(Nov.6) The Hubble Space Telescope spots a friendly formation in space. Fox’s Carmen Roberts explains.

You might call it an emoji in space. NASA unveils a photo taken by the Hubble Space Telescope that clearly looks like a smiley face. The giant telescope was hunting for newborn stars when it took a captured a cluster of galaxies. One of them swish-shaped like a mouth, directly under two yellow-blobs for eyes. NASA explained the sweeping arc of light that forms the mouth is galaxy light that passed near a massive object en route to earth causing it to distort and stretch out of shape. You can see the smiley face in space on NASA’s website and social media. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.

Ashes in Strange Places

(Oct 25) There’s something sort of creepy going on at Disney World. Fox’s Carmen Roberts explains.

Visitors usually go to a Disney theme park for fun but some have a secret reason. It’s a favorite spot to scatter a family member’s ashes. The Wall Street Journal reports it happens about once a month at Disney World and Disneyland. That’s when custodians call for a HEPA cleanup and crews move in with an ultrafine vacuum cleaner to sweep up the cremated ashes. People scatter ashes in all kinds of places flower beds on the Pirates of the Caribbean but the most popular place may almost be appropriate – the Haunted Mansion. Carmen Roberts. Fox News.

TAG: Disney would like everyone to know, scattering ashes at the theme parks is strictly prohibited and against the law.
