KEEP UP
The night of September 27 will bring about a historic event that has not happened since 1982 and will not occur again until 2033, there will be a Super Blood Moon. A combination of a Super Moon and a Lunar Eclipse will be taking place at the same time resulting in a historic moment and great photo opportunity. What is happening is a total lunar eclipse will occur where the Earth completely cast its shadow on the moon. From there there will also be a Super Moon, the point in the moons navigation around Earth where it is at its closest point. The moon will look 14% bigger than normal. Finally there will be a full moon close to the autumn equinox, called a Harvest Moon. Once all these things happen there will be a Super Harvest Blood Moon, a very rare occurrence.

Link between air pollution, increased deaths and increased deaths from heart disease affirmed9/17/2015 Air pollution is at the worst it has ever been. All the tiny particles in the air are have long been viewed as a fatal part of our society that leads to early death in people. This theory has now been proven in what is one of the biggest studies of it's kind in the U.S.. Fatal heart and lung diseases are arising due to these particles minuscule size they are able to slip past the body's defenses and allow infections to occur. We need better policies in our goverment to stop this growing problem and protect our future generations from the harms of air pollution. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/09/150915094302.htm The world is at a serious threat with the current issue of global climate change, but different countries view its serious threat differently from others. For example most of the world knows about climate change but those that are aware of its serious threats is less than half of the world. Climate change is a huge deal and but some people are not aware of how serious this threat is. Some countries had not even heard about the issue. This winter global leaders are getting together in Paris to look at some things they can do to hopefully reverse this scary trend of climate change.
A new report has come out today that there are many more trees earth than expected before. According to a group of Yale researchers they believe that Earth has approximately 3.04 trillion trees, 8 times as many as were previously believed. Using the help of super computers these environmental scientist were able to calculate roughly the number of trees on Earth. Although this number may seem astonishing it is actually a concern to scientists. Since the dawn of human civilization, the team was able to calculate that 46% of trees have been diminished. Also every single year 15 billion trees are cut down. Although trees are one of the biggest groups of organisms on earth they are being dwindled down at an astonishing rate.
