How about we start talking about the more interesting things in this article. Last month Nasa and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) landed the heaviest, but most intelligent and technologically developed payload, ever to touch the Martian surface. I am of course referring to the 2020 Perseverance rover. It carries seven primary payload instruments, 19 cameras, and two microphones. The rover is also carrying the mini-helicopter Ingenuity, an experimental aircraft that will attempt the first ever powered flight on another planet.

SpaceX did it again: SpaceX's latest Starship prototype went out in a blaze of glory.
The Starship SN10 spacecraft touched down successfully after a high-altitude test flight in March 3, a major milestone for the company and its crewed Mars ambitions. But the vehicle didn't manage to hold itself together, exploding about eight minutes after landing.
The big stainless-steel SN10 launched from SpaceX's South Texas site, rose 10 kilometers into the sky and came back safely to Earth for a smooth touchdown after 6 minutes and 20 seconds from liftoff.

Space (What is space according to many scientific sources: Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction.) facts that probably you didn’t know:
-
Space is completely silent (due to the vacuum-no air).
-
99% of our solar system's mass is the sun.
-
More energy from the sun hits Earth every hour than the planet uses in a year.
-
One day on Venus is longer than one year on Earth and 10 days longer than 1 year on Venus.
-
The universe is constantly expanding.
-
A competed NASA space suit costs $12,000,000.
-
There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on earth.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!  
I’m Zoe, and in today’s blog I’m going to provide you all, with general information about my topic “music & arts”.
Music is a really important “element” in our lives. I would say that it is mandatory that we listen to music, because first of all it is one really helpful way to restore peace in our body and mind. Many people would say, that yes music is important but where exactly does it help, to what does it benefit?
Well, first of all, it plays a major role in learning effectively, helps in the development of our minds. Just like James Dickinson says, music makes us a better learner, “The skills associated with learning an instrument, the discipline of practising, are transferrable to any other subject”. Even when struggling to learn something, music can actually help to see your progress! Moving on, it can help to boost your confidence, believe in yourself and abilities.
Besides the fact that it brings people with the same tastes of music together it also brings together people who are vulnerable, introverted and lack confidence, and helps them socialise. Last but not least, music can create a safe and creative space for each and every one of us, to start understanding ourselves and discovering our identity, and a whole new world that’s opened up.
​
Especially for teens and kids, music can have a major impact in their lives. Every day, they have numerous obligations, that most of the times are not easy. We can say that music is that source of happiness that never ends and never fails to help them through this whole journey.
There are a lot of times in a day that we are not really concentrated and generally not ready to come back to reality. Music & Arts, is a way to accomplish that and maintain our concentration. Activities like dancing or singing or painting, are considered “basic and boring”, but I’m here to prove you wrong and let you know that such activities can be therapeutic. Colouring books are not only for kids, but for everyone. Also, you can try making a self-portrait, by just sitting in front of a mirror and make an attempt and draw yourselves! Or maybe recreating a photo you saw on Pinterest, and if you fail try again.  
​
So that consists of today’s blog, I hoped you found it entertaining enough! If you are looking forward for a new one, please stay tuned!
