NASA invites people to celebrate Earth Day with #NoPlaceLikeHome event wAsHington: Just like last year's global selfie, NASA is inviting people across the globe to share pictures and videos of their favourite places on Earth using social media - and tag them #NoPlaceLikeHome - on Earth Day that falls on April 22. “At NASA, we explore lots of planets and there is a lot to love: the mountains on Mars, the rings of Saturn, the 99.77-degree axial tilt of Uranus. But how about a little something for the home team? It’s Earth Day. Let’s explore our home planet, too,” the US space agency said in a state - ment. “We want you to share with NASA and the world views of your corner of Earth - your favourite place, whether it is a local park, your vacation spot or Mt. Everest. Our question to you is a simple one: What is your favourite place on Earth?” it added. “This year, we are opening up the request to include Vine and Instagram videos. Just be sure to include the hashtag #NoPlaceLikeHome - no matter what social media platform you are posting on,” NASA pointed out. Scientists from NASA and around the world have now dis - covered more than 1,800 planets beyond our solar system. “But so far, we have not found any that match the complex - ity of Earth. And it is this complexity that challenges Earth scientists as they seek to figure out how the whole planet works as a system,” the statement continued. 7 JAMMU | THURSDAY | APRIL 09 | 2015 Golden YuG IPL kicks off with glitzy opening after rain delay CSK hopes to put behind KOLKaTa: heavy rain Chief Minister Mamata failed to dampen the banerjee for gifting him spirit of ‘City of Joy’ as a a scarf that dangled off-field controversies dazzling bollywood- around his neck.
