The icy surface of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, home to the famous Philae lander, may also host alien life, according to astrobiologists.
Professor Chandra Wickramasinghe, director of the U.K.’s Buckingham Centre for Astrobiology, and Max Wallis of the University of Cardiff say that the comet could be home to living microbes. The scientists presented their research at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting in Llandudno, Wales on Monday.
“The case we’re building includes what’s being discovered about comet CG’s [Churyumov-Gerasimenko’s] surface layers — mineral and carbonaceous dust forming a protective crust over a mix of complex carbon compounds and H2O,” explained Wallis, in an email to FoxNews.com. “[This] makes a positive habitat for micro-biology as the comet warms on nearing the sun.”
Wallis also cites the emission of gases from the comet last September before its “subcrust” had warmed as evidence of stored bio-gases being released.
Philae made headlines in November 2014 when it became the first probe to landon a comet, the culmination of an audacious 10-year mission. But when the lander settled into the shadow of a cliff three days later its solar panels were deprived of sunlight and it entered into “idle mode.” Last month, however, the European Space Agency lander began “waking up,” intermittently sending data to the Rosetta spacecraft orbiting the comet.
According to the scientists’ research, the comet’s micro-organisms probably require liquid water bodies to colonize the comet and could inhabit cracks in its ice and “snow.”
The comet, which is travelling at more than 73,000 mph, is currently about 176.7 million miles from Earth, according to Sky News
A Berlin man has become the first in Germany to give birth to a baby.
He identifies as male, but has a female reproductive system.
The baby boy was born on March 18th this year in a home birth, as hospitals are required to write the name of the mother in their records when a child is born.
It was delivered with the help of a midwife in the Neukölln area of Berlin.
On government records the new father, who is transgender, is registered as a man.
This makes him the first male in Germany to give birth, Berlin newspapers reported on Monday.
He reportedly became pregnant through a sperm donation.
Officially the child does not have a mother, only a father.
The case is reminiscent of transgender Thomas Beatie who has given birth to three children in the US.
Transgender people are able to give birth to children because even when a woman undergoes hormone therapy to become more physically masculine, they can retain female organs.
Born Tracy Lehuanani LaGondino, Beatie was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, the first of two children. His mother was from San Francisco, and of English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh descent. His father, of Korean and Filipino decent, was born and raised in Hawaii.[5] As a teenager, Beatie was a female model and Miss Teen Hawaii USA pageant finalist.[6] He appeared regularly on the nationally televised aerobics workout series and video, Basic Training with Ada Janklowicz, and later became a competitive bodybuilder.
In 1996, Beatie graduated from the University of Hawaii with a bachelor’s degree in Health Science (Pre-med) and later pursued an Executive MBA. In 1997, he founded Define Normal, a progressive clothing company, which has since expanded in federal trademark to film and video production. He competed in full-contact fighting and was a black belt and tournament champion in Taekwondo.
At the age of 10, Beatie started to self-identify with the male gender.[12] At 23 years old, he began testosterone hormone treatment to transition to living life as a man.

Technology opens the doors to many new possibilities.
It can enable us to do the most complicated things such as flying to the moon, to more mundane things like automatically opening a door for us. Sometimes we get too used to it and we take it for granted, but I don’t think we should.
Let me explain: as we all know driving can be very dangerous. One of the most dangerous parts of it is overtaking large trucks on single lane highways, and this in some countries is the largest source of accidents. Samsung has used the power of technology to reduce the number of accidents that occur in these situation. Watch the video and let us know what you think.
They say that dog is “man’s best friend” but that’s not a sentiment that’s shared by all other animals. From monkeys to horses, we’ve all seen more than a few YouTube clips of various animals getting very chummy with humans. But here’s a very unusual one.
the boy in this video has developed a special bond with a stingray! Stingrays are typically not aggressive but they’ve earned their name by having a poisonous stinger which they use when they feel their lives are being threatened.
These guys like to hang out in shallow waters so make sure you don’t step on them! You wouldn’t step on your friends would you?
It’s a picture sure to melt even the coldest of hearts, and certain to earn the pooches an extra spoonful or two for their efforts.
The photograph taken at a police dog academy shows six dogs queuing up to get their dinner, while holding onto their plates with their teeth.
A black Labrador heads up the line of five German shepherds as they sit patiently with their ears pricked, waiting for their turn to go up to the trainer and receive their food.
No skipping the queue: The six police dogs wait patiently in an orderly line to receive their food. The picture is believed to have been taken in a police dog academy in China
It’s not clear where this particular photograph was taken, but previous images from a dog training centre run by the Zhejiang Armed Police Force showed that queuing for dinner is a tradition for the canines there.
‘A good police dog needs to meet these four requirements: good looking, big appetite, courageous and possessive,’ said a Hangzhou-based police dog trainer, according to People’s Daily Online.
Another set of photographs emerged last week showing how Chinese policemen train their pooch friends.
Pictured are officers from around the country convening in Harbin in north eastern China to join a four-month course on dog training, which began last week.

