Why everyone is talking about two astronauts

You’ve likely seen the news that astronauts Sunita Williams and Barry Wilmore have arrived back on earth after an unplanned nine months at the International Space Station.

The capsule carrying the astronauts splashed down off the Florida coast yesterday, surrounded by dolphins on a beautiful sunny day.

It was an extraordinary ending to a saga that has captured the world’s attention.

Today we’re going to take you back to why the astronauts were in space for so long in the first place, and what happens now that they are back on earth.
