Hello everyone. My name is Gleb Vinogradov. It is the sixth 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, Later this summer, NASA will send a robotic helicopter to Mars for the first time. The helicopter runs on solar power. The space agency chose to name the helicopter Ingenuity. The word means being clever or original. The name was suggested by Vaneeza Rupani. She is a high school student. She lives in Northport, Alabama. Rupani's idea was part of NASA's "Name the Rover" essay contest. The contest was open to American K-12 students. Students sent about 28,000 names.
Secondly, Prince Harry of the British Royal family has recorded a video. It honors a favorite children's book. The book is "Thomas the Tank Engine." The main character is a train engine. The book came out 75 years ago. The video introduces a new TV program. It is called "Thomas and Friends: The Royal Engine." The story includes Harry's father and grandmother, Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, as animated characters. Prince Harry's video was recorded in January, before he moved overseas.
Finally, Families might not be able to get together for Mother's Day this year. So they are trying different ways to celebrate. The coronavirus is keeping families at home or a safe distance apart. Health officials have asked people to stay home and stay away from others. That will help to slow the spread. So, people have looked for ways to make mothers feel special. Dads are making crafts with the kids. Others are finding ways to connect with their mothers. Hospitals and homes for seniors are not allowing visitors. Some facilities are helping. They will share messages that families have recorded for patients.
Thank you for your attention. I hope that you liked my report. Stay at home and wash your hands. Goodbye.
