On February 7, LeBron James broke a record:
He became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer.
The record had been held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
for 39 years.
James plays for the Los Angeles Lakers. He made
the shot against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The
game stopped for a celebration. It was a moment
for honoring James’s accomplishments. He has
played in the NBA for 20 years. He has won four
NBA titles and four MVP awards. And his career is
still going strong. He’s likely to leave the league with
more than 40,000 points scored. That would set a
high bar for future players.

Astronomers have discovered 12 more
moons orbiting Jupiter. The planet now
has 92 known moons. That’s more moons
than any planet in our solar system.
Telescopes in Hawaii and Chile spotted
the new moons. Scientists had to confirm
the discovery. It took about a year. The moons
are small. They’re less than two miles across. They
could be pieces of bigger moons that broke off.
“I hope we can image one of these outer moons
close-up,” Scott Sheppard says. He was on the
discovery team. He works for the Carnegie Institution
for Science. Sheppard wants “to better determine
the moons’ origins.” He thinks more moons will be
found.

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
CHAD OTIS is an author and an illustrator.
His new book, The Bright Side, is about
finding hope in difficult situations. Its
hero is a boy who lives with his family
in an old school bus. They can’t afford
to live anywhere else. This is something Otis
experienced when he was a kid. He knows others
might have similar struggles. TFK Kid Reporter
Zarita Asgar spoke to Otis. He wants kids who
are going through similar
struggles to know, “You are
not alone. Stay strong. Stay
optimistic.” To those who have
everything they need, he says,
“Be nice to everyone.” You
never know what people are
going through.
