New Horizons is a NASA unmanned spacecraft designed to fly by Pluto and its moons (including Charon) and transmit images and data back to Earth. Mission planners hope that NASA will approve plans to continue the mission with a fly-by of a Kuiper Belt Object and return further data. A consortium of organizations, led by Southwest Research Institute and the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, has built the craft. The mission's principal investigator is S. Alan Stern of Southwest Research. The probe successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida at 14:00 EST January 19, 2006 and is now en route to Jupiter for a gravity assist.
The primary scientific objectives are to characterize the global geology and morphology and map the surface composition of Pluto and Charon, and study the neutral atmosphere of Pluto and its escape rate. Other objectives include studying time variability of Pluto's surface and atmosphere; imaging and mapping areas of Pluto and Charon at high-resolution; characterizing Pluto's upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and energetic particle environment; searching for an atmosphere around Charon; refining bulk parameters of Pluto and Charon; and searching for additional satellites and rings.
Creative Students of Govt. High School, Avanavanchery, bonded with lifelong friendship decided to blog together. They gave me the opportunity to co-operate with them. I really enjoy their company. May GOD bless the fellowship.

AMAZING ANTARTICA
Antartica is coldest place on earth. It's freezng air tends to be extermily dry because very cold air holds only a small amount of water vapour.
GREEN HOUSE EFFECT
Warming of Earth's surface and lover atmosphere that tends to intencify with an increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide and certain other gases. Visible light from the sun,heat the Earth's surface. Part of energy is reradiated in the form of long -wave Infrared Rdiations, much of hich is aborded by molecules of crbon dioxide and water vapour in the atmosphere and reradiated back towards the surface as more heat.
This process is analogous to the glass panes of green house that transmit sun light but hold heat. the trapping of nfrared radiations causes the Earth's surface and love atmosphere to warm more than they otherwase would,making the surface haitable. the increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide caused by widespread combustion of fossil fuels may intencify the greenhouse effect and cause long-term climtic change.
An increase in atmospheic concentractions of other trace gases such as chloroflurocarbon, nitrous oxide and methane may also aggravate green house condetions. It is estimatd that since the begening of ndustrial revolution the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide has incresed 30%, while the amount of methane has doubled. Today the U.S. is responsible for about one fifty of all human produced greenhouse gas emmission.

BIRD TO THE BATTLE FRONT!
The cavalryman of Media in fifth centuary won many wars aganst the greeks riding very unusual mounts into battle. They rode ostriches, nt horses!
GIANT CAT FISH
In Japan,people thought earthquakes were caused by a gaint cat fishwriggling about on the sea bed . The god has to put a rock on the fish's head to make it stay still!
