Earlier Than The T-Rex!

                 A team of scientists discovered that the Tyrannosaurus Rex had a much older relative called the Endromaeus. The name means dawn runner and its fossil was discovered in Argentina. The area is now a park, but millions of years ago it was the home of this dinosaur. Scientists also now that this dinosaur isn't completely gone, it has its cousins, birds! This discovery tells scientists that there could have been earlier life then this dinosaur. All in all, I think that this discovery is one for the books because I believe that there is many more discoveries of new dinosaurs to come!

New Earth-Like Planet!

           In this article I found out that there is another rocky planet just like Earth. The planet is called Kepler-10b and it is 565 light years away from our planet. It rotates around the Kepler star and it is much bigger than Earth. It is very hot, hot enough to melt a rock, so obviously we cannot live there. Also there is no liquid water there because it is way to hot. Lastly, I think that this discovery is a huge part of our history because we now know that there could be other planets like Earth, Mars, and Kepler-10b!
