Japan Brings Back Unique Asteroid Samples

Posted on by Carmen Roberts

Japanese spacecraft delivers asteroid dust from 180 million miles away in space.

Hayabusa2 Swings by Earth to Deliver Asteroid Samples

After spending 6 years in space, Japan’s Hayabusa2 spacecraft swung by Earth and delivered precious samples from a distant asteroid. Pieces of dust and soil that could provide clues to the origin of the solar system and life on Earth. On board a capsule launched from the spacecraft are the world’s first subsurface samples from an asteroid. These came from Ryugu about 180-million miles and one year away. Hayabusa2’s work won’t end today. The spacecraft’s already on its way to another distant asteroid. A journey that will take 10 years – one way. Carmen Roberts Fox News.

Global Warming ‘Point of No Return’

Posted on by Carmen Roberts

A scientific study produces what may be alarming news about global warming.

Polar bears have less ice for hunting as temperatures rise.

The authors of the study say, “The world is already past a point of no return for global warming,” that even if human-caused greenhouse gas emissions could be reduced to zero temperatures may continue to rise for centuries. The study published in the British journal, Scientific Reports, says the only way to stop global warming now is to extract enormous amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Several other climate scientists are criticizing the study though, and the authors admit their computer model study is small, so they hope others will use bigger ones to explore their discoveries.

Baby shark. Doo doo doo …

The song, recorded by the company Pingfong in South Korea, has netted more than 7 billion views. The BBC calculated all those views and says if you put them end to end they would stretch for more than 30-thousand years!

It’s enough to make any parent…

Run away. Doo doo doo …

And before you think…

It’s the end. Doo doo doo …

It’s not. Baby Shark is set to launch a TV show next year.
