       The chances that future generations will one day colonize the stars have just got higher. Astronomers tonight announced the discovery of the most Earth-like planet ever found - a rocky world three times the size of our own world, orbiting a star 20 light years away..
        The planet lies in the star's 'Goldilocks zone' - the region in space where conditions are neither too hot nor too cold for liquid water to form oceans, lakes and rivers.
        The planet also appears to have an atmosphere, gravity like our own and could well be capable of life.
        The discovery comes three years after astronomers found a similar, slightly less habitable planet around the same star.

        It takes just 37 days to orbit its sun which means its seasons last for just a few days. This planet doesn't have days and nights. Wherever you are on this planet, the sun is in the same position all the time. You have very stable zones where the ecosystem stays the same temperature... basically forever.

        This planet has not been given a proper name. It is so far away, spaceships traveling close to the speed of light would take 20 years to make the journey. If a rocket was one day able to travel at a tenth of the speed of light, it would take 200 years to make the journey.

Falling Down When Pregnant, Mariah Carey Uses Wheelchair

 

A singer, Mariah Carey who is pregnant of the fifth month, looks using wheelchair when arriving in Los Angeles International Airport, US, on Tuesday (28/9/10).

When having a show in Singapore on Sunday (26/9/10), actually she should use special shoes for pregnant ladies. Because she didn’t have it, so she just used her high heels shoes.

She fell in sitting position on the stage. Fortunately, some of her background dancers immediately help her to stand up.
