Nasa ready to launch mars rover

The NASA was about to launch a space cart to Mars to explore it, how does it look like and to see some interesting clues (if there are going to be some). About eight and a half months later, the space cart has landed on Mars. When the space cart opened the camera, the camera has shown a view of Mars to the science lab. Mars looked like our planet because there were canyons lands and mountains. But after some hours later, the space cart has detected some living forms moving around. The space cart took a picture of one living form that it has spottet but the picture was smudged because the living creature moved too fast. Even scientists couldn't tell what the creature was even by scaning the picture of it. Finally, the space cart took some samples of mars and then blasted off back to Earth. And then the mayor congratulated the scientists.

My first thought about this article was that it was interesting and at first I didn't belive that there was a living creature on Mars. But there was also a video of the space cart how it was getting out of a shuttle and then deployed to Mars. But the article was very good and it was my favorite one to chose and write about it.  

Robots attempt record breaking Pacific ocean voyage

Some US scientists have sent four robots to the Pacific ocean to study the ocean's health if it's healthy or not because they heard that something is wrong with the ocean. The scientists got the robots on a boat and attached an antena scanner under the boat. When the robots got to the Pacific ocean, they activated the antena scanner. After the scanner had scanned the ocean, back at the research lab the scientists have found on the picture that the scanner has detected some black stuff floating around and some bacteria that killed a few of water animals. Then the scientists got on another boat and went to the Pacific ocean. When they got there, they took out a bag and dumped out some white radioactive powder wich kills all the backteria in the water and not the sea animals. And so after that happened, the scientists and the robots got back home and started looking for more oceans that are not healthy.

My first thought about this article was that its was really interesting and I never heard of an invention that can scan bacteria under the water. I actually love articles that contain technology stuff in them and also robots because those are my favorite future designs. I have seen also other articles that were also good but I chose this one because it is my favorite.

Squid and octopus switch on camouflage

Squids and octopuses use their adaptable camouflage to cope with changing light conditions in deep sea oceans. Scientist have brought one squid and one octopus to test them. When they started shining lights on them, the squid and the octopus started doing some strange moves and they started shaking their heads. After the test, the squid and the octopus started acting blind but they were not. They were only dizzy because the scientist shined the light on them too much. But one day when the scientist went to check on the squid and the octopus, they saw thay they were shining light from a unknown part of their body. When the scientists scaned them, they figured out that the light they used on the squid and the octopus went to their eyes and their heads and they got the ability to shine light in the ocean when it's dark. So when the scientists let squid and the octopus free to the sea, they saw at night bright light shining in the sea.

My first though about this article was that I didn't know that squids and octopuses can use light. This article was very interesting and I have learned a new thing from the squids and octopuses. This article was on a nature news channel and there was also a video of how the scientist are shining light at the squid and the octopus.

Hummingbirds shake their heads to deal with rain

Hummingbirds have the fastest movement of their wings. But there is also something else that hummingbirds can do: when rain begins to fall and their heads are completly wet, all the hummingbirds shake their heads to avoid the rain and get the water off because scientists said that if they don't shake their heads, the rain could get to their eyes and they wouldn't see. But if the hummingbirds shake their heads, they will be safe. Some scientists that didn't know what would happen if the hummingbirds didn't shake their heads brought some of the humming birds to their lab and they tested them. But all of the humming birds were always ready when they set on the water everytime. So not only hummingbirds are very fast by moving their wings but also smart when the rain comes so the hmmingbirds could shake their heads.

My first thought about this article was that it was interesting. I never actually knew that hummingbirds shake their heads when it rains. But there was also a video in the website of a hummingbird that shook its head when rain began to fall.
But I don't know what place are the hummingbirds in the smartest animals in the world. So please send me a message on gmail if you know the answer to my question.

Real-life jedi: Pushing limits of mind controls

Scientists have created a new technology design that can control elecronic things and it's a jedi helmet. A man has tested this design on a woman and she started controling different things like a cube in the computer that you move with your mind and a electronic car that you also control with your mind. That device has something that made all these things control by something. These things were also on sale and the people that sold these things said that you can use these things to help you with hard work that you cannot fix. But also pilots use these things to control the plane or guns. But some people got almost killed because when they were using some sharp things, they were thinking about something else and they almost died. So some people don't buy these things because they are afraid that they will get hurt and other people said that those things ruined their children's lives because that already happened to three of them. But the scientists also say that the device can also read peoples' minds! Most people didn't believe it but when they bought them, then they believed it.

My first thought was that this mind control gadget was helpful and fun but then when I read the summary where some people got almost killed, I didnt think that it was useful anymore so Im never going to buy one of those things in my life because I know whats going to happen to my future and I'm not going to be happy about it.

In conclusion, I picked this topic because it is interesting and it is the first time I ever hear about a new technology design that I never heard of.
