NASA has successfully launched a rocket carrying a Plant Hunting telescope.

The powerful Kepler telescope will search for planets similar to the Earth.
Scientists believe there are good chances of finding a planet like ours somewhere
outside in the Galaxy. There are billions and billions of stars in the heavens. If
one planet is the right distance from one of these stars, then conditions might be
right to support life. The planet’s atmosphere should neither be too hot nor too
cold. The planet would also need water. The telescope is named after the German
17th-Century astronomer Johannes Kepler. It will spend more than three years
looking for dark specks against the brightness of a hundred-thousand stars. These
specks could be Earth-like planets.

The manager of the six hundred-million-dollar project Jim Fanson said: "We
have a feeling like we're about to set sail across an ocean to discover a new
world." NASA’s space science boss Ed Weiler agreed that the mission was a
“historical” landmark in space exploration. However, he couldn’t say whether or
not the telescope would find another Earth. “It very possibly could tell us that
Earths are very, very common...or that Earths are really, really, really rare –
perhaps the only Earth,” he said. He told reporters how important Kepler’s
journey was, saying: "It really attacks some basic human questions that have been
asked since that first man or woman looked up at the sky asked, 'Are we alone?’
2. Listen to her speech of Aditi Prasand and summarize it in 250 words.

Aditi Prasad founded Indian Girls Code to introduce programming and technology to a new
generation of coders in India. She sought to empower underprivileged girls in an orphanage in
Trichy using coding and robotics. Watch this talk to learn more about this empowering
movement. Aditi Prasad, COO and CIO of Robotix Learning Solutions, is on a mission to inspire
and educate young girls and boys to learn to code and develop real-world solutions for real-world
challenges. Aditi is harnessing the power of robotics, coding, STEM & Maker Space to make
school education more interactive and immersive.
Over here in her speech she cleared her vision is to empower women in Technological Field so
that by doing this she can create a gender equal workspace (i.e., 50-50 proportion of the working
peoples) with no kind of discrimination at all. So, for this reason she founded Indian Girls Code
where she would help the young girls from deprived society, who all likes to work with technology
and all, and help them to make their future prosperous.
She also recounts her visit to Tirchy's All Girls Orphanage Colony Ashram, where she met girls
from severely dysfunctional and impoverished homes who are either victims of domestic violence
or incarcerated. She also shared four to five girls' works from the 2015 Chennai flood to preach
to those dysfunctional kids about the destruction, human losses, and consequences that the
flood had left through their energetic manner of propagation, which was too good and liked. So,
by providing this information, Aditi Prasand not only demonstrates the number of backward girls
in our society, but she also highlights the social and religious fallacies that many people face, in
the hopes that one day she will realise her vision and the dreams of all young disadvantaged
girls.
