S.P.A.R.K. is a drone built by the Space Pigs to find Eggs in the Flock's solar system. With no success, it was driven off from Earth and then destroyed on Pluto, along with its creators being left to freeze in space.

Appearance

S.P.A.R.K. is a metallic egg-shaped drone with a small red light, broken wire on its top, and speaker. Yellow accents surround the aforementioned parts. It is also held together by bolts. In Angry Birds Reloaded, the broken wire seems to resemble a weirdly designed fuse. Its reskin in Danger Zone is round, has a pig snout and several Hertz horns, all of which are painted red.

Overview

S.P.A.R.K. appears in every level of the Solar System episode in Angry Birds Space and acts as a bomb; if any object collides with it, its light will flash for a while and then explodes, showing trivia about the planet or spacecraft at the bottom right of the screen. The explosion is weak in its destructive capabilities, but it can push anything in its radius by a significant distance. S.P.A.R.K. will not activate if pushed back without directly colliding, such as the knockback of TNT or Space Eagle.

All of the information collected can be reviewed by pressing the S.P.A.R.K button on the level select. The maximum of facts to be collected is 5 for each of the 15 levels.

In Angry Birds Reloaded, S.P.A.R.K.'s tidbits are completely absent, and merely explodes. It is brought back in Danger Zone's final level, being repainted as a mine that appears in Phase 1 and Phase 5.

All Possible Tidbits

• Mercury
• Venus
• Earth
• Moon
• Mars
• Asteroid Belt
• Jupiter
• Europa
• Saturn
• Uranus
• Neptune
• Comet
• Pluto
• ISS
• New Horizons

• The temperatures on Mercury vary widely, from a deep freeze to searing heat
• Mercury has wrinkles that are hundreds of kilometers long
• Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and closest to the Sun
• Like Earth, Mercury has a magnetic field, but Mars and Venus do not
• There are regions on Mercury that are never heated by the Sun

Venus is the hottest planet in our Solar System

Venus is just slightly smaller than Earth

Venus is the brightest planet in the Solar System and is visible in the daytime sky

Venus is covered by clouds and has extremely corrosive acid rain

The pressure on Venus is the same as going one kilometer under the ocean

Earth is the only place known to have life

70 Percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water

Without plate tectonics, Earth would overheat

If the sun were as big as a typical front door, Earth would be the size of a nickel

Earth has a powerful magnetic field. It protects us from effects of solar winds

The first person to walk on the Moon was Neil Armstrong

Astronauts might return to the Moon to build a permanent Space Station

There is no sound on the Moon because it has no atmosphere

The rise and fall of the tides on Earth is caused by the Moon

On the moon, a grown man weighs as much as a three-year-old child does on Earth

Phobos and Deimos, the moons of Mars, are shaped roughly like potatoes

On Mars, there is water in ice form underneath its surface

On Mars, the Sun appears about half the size as it does on Earth

Mars has the biggest mountain in our Solar System called Olympus Mons

Currently, Mars' surface cannot support life as we know it

The Asteroid Belt contains billions and billions of asteroids

Asteroids are small, airless, rocky objects that are too small to be called planets

Most asteroids lie in a vast ring between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter

Ceres, once thought as just as asteroid, is now considered a dwarf planet

All the asteroids combined would form a ball smaller than the Moon

Gravity on Jupiter is approximately two and a half times the gravity on Earth

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is a huge storm and has been there for almost 350 years

A day on Jupiter is only 9 hours an 55 minutes long

Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, is larger than Mercury

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet in the Solar System

There's more water on Europa than there is on Earth

Europa is an ice-covered moon that orbits Jupiter

One day on Europa is about 3.5 Earth days

Europa has an extremely thin oxygen atmosphere - far too thin to breathe

Europa is one of the most likely places in our system to find life due to its oceans

Saturn's rings are made mostly of chunks of ice

Saturn's surface is less dense than water. We could probably swim on it!

Saturn is so massive it could hold more than 760 Earths.

Saturn has 53 moons and smaller moonlets - all of them frozen

Astronomers consider Saturn's moon, Titan, to be a possible harbour of life

Uranus rotates horizontally, which means it spins on its side.

Uranus was the first planet discovered with the aid of a telescope in 1781

Uranus is one of the ice giants and has 27 known moons

Uranus makes one trip around the Sun every 84 Earth years

Astronomers believe that Uranus' rotation was caused by colliding with a large body

Neptune's surface is like jelly. Rather than stand on it, we would sink into it

The winds on Neptune are four times stronger than any hurricane detected on Earth

Neptune has only been visited once - by Voyager 2 in 1989

The coldest place in the Solar System is the surface of Neptune's moon, Triton. Brrr

Neptune was discovered by mathematical predictions rather than observation

The tail of a comet always points away from the sun

Comets come from two places: The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud

We can only see Halley's Comet every 76 years. Try not to miss it next time!

As a comet gets close to the sun, it loses mass and eventually breaks up

Comet orbits are usually elliptical

Pluto is smaller than Earth's moon

The gravity field of Pluto's moon Charon affects its orbit - it is a binary system

An eleven year old schoolgirl from Oxford, gave Pluto its name

Pluto was reclassified from a planet to a dwarf planet in 2006

Pluto has an atmosphere when closer to the sun. When farther away, it freezes

The International Space Station (ISS): A laboratory, observatory and factory in space

The ISS is a space port for possible future missions to the Moon, Mars and beyond

The space station spans an area the size of a football field

A satellite is an object or body that orbits, or revolves, around another object

There have been 180 people aboard the ISS

New Horizons will study Pluto and its moons for five months starting in summer 2015

New Horizons is 100 times faster than a jetliner

Eventually New Horizons will head into the Kuiper Belt to examine icy mini-worlds

Going to Pluto is almost equal to 32 trips between the Earth and the Sun

New Horizons will use Pluto's gravity to give it a speed boost to the Kuiper Belt
