Tuesday's launch was successful, but the plan to send the Mangalyaan, or "Mars craft," on a 680 million-kilometer journey into Mars' orbit is raising some suspicion. People have begun to believe that there may be a space race in development for Asia.

"We're selling rubber band bracelets to raise money for Angels' Park, and we're going to plant flowers there," said Hannah Cary. All the girls were classmates with Elizabeth Collins.

This year, the girls decided to sell jewelry to raise money to plant pink and purple flowers at Angels' Park, which is a memorial at Meyers Lake in Evansdale in honor of Elizabeth Collins and Lyric Cook. The girls sold the jewelry at parent-teacher conferences and got great feedback. The items range from five cents to five dollars. Their goal was originally 100 dollars but now it is 500 dollars. Emma, Hanna, Linkin and Willow said they plan to do something every year to remember Elizabeth and Lyric.

Paul McCarthy was looking for an inexpensive but functional prosthetic hand for his son Leon. Leon was born without fingers on his left hand. Paul found a video online about a prosthetic hand that anyone could make with a 3-D printer, based on a design by Washington state inventor Ivan Owen. Now Leon proudly calls himself a cyborg as he shows off his functioning robotic hand. The coolest part: It didn't even cost that much. After spending around $2000 on the printer, materials only cost about $10 — much less than the tens of thousands a prosthesis would cost.

Is India's Mars mission the latest escalation in Asia's space race?
ReplyDeleteA successful mission by India's Mars orbiter would make the country the first Asian nation to reach the Red Planet . Tuesday's launch was successful, but the plan to send the Mangalyaan, or "Mars craft," on a 680 million-kilometer journey into Mars' orbit is raising some suspicion. People have begun to believe that there may be a space race in development for Asia. Koppillil Radhakrishnan, the head of India's Space Research Organization, has reassured people his country is not going to be involved in competition with any other nation. India chose Mars, because they plan to improve its telecommunications infrastructure and environmental monitoring with satellites. A communications system could give an advance warning of a cyclone. While most people believe that this is the reason India is going, many people say they just want to be a part of the "space group". The only people that have sent spacecraft to Mars are the U.S., Europe and the Soviets. Will India join us on the list?

Despite the near death experience, Buddy only had a bruise over his eye, and some scrapes on his legs.

Astronomers have spotted a never-before-seen phenomenon in our solar system's asteroid belt: a space rock with six tails, spewing dust from its nucleus like spouts of water radiating from a lawn sprinkler. Scientists using the Pan-STARRS 1 telescope at the summit of Maui's Haleakala volcano in Hawaii first detected the six-tailed asteroid in August. They dubbed it P/2013 P5 and noted that it looked fuzzier than typical asteroids, which usually appear as tiny points of light. More detailed observations with the powerful Hubble Space Telescope in September revealed a clearer picture of asteroid, showing it had six comet-like tails.
