Mars rover detects bright object
LOS ANGELES – NASA officials say the Curiosity rover has made its first scoop of the surface of planet Mars and has detected a bright object on the ground.
Officials said in a news release Monday that the object could be a part of the six-wheeled rover, but they won’t sample or scoop anymore until they figure out what it is.
The Curiosity has already beamed back pictures of bedrock that suggest a fast-moving stream once flowed on the planet.
Caribbean nations targeting cholera
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic – Officials in Haiti and the Dominican Republic are preparing for a long campaign against cholera, the water-borne disease that has sickened tens of thousands of people in the two neighboring Caribbean countries.
Dominican Deputy Minister of Public Health Rafael Schiffino said the two governments are working on a project to wipe out the disease on Hispaniola by 2022.
A bilateral meeting on the plan started Monday in the Dominican Republic.
Cholera emerged suddenly in Haiti in October 2010. Experts say it was likely introduced by U.N. peacekeepers. Since then, the disease has killed 7,000 people and sickened about 300,000 in Haiti. There have been 22,000 cases and 350 deaths in the Dominican Republic.
