Astronomers led by University of Hawaii Institute for Astronomy claim to have discovered an exoplanet three times of Jupiter's mass orbiting the star Kepler-88. The planet takes four Earth years to go around its star. Previously, two other exoplanets orbiting Kepler-88, Kepler-88 b and Kepler-88 c were discovered. Kepler-88 c, Jupiter-mass planet, takes 22 days to go around the star.
Introduction: In the vast, icy expanses of the Arctic, a silent crisis is unfolding. The effects of global warming are nowhere more apparent than in this frigid wilderness, where the reality of climate change has become a daily struggle for survival for its inhabitants. The Shrinking Arctic Ice: At the heart of this crisis is the rapid melting of sea ice. The Arctic's ice caps, integral to the region's ecosystem, are shrinking at alarming rates. This loss of ice is not just a statistic; it's a dramatic shift that is uprooting the lives of the wildlife that call the Arctic home. Polar Bears: Icons of Climate Change: Polar bears, the majestic symbols of the Arctic, are perhaps the most visibly affected. Dependent on sea ice for hunting seals, their primary food source, these bears are finding their hunting grounds disappearing. As a result, they are forced to swim longer distances and face starvation, leading to a decline in their population. Arctic Foxes and Seals: Adapting...
