Water In Space

A space craft in Japan brought back samples of the asteroid Itokawa. The asteroid was believed to be bone dry because it was so close to the sun and it was created out of the collision of a much larger asteroid. Scientists managed to find traces of water in the asteroid which leads people to wonder if there are other planets that have water on them.

    hmm, well probably, but I hope more research will be done because of the increasing population growth and world climate change.

    This is a very important discovery because it could lead to important research on the possibility of life on other planets. The presence of water is very promising to the search for life.

    WOW! It is fascinating that the asteroid contained water even though it was found near the sun. This is very intriguing because it could signify life somewhere else besides Earth.

    This is very interesting and could change a lot of things considering it was never known before that water was on other planets.

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
