Eels

On Sunday, June 13 I found two eels.  When I first picked up the rock I thought it was water droplets, but when I lifted up the rock all the way they started flapping their tail.  You might be, "Like... how much of them is their tail?",  because they look like one big long tail.

When I picked them up and they were hard to keep a hold of.  Yes, they were slippery.

Here is a picture of me holding one of the eels.  I then let them go.

Douglas Mawson's Sled Plane

Douglas Mawson was an Australian polar explorer.

In 1912 Mr. Mawson took a plane to Antarctica but it had no wings. He wanted it to be like a sled with an engine. He would use it to drag supplies for explorers.

Antarctica is very cold, too cold for an engine to last long. The plane quit working. Mr. Mawson left it behind.

The sled plane got buried in ice. People thought it got washed into the ocean.

Australian researchers recently found the sled plane. It is still under ice. They can only see a little bit of it though.

The sled plane is still in the place he left it almost 100 years ago!

Storm Alley

by

Daniel Blanchard

Storm Alley on Saturn has been busy. There was a lightning storm south of the equator that was non-stop since January. It was the longest lasting thunder storm in the solar system.

The Cassini (kah-see-nee) spacecraft has been orbiting Saturn for about five years. Scientists in Germany have been using Cassini's Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument to measure Saturn's lightning storms.

The last big storm lasted about 7 ½ months. Scientists have been watching a new storm since January 2009.
