However , what would be EVEN AWESOMER ( is that even a word ?) is if you could do : A ) a cats issue B ) autism issue C ) book issue D ) Romans issue . A ) is because |
I � CATS , B ) because I am autistic and not many people know enough about autism , C ) because I am a MASSIVE bookworm , D ) because Romans is our school topic and I need some help ! My favourite issue would have to be ... UNDERSEA EXPLORER ( it was my first issue )! OK my hand is getting really sore as I have written A LOT ( maybe an email |
would have been better ? It would spare you my horrid handwriting at least ) so I bid you farewell and also au revoir , adios , farvel and auf wiedersehen . Basically good bye !! my horrid h my horrid h my horrid h my horrid h my horrid h my horrid h P . S . I am a leaf sheep ! Kawaii forever !! P . P . S . From Marian , age 11 |

I really liked the Winter Wild issue ( Dec 2022 ), so I decided to do a sketch of the wolf on the cover . I was really proud of it . Everyone in my family really liked it . I hope you like it too . Bye for now .

Hey , AQUIL Anauts , this was just too weird for the magazine !
BEST MANGA
Another thing that interacts with the Earth ’ s magnetic field is the magnificent aurora – the northern and southern lights . The oldest known
record of the northern lights comes from the Bamboo Annals – Ancient Chinese records that were written on bamboo slips , around the year 10,000 BCE . These bamboo records were discovered hidden in a tomb back in 279 CE . When experts finally got around to studying a specific part of the text , they found a description detailing a five-coloured light in the sky .
I SHOULD COCO
I know that everyone says this but I love your magazine . My first issue was Japan ( June 2020 ) and it made me want to visit Japan . I LOVE Japanese food ! My favourite page of the mag is Brainfeeders because the puzzles are really fun to do . My favourite issue so far has been Chocolate ( April 2022 ). The reason for my love of chocolate is when I was little , my brother and I were eating chocolate buttons . I had fewer chocolates than him so I wrote a letter to the company and they sent me a free voucher for more chocolate !!!

[ Hang on though , central China isn ’ t far north enough to see the aurora , how could they have spotted them 12,000 years ago ? Ed ]
An excellent question with a VERY interesting answer . Way back in the 10th century BCE , the Earth ’ s magnetic poles weren ’ t in quite the same place as they are today . In fact , the precise locations of the magnetic poles are always shifting depending on changes that happen inside the Earth ’ s core . Back then , the magnetic north pole was 15 degrees closer to central China , and that meant that the aurora would occasionally have been visible there ! We still don ’ t kseem likely .
The biggest snowflake Talking about uncorroborated sightings of strange atmospheric phenomena , check this out ! During a snowstorm in 1887 , residents of Fort Keogh , Montana claimed to have seen milk-pan sized snowflakes falling from the sky . That would make them about 38 cm in diameter , and that would make them , like , HUMONGOUS ! The biggest snowflakes ever spotted , to be precise . Too bad they were never officially documented because some idiot decided to catch them all in his mouth cameras weren ’ t widely available yet .
The biggest snowflake Are you the sort of person who needs an extra cardigan the minute it drops think t s 21 July 1983 , when temperatures there got down to -89.4 ° C . It ’ s often said that humans can survive in any temperature , as long as they have the ooid tond of freeze .