A 92-year-old Indian woman who admitted she eats a kilogram of sand every day has amazed doctors with her perfect health.
Sudama Devi first ate sand for a bet with friends when she was aged just ten.
But the mother-of-four, from Kajri Noorpur, became addicted to the grit and now eats four plates of it every day.
She claims the unusual habit, which saw her eat only sand for dinner following her wedding to husband Krishan Kumar, is the reason she has never had to visit a doctor or be hungry.
Mrs Devi said: ‘I eat sand daily, about one kilogram and three or four times in a day.
‘My economic condition is not good but I am fond of eating a good and healthy diet. I eat sand but it is not like a food.’
She added that the sand was so good when she tried it as a child she soon tied it in to her routine diet.
The mother-of-four, from Kajri Noorpur, India, mixes the sand with water in a glass before drinking it, as well as eating it directly from a metal plate
The 92-year-old started eating the grit eight decades ago aged just ten and now has four plates of it every day
The elderly woman dips a piece of what appears to be orange in a plate of sand, which she believes keeps her healthy
She said: ‘I had seven sons and three daughters but now I have only three sons and one daughter alive. No one eats sand.
‘Before marriage my father and my brother arranged sand for me and after marriage my husband Krishan Kumar arranged sand for me.
‘When I came first time (sic) in my husband’s home everybody felt surprised to see that a bride eats sand.’
Although Mrs Devi, perched on a wicker bench (above), has been eating the substance for decades, she doesn’t class sand as ‘food’
She also said she used to enjoy a good, healthy meal, before she started eating so much sand
Mrs Devi sits in a corner outside a property in India on a yellow deckchair and licks her hand clean of sand
One local from the village described Mrs Devi, pictured eating one particularly large lump, as ‘fully physically fit’
One local from the village described Mrs Devi as ‘fully physically fit’.
‘She has no disease in her body,’ they said. ‘Without sand she does not feel hunger.’
It is surprising Mrs Devi has good fitness and does not suffer any serious illnesses, doctors said.

The Chinese firm used a modular method to build three floors at a time
China’s Broad Sustainable Building Co. claims it’s capable of constructing buildings faster than any other company in the world. The firm is behind the recently erected Mini Sky City in Hunan Province — a 57-story skyscraper built in just 19 days, AP reports.
The company uses a modular method of construction, which allows workers to build three stories in a single day. “With the traditional method, they have to build a skyscraper brick by brick, but with our method, we just need to assemble the blocks,” company engineer Chen Xiangqian told AP.
THE TIMEFRAME DOESN’T ACCOUNT FOR DESIGN AND PLANNING
Those 19 days don’t account for concept design and planning, of course. The company spent four and a half months constructing the skyscraper’s 2,736 modules before beginning the process of actually putting the pieces together. Construction of the building began last year, but bad weather stalled the project. The 19-day total is the sum of all the days spent on construction, not a single timeframe.
While such speed is impressive and the building does meet the city’s safety standards, critics of modular construction — which has also been used by firms in the US and UK — say the process doesn’t allow for architectural variation. Instead, boxy units are stacked together like amateur building blocks and skylines begin to look very homogenous.
The Broad Sustainable Building Co. is waiting for approval to build a 220-floor skyscraper in only three months, AP reports.

Mary Manssen is a 91-year-old great-great-grandmother from New Zealand. She also happens to be the country’s oldest bungee jumper.
Manssen took up the activity after her husband Frank died seven years ago.
She told Stuff.com that she frequently saw the bridge she jumped off last week, Queenstown’s Kawarau Bridge, on fishing trips she took with Frank.
“There’s nothing to it,” Manssen, who went on to describe the jump as “magnificent,” told the website. She added that she showed pics of her jump to her local bowling club on Tuesday. “They were rapt. They couldn’t believe it,” she said.
Although she holds the New Zealand record, Manssen is not actually the world’s oldest female bungee jumper. That honor belongs to Finnish woman Margit Tall, age 96, who may agree with Manssen’s understated stance on bungee-jumping: “The busier you are, the happier you are.”
