This Is the Oldest Space Object Ever Found

http://gizmodo.com/5669927/this-is-the-oldest-space-object-ever-found

The oldest object found so far in space is a small galaxy. This galaxy is 600 million years younger than the whole universe. When previously looking for the oldest galaxy they had found something but this galaxy is 160 million years older that the previous oldest galaxy.  It’s speculated that this galaxy formed almost 200 years after the big bang. This means that now there a lot more discovering still to be done. This is an amazing discovery. Perhaps the more galaxies we identify the more our knowledge about pace will grow. And we will have more answers to trivial questions.  Also this discovery can lead to more discovers and perhaps some revolutionary discoveries that could change our lives as we know it.

UFOs (Or Balloons) Attack Manhattan!

http://gizmodo.com/5663706/ufos-or-balloons-attack-manhattan

This story has been quite big in the news. “it's been a while since New York had a good UFO panic. Today, New Yorkers were frozen in their tracks by what must have been a swarm of aliens searching for the most expensive cigarettes in the Universe. (Or balloons.)” However I have watched this video and it seem to me that I could easily be UFOs. I mean how could balloons be that high in the air and that visible. And how large are these balloons to be seen at this distance. However it could be balloons for all I know. But I would like to believe that’s its UFOs. I hope the government isn’t trying to cover this up and say its balloons unless they really were balloons. Perhaps there will be further investigation of the unidentified flying objects. However for now I rule this to be a UFO!!!!!

Young Boy Becomes First Human to Live With a Permanent "Robot Heart"

http://gizmodo.com/5654769/young-boy-becomes-first-human-to-live-with-a-permanent-robot-heart

The headline to this story had defiantly caught my eye. To see that a young boy is the first to have what they call “a robot heart”. Until now all other heart transplants were only temporary however this heart should help him live 20-25 years. This 15 year old boy from Italy has Duchenne syndrome which was wasting his muscles away. It was this syndrome which meant he couldn't receive a heart transplant. This forced doctors to look beyond the normal means to extend a young 15 year old boys life with technology. If you compare the unnamed boy's 90g heart with the first-ever artificial heart from 1969, you can see just how far the medical world has progressed in those 41 years. Who would have ever thought that someday a vital organ could be replaced with a robot organ to help save humans lives. This is an extraordinary story of how technology saves lives. And how technology isn’t only about our blackberry and iPhones and iPads but also technology has opened so many doors to help save people’s lives.
