Mars has a mysterious object, seeing which some think the Red Planet has a mouse problem.

Recently, NASA’s Mars Curiosity rover captured a picture from the planet. Enhancing the image on his YouTube page, amateur astronomer Joe White noted that the object looked like a ‘possible quite huge mouse or other rodent’.

However, White has also admitted that the object is, ‘probably an optical illusion’. NASA’s Curiosity rover has been studying mars for over 3 years and trying to find out whether the planet can support life.

The huge ‘mouse’ on the Red Planet isn’t a mouse, a cat or a baby lion, instead is a rock or rocks that look like a rodent. We have a lot of rocks on Earth that form different stuff, and each one is sculpted by nature.

A dolphin calf that was saved after being stranded in upper Elkhorn Slough has been euthanized by veterinarians. The Sausalito-based Marine Mammal Center spokeswoman said that on Saturday, the health of the pre-weaned dolphin was getting deteriorated after being taken away from its mother.

Laura Sherr mentioned that veterinarians after consulting the National Marine Fisheries Services have reached a conclusion that the young dolphin couldn't survive in the wild on its own, so they took the most humane option and decided to euthanize the animal.

World leaders have arrived at Paris to take part in the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference and decide how to tackle global warming. It is believed that a topic ‘two degrees Celsius’ will be discussed in this week’s climate change talks in Paris.

A number of climate scientists have experts argued that a rise of two degrees Celsius in earth’s global air temperature will be catastrophic for all living beings. But many other researchers think the rise of two degrees Celsius is result of weak studies. They are convinced that the climate change is real, but the two degrees is an impractical spur to policy action.

Effects of climate change can be seen everywhere. The change in the statistical distribution of weather patterns is not only forcing wild animals to look for new habitats, but is also influencing humans to leave their current places. Recently, an increase has been noticed in refugees in Arkansas. The growing population of refugees has been linked to climate change.

Due to the change in climate, last year, a native of the Marshall Islands, Valentino Keimbar, travelled thousands of miles from his place in the Pacific Ocean to Springdale. About 70,000 people in Marshall Islands, which is a place six feet above sea level between Hawaii and Australia, are living in tough weather conditions.

International scientists have created robots of various types, from wheeled robots to animal-shaped ones. But, now their focus is to create a robot that could substitute humans in dangerous scenarios and integrate in a world that accommodates human-shaped bodies. Now, scientists have created a humanoid robot that has many advantages over previous robots.

University of Pisa and the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia scientists claimed that they have created a humanoid robot capable of operating human tools. One of the most amazing things of the robot is that it can interact with its environment like a human. The scientists said their new robot, Walk-Man, can be effective in conditions where it is difficult for humans to venture.

About 100 years ago, German-born theoretical physicist Albert Einstein developed general theory of relativity, which is considered as one of the strong pillars of modern physics. The scientific community has been celebrating 100 years of the breakthrough that rewrites the gravity. A century has passed, but quantum gravity is still a mystery for physicists.

Einstein published some papers on photoelectric effect in 1905. In November, 1915, the theorist completed the general theory of relativity, which tells about the universe and planetary orbits around the sun. It explains the working of gravitational forces. For his work on the photoelectric effect, Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921.
