Zara Rutherford, 19, of Belgium, has become the youngest woman to successfully fly solo AROUND the world, landing her into the Guinness World Records book. Zara's journey, in a one-seater microlight plane, took 155 days. Her trip covered over 32,000 miles and visiting 41 different countries on five continents. During her trek, Zara had to stop in California, as she lost visibility due to wildfires. She had to deal with bad weather delaying her trip and had to alter her flight plans when the country of China refused her entry. She also dealt with smog in India and poor visibility over the desert of Saudi Arabia. Zara said the hardest part of her flight was the extreme cold in Siberia. Zara has wanted to make a round the world trip since learning to fly as a young teenage. A goal she has now accomplished.Photograph from Stripes.

Two labradors named Duke and Huntah are on patrol to help keep COVID from spreading in several schools in Massachusetts. With their wonderful sense of smell, the dogs have been trained to smell an odor distinct to those with COVID. While on the job, the two pooches go around classrooms and hallways (lockers) and even the cafeterias after the students have left. Should Duke or Huntah detect the whiff of COVID, the dogs will sit and place a paw on the chair or desk suspected of the scent.The school does a trace of those that have sat at the chair or desk and a test for Covid is given to those students. Other schools are thinking of having COVID trained dogs, too, to help fight the disease from spreading in schools.

Even thought the meaning of millipede means 1000 feet, the most the species has been even been counted to have is a little more than 750. Now, scientists have found a millipede in Australia with 1306 tiny legs. Imagine counting all of them! Called the Eumillipes persephone, the millipede doesn't have any eyes and uses its antennas to maneuver as it tunnels through dirt. With all the many legs, the millipede is able to dig in several directions at the same time!

A 6.7 inch fossilized egg found in China had an amazing discovery inside of it, a perfectly preserved dinosaur embryo! Thought to be about 66 million years old, the theropod(oviraptorosaur) has been nicknamed "Baby Yingliang". A type of feathered, toothless dinosaur, the embryo was in what is called a "tucking" position, almost ready to have hatched. It is thought that a mudslide buried the egg, preserving it. Found ten years ago, it was just recently discovered in a storage area of the Yingliang Stone Nature History Museum, where scientists made the discovery.
