MARS MAGIC !!!!!!

Mars rover Curiosity finds first mineral match on surface.The Mars rover Curiosity has discovered the first mineral match from the Martian surface. The reddish powder from the hole drilled into a mountain yielded the mission's confirmation of a mineral mapped from orbit, the US space agency said in a statement.

"This connects us with the mineral identifications from orbit which can now help guide our investigations as we climb the slope and t

est hypotheses derived from the orbital mapping," said Curiosity project scientist, John Grotzinger from the California Ins

titute of Technology, Pasadena.

Curiosity collected the powder by drilling into a rock outcrop at the base of Mount Sharp in late September.

The robotic arm delivered a pinch of the sample from a target called "Confidence Hills" into the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) instrument inside the rover.

The sample contained much more haematite than any rock or soil sample previously found during the two-year-old mission.

Haematite is an iron-oxide mineral that gives clues about ancient environmental conditions from when it was formed.

"We have reached the part of the crater, where we have the mineralogical information that was important in selection of Gale Crater as the landing site," said Ralph Milliken from Brown University.

"We are now on a path where the orbital data can help us predict what minerals we will find and make good choices about where to drill. Analyses like these will help us place rover-scale observations into the broader geologic history of Gale that we see from orbital data," he added.

Much of Curiosity's first year on Mars was spent investigating outcrops in a low area of Gale Crater called "Yellowknife Bay", near the spot where the rover landed.

The rover found an ancient lakebed. Rocks present there held evidence of wet environmental conditions billions of years ago that offered ingredients and an energy source favourable for microbial life.

The rover spent much of the mission's second year driving from "Yellowknife Bay" to the base of Mount Sharp.

The new sample is only partially oxidised and preservation of magnetite and olivine indicates a gradient of oxidation levels.

"That gradient could have provided a chemical energy source for microbes," Milliken concluded.
           

SEE YOU LATER AT MARS ON 2050......

Your Responsibility...(Specially meant for adolescents)

           Who are you?? Why you have born on earth? Why should you experience pains? Why should you work? Why should you earn money? Why should you want to be comfort in life? It's all a game of God or some supernatural power, whatever you take ... You'll have to play it.. not for God  or others.. but at least for you and only yourself.. You'll realize what is your responsibility only when you analyze yourself.. your weaknesses and strengths...your abilities and disabilities..
           Just allot one hour.. Go to a silent , undisturbed room... Think..Spend few minutes.. Think for yourself..Just prop some questions on you yourself, this might seem foolish .. but is helpful..For example ask, " How you have been brought up? Think about your parents.. How hard they work to bring you up into a full grown adult from a small baby..??Is it necessary for them to work hard and bring you up with all comforts..? Why don't they just work and earn for themselves and leave you behind somewhere..Why not orphanage.. ?? Yeah.. some people do so .. Many children don't have parents to take care them.. They don't get whatever they want from their parents..Many children from richer families waste money lavishly.. They don't even know who they are to spend this much money?? 

            So  think what should you do to your parents who do a lot of thins to you.. They even bare a lot of discomforts for your comforts.. That's what your main responsibility is .. Do something for them ... At least show a one-thousandth of their affection to them by being good, indulging in good activities, getting good in your studies, this is the time to change yourself...Think how would they feel hearing that you have won some prize in the school or state or national or even international competitions.. they be over the moon as soon as they hear... They won't suppress you even if you lose a competition or at studies..They do encourage you for the next exam or competitions... Winning of their child makes them happy... At least you can be sincere in doing these small small works and not playful...After reading this article, if take your book to start reading "  Don't think that ' Who will read this book?' and go for play.." .. Do all works with curiosity and love the work which will result in success. Don't hate the works or show boring or lazy attitude in doing works.. 
             When you develop an interest towards learning or some other useful activities , keep going ..Let sky be the limit... If the scientists like Galileo, Newton,Einstein , etc... have showed hatred towards science and science books How could they have achieved.. They all loved science and were determined to achieve or invent something in life... You need not show your responsibility in helping the country or world , at least know your responsibility that you have to show towards your parents and teachers...

Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.
                                                                                          

                                                           - LINCOLN

The greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total 

responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow 

up.

                                                                                                         -     John C. Maxwell

So let this day be your great day of being responsible.. 

 A TREE CAN'T BE BENT , WHEREAS A TWIG CAN BE.

Winners.Don't do different things, But they do things 

differently..

                      KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, SUCCEED IN YOUR LIFE...
