What if there is life on Mars? How would the public react? Would we, the earthlings, able to handle such an extraterrestrial concept? NASA chief scientist Jim Green doesn’t think so. “It will be revolutionary,” Green told the Telegraph. “It will start a whole new line of thinking. I don’t think we’re prepared for the results. We’re not.” The agency’s  Mars 2020 rover , set to launch next summer, will be the first to collect samples of Martian material to send back to Earth. But if scientists discover biosignatures of life in Mars’ crust, the findings could majorly rock astrobiology, said Green, the director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA. “What happens next is a whole new set of scientific questions,” he said. “Is that life like us? How are we related?” The Mars 2020 rover, along with the European Space Agency’s ExoMars rover, will drill into the Martian crust. The surface of the Red Planet is believed to be radioactive, so if ther...

Apparently, Japan’s Tokyo Electric Power will dump radioactive water from its destroyed Fukushima nuclear power plant into the Pacific Ocean as it runs out of room to store it, the environment minister said on Tuesday. Tokyo Electric , or Tepco, has collected more than 1 million tonnes of contaminated water from the cooling pipes used to keep fuel cores from melting since the plant was crippled by an earthquake and tsunami in 2011. “The only option will be to drain it into the sea and dilute it,” the minister, Yoshiaki Harada, told a news briefing in Tokyo. “The whole of the government will discuss this, but I would like to offer my simple opinion.” The government is awaiting a report from an expert panel before making a final decision on how to dispose of the radioactive water. Japan’s Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, in a separate press briefing, described Harada’s comments as “his personal opinion”. Tepco was not in a position to decide what to do but would ...

Not only pizza is tasty. It is healthy too! So, what are you waiting for? Go, eat, repeat. Ms Chelsey Amer, a dietitian based in New York, claims that pizza is actually a more balanced breakfast than a bowl of cereal. Speaking to ABC News , she said: “Surprisingly, pizza can be a more balanced breakfast option than many sugar-filled breakfast cereals. “A slice of plain cheese pizza contains a balance of carbs, protein, and fat. “A bowl of sugary cereal with low fat milk is largely sugar and extremely carb-heavy.” Before you take this to mean that you should grab a slice of pizza before work every morning, Ms Amer explained that’s probably not wise. She added that she is ‘not recommending pizza as an everyday breakfast’, but is urging people to ‘focus on a balance of high fibre carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fast to stay full throughout the morning.’ If you’re puzzled by which breakfast cereal to go for, the NHS advises looking out for cereals containing wholegrain....
