In a statement, the California Institute of TechnologyCaltechsaid this planet travels a very strange “long and thin orbit in the distant solar system.“ The discovery was made by two researchers at Caltech:

12、Konstantin Batygin and Mike Brown. They used mathematical modeling and computer simulations (模拟) to find the planet. So far, there have not been any direct observations of the planet. “My jaw hit the floor,“ said astronomer (宇航员) Mike Brown, the moment he realized there might be a ninth planet. The

13、scientists said it would take this planet 10,000 to 20,000 years just to make one full orbit around the Sun. The new planet, called “Planet Nine“, has a mass about 10 times the size of Earth.

30、l! From the food to the stalls (货摊), everything was as environmentally friendly as possible.

31、ter the festival, were sorted so all of the waste could be recycled appropriately.

I found the experience incredibly fun but also really

32、interesting. Having never been to a music festival before, I was unsure of what to expect. However, I was happy to find myself sitting in a field eating a healthy, home-made fruit cake while drinking organic fruit juice. There were many stalls, art installations, and different areas, meaning there w

33、as something there for everyone, from small children to the elderly!

38、cent morning, when his mother was driving him to school. Their ear was damaged as it went over a huge pothole in the middle of the street in their hometown of Jackson, Mississippi. “I decided I was going to do something about the pothole problem in my city,“ said Chokwe. His solution: an app that wa

39、rns drivers when there is a pothole ahead. Chokwe developed the app with his friends. “When the app detects a pothole, it is highlighted in red,“ Chokwe says. “And if you get close to the pothole, your phone will warn you with a beep.“ Drivers can also use the app to report any potholes they encount

The app remains limited to 10 streets in Jackson, but he hopes to add more, so that it includes every street in the city.
