A NASA spacecraft orbiting Mars has spotted a new crater on the planet that is believed to have been caused by a huge meteorite.

It's raining diamonds on Jupiter

November 5, 2013

Huge diamonds could be raining down on Saturn and Jupiter, US scientists have calculated.

New data for the two huge gas planets indicate that carbon is abundant in its dazzling crystal form.

The scientist believe that lightning storms turn methane into soot (carbon) which turn into diamonds as it falls and harden.

But dont think there are diamonds just on the surface of the planet as these diamond “hail stones” eventually melt into a liquid sea on the surface.

The biggest diamonds would likely be about a centimetre in diameter and about 1,000 tonnes of diamonds a year are being created on Saturn

zambia bans the hunting big cats

Zambia bans the hunting of big cats

January 12, 2013

Zambia has banned the hunting of lions and leopards because of a drop in the numbers of its big cats.

Until now, people in the southern African country could hunt the animals for sport.

But Zambia’s tourism minister Sylvia Masebo said there are no longer enough cats for hunting purposes.

“Tourists come to Zambia to see the lion and if we lose the lion, we will be killing our tourism industry,” she said.

Lions are found in all of Zambia’s major parks, but their numbers are going down, with fewer than 4,500 lions in the whole country.

The number of leopards is unknown.

Neighbouring Botswana is also banning all sport hunting from 2014, while Kenya stopped hunting for sport decades ago.

Giant panda walks around the streets at china

A giant panda has surprised and delighted residents of a town in China when she went for a stroll down the main street.

Zhen Zhen, an 11-year-old panda was raised in captivity but recently released into the wild. She was then seen roaming down the main road, probably in search of food.

She strolled beside a vegetable garden, trotted across a dirt road and climbed a tree, seemingly unfazed by the attention of a large group of onlookers.

Researchers at the China Conservation and Research Centre for the Giant Panda confirmed the animal was Zhen Zhen – meaning Precious.

Born in 2007 at the San Diego Zoo in the US, she was sent to China in 2010 and released, with a tracking collar, as part of a research project.

After allowing her several hours to explore, the experts sedated and returned her to the Wolong Shenshuping Panda Base, which is part of the world’s largest breeding centre for giant pandas.
