Mars was once home to lakes.
New evidence reveals that the Martian surface was at one time both warmer and wetter, featuring lakes that have since evaporated. Mr. M. Ramy El Maarry of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research presented findings at the recent European Planetary Science Congress, saying that images revealed desiccation fissures on Mars’ surface.

These cracks, in the shape of polygons, resemble those found on Earth after a lake has dried up and are too large to have been caused by thermal expansion.

With evidence suggesting that around 4 billion years ago Mars was covered in significant amounts of water, Mr. El Maarry stated that the forces of evaporating liquid could have caused the drying features in the scale recently observed.

Many thanks Mr. El Maarry and colleagues at the Max Planck Institute, for these revealing clues into Mars past. We look forward to hearing more such intriguing facts about the history of our planetary neighbor.
During a January 2009 videoconference with Supreme Master Television staff in California, USA, Supreme Master Ching Hai suggested that we use our knowledge of Mars to be better stewards of the Earth.

Supreme Master Ching Hai: They have discovered that Mars is all barren and uninhabitable, but they also discovered that, long ago,there was water there. Water means life supporting.
So from Mars, we can learn to prevent such disaster, that it might not ever happen to our planet.
Don’t forget that we have a very beautiful home here for us and for our children.

And it offers us so much, so much. So much fun, so much beauty, so much love.
So we have to protect this beautiful place we call Earth, because this is the home of not just us, but many other species; and the environment, beautiful flora and fauna.

All we do is just be vegetarian.
Nothing else is really important anymore.
Just being vegetarian, you can save the planet overnight, just like that!

South Africa's Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve is welcoming its first black rhino calf after two years of homing six of the endangered herbivores. The news of the baby’s June 1 birth was released only after he had enjoyed his first three-and-a-half month swith family in private.

As there are now just over 4,000 black rhinos remaining in the world, the fostering of this rare species and
the newborn calf are said to set a promising start.

Welcome to the world, precious black rhino baby!May God bless the conservation efforts of the Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve and all others as we wish the black rhino population flourishing health and expansion.
