[www.keralites.net] Dog Joins 155-Mile Race With A Stranger Turned Lifetime Friend!

 

Energetic Stray Dog Joins 155-Mile Race With A Stranger Turned Lifetime Friend!
There's no such thing as bad timing or unfavorable circumstances to adopt a dog – it's all just a matter of heart, and Gobi, a tiny stray pup from China, is living proof of that. The pooch found her human in the midst of the 155-mile 4 Deserts Gobi March 2016, a grueling marathon held on China's largest desert this June. The pup jumped right into the race to win the heart of her favorite runner Dion Leonard, a very competitive athlete from Scotland.

"On Day 2, I was at the start line for the race stage and she was standing next to me looking up at me," Leonard told The Dodo. "I thought to myself this little dog isn't going to last very long at my side as we raced off, but she ended up running the whole day and 23 miles distance." When the pup wasn't allowed to participate because of extreme weather conditions, the organizers would give her a lift so she could be with Leonard. On the final day, the two crossed the finish line together. Now Leonard is determined to adopt the pup in spite of all the bureaucratic and financial issues he has to deal with to move the pooch from China to Scotland. "Gobi picked me to be her pal for life, so I am doing what I can with some great support from around the word to make this happen," said Leonard.

[www.keralites.net] Scientists Discover New Earth-Like Planet With A High Possibility Of Alien Life!

 

Scientists Discover New Earth-Like Planet With A High Possibility Of Alien Life!

2016 seems like a good year for space expeditions. With finding new stars and exploring our milky way, the scientists at ESO (European Southern Observatory) found a new earth, slightly bigger than ours that sits about four light years away, orbiting Proxima Centauri-- the star nearest to our solar system.

Proxima b, as the planet has been named, is far closer to Proxima Centauri than Earth is to our Sun, taking just 11 days to complete an orbit. But the red parent star is cooler than our Sun meaning Proxima b is in fact within our habitable zone. 

However, Proxima b doesn't come absolutely clean for humanity to harbour life there. Ultraviolet rays and X-rays are blasted at the planet by its star which seems like a big hurdle as of now. Scientists are planning to figure out a way to send a robotic probe to the planet in order to see if it fits our needs.

Using the current technology that we have, it can nearly take 76,000 years for us to get to our nearest star. Nevertheless, "light-sail" technology, which is currently under development, can take us there in about 25 years.

"It is the closest possible planet to us and may be the closest to support life outside the solar system." said Dr Mikko Tuomi.

This is perhaps a very crucial discovery for the entire mankind. It can help us in finding the answer to the most important questions of all time—whether or not we're alone here. Many people firmly believe that there are aliens out there and it's about time that we figure that out. Thus, every effort in finding this planet or any other star for that matter is done to look for new evidence of life.


Proxima Centauri is part of a triple system of stars in the constellation of Centaurus. It is the faintest of the three, which also include a much brighter pair of stars known as Alpha Centauri A and B. From Earth, the system appears as a single bright star – the third brightest visible in the night sky.
