[laughs] Welcome to CrowdScience on the BBC World Service.

I'm Caroline Steel, and I'm about to feed an animal that could leave me needing a few days off work.

He's called Phoenix.

So you can, um-

This episode of CrowdScience from BBC World Service.

The question was sent by Mohammed in Cameroon through WhatsApp.

The episode was presented by Caroline Steel and produced by Robbie Oja Hoskin.

[gentle music] Hello, I'm Tom Whipple, and this week on Inside Science from the BBC World Service, more news you can use, such as what is the real truth about data centers, water-guzzling climate criminals or noble saviors of the economy? And should the fact that the cleaner as can spot itself in the mirror have any impact on your eating habits? Oh, and Roland Pease explores the weather impacts of an evolving El Niño.

All that, and we have Caroline Steel, who's been looking through the journals for the other big science.

Caroline, what have you got?

I've got the death spiral of my favorite telescope, so it's a sad week for me.
