News 25.04.20-01.05.20

Hello everyone. My name is Gleb Vinogradov. It is the fourth publication of my news blog. I had been collecting the information for the whole week. As usual, right now I am going to present to you some positive news from the past 7 days. 

Firstly, Astronomers have found another planet. It is nearly the same size as Earth. The new planet orbits around a large star, like our sun. A new study said the planet is in that star's habitable zone. Water and living things can be found there. New Planet Is situated way Out In Space. Kepler-1649c is 300 light-years away from Earth. This means that the new planet is very far away. A second Earth lies among the stars, waiting to be found.

The second one is about the book. Tallamy has a new book out called "Nature's Best Hope." It centers around a bold idea: Americans need to change the way they think about the residential landscape. This change starts with the lawn. Less lawn and more native plants will lead to increased biodiversity.

Tallamy studies insects. Insect life is often key to the health of a specific ecology or biome. Less lawn and more native plants will lead to increased biodiversity. The solution might be just as obvious as the problem. What if the American front yard was "nature?" There are almost 130 million pieces of residential land in the United States. Together, they can restore lost biomes. Tallamy says we could create one big connected habitat lawn by lawn. More trees, less non-native grass, and plants. He calls it the Homegrown National Park.

Finally, The "Quarantine Olympics" is a new trend on the internet. It came out of the coronavirus pandemic. The Olympics began at the Presley family home in Cornelius, North Carolina.

In one event, the Presleys played dodgeball. They used rolls of toilet paper instead of balls

The Presleys' games have made them internet famous. The family has started the "Quarantine Olympics." They play unusual games for people to watch. The series has gone viral on TikTok.

That is all. Thank you for your attention. I hope that you liked my report. Stay at home and wash your hands. Goodbye.
