WHITE TIGER MYSTERY SOLVED BY SCIENTISTS

           The milky coats of the white Bengal tigers are caused by a single change in a know pigment gene, a new study has found. for long time the cause of this coats of the white tigers are mystery. now, scientists have discovered that their spectacular white coats are produced by a single change in a known pigment gene. " The white tiger represents part of the natural genetic diversity of the tiger that is worth conserving." said Shu-Jin Luo of the China's Peking University.

MYSTERIOUS COSMIC IMPACT CAUSES THE EXTINCTION OF THE WOOLLY MAMMOTHS??

                                           Woolly mammoths may have died as a result of the climate change following a major cosmic impact near the end of the Ice Age. A catastrophic event in Earth's history around 12,800 years ago, scorched the air, melted bedrock and altered the course of the Earth's history, researchers said. However, exactly what happened then, still unclear. Researchers say a comet may have scraped our planet's atmosphere or a meteorite may have slammed into the Earth's surface, causing global combustion. The researchers have found ample evidence to support their theory.
                                          

EARTH LIKE PLANETS IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF DEAD STARS SPOTTED

EARTH LIKE PLANETS IN THE ATMOSPHERES OF DEAD STARS SPOTTED

            The Hubble space telescope has found the signs of Earth-like planets in a very unlikely place- the atmospheres of a pair of burnt-out stars in a nearby cluster. The researchers said that, the white dwarf stars are being polluted by debris from asteroid-like objects falling on them. The stars, known as white dwarfs- small, dim remnants of stars once like the sun- reside 150 light years away in the Hyades star cluster, in the constellation of Taurus. The cluster is relatively very young, at only 625 myo. Astronomers believe that all stars formed in clusters.
