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.

-
The universe is constantly expanding.
-
A competed NASA space suit costs $12,000,000.

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog!  
For those who do not know me, my name is Zoe and I am here to provide you all, with interesting information about my topic “music & arts”.
Last time we discussed, I provided you with general info and I made sure that you guys understood what is the importance of music and arts in our lives. So, if you haven’t read it yet, then please go ahead and do not hesitate to leave a comment with your impressions.
Now I decided that, in each blog I’m going to be talking about different genres of music and kinds of art. I’m certainly not going to forget and give you guys couple of reasons why music and arts could be considered therapeutic, and lastly activities and to keep you going through this rough period of time. So, let’s start, shall we?
Music and arts, as we all know, helps someone to get his inner feelings out, either in form of a painting or song or dance. Express the feelings and emotions, safely but without words. For some people they(music & arts) can work as a different reality where it’s only them and no one else. Sometimes, everyday life, can be really exhausting, stressful and programs might be overfilled, which results in us seeking for an escape… a door that leads to our own universe. Furthermore, music can enhance our creativity, if encouraged enough we can express ourselves and create something of our own. Creativity can be a very important aspect and quality for professional future.
Today I decided to start from a genre of music that, we could say, brings a lot of joy, urges you to dance… Jazz!
So, for those who might not know, jazz comes from African-American communities, Louisiana, New Orleans, with its roots in blues and ragtime. As jazz spread around the world, it drew on national, regional, and local musical cultures, which gave rise to different styles. For example, one style of jazz that was developed in the 1940’s was Bebop and it was considered the younger generation of jazz. Musicians expanded the creative possibilities of jazz beyond the popular… this kind was not danceable due to its fast tempo and rapid chord changes. The fact that this kind of Jazz was not danceable, gave the musicians the opportunity to explore new harmonies and melodies. Some of its popular musicians were, Dexter Gordon, Charlie Parker, Buddy DeFranco etc….
I have found an activity, that matter of fact is really interesting and can bring some excitement, and that is to make a list of whatever you want to do. And because we are concentrated on music and arts that means that, you can make a list of all museum and concerts that you want to visit and go have fun, hopefully after quarantine…
This blog was quite a journey… AAND that consists of today’s blog, I hope you liked it and found it entertaining enough. If you did please stay tuned for another one!
