You might’ve heard of measles in school or from adults but recently there has been an uptick of cases in the country because it can be highly contagious. We explain what kind of infection the measles is and how to protect yourself from getting sick. Then, we talk about a historic mission -- the first U.S. moon landing in more than 50 years. And, it’s a leap year! We explain what a leap year is and why February 29th only shows up on the calendar every four years.
