  By tracking thousands of large pulsating stars throughout the Milky Way, astronomers have created the most accurate map of the Milky Way to date, proving that the disks of its myriad stars are not flat, but warped and distorted. Researchers released a three-dimensional map of the Milky Way on Thursday - home to more than 100 billion stars, including the Sun - and provided a comprehensive structural chart: a stellar disk consisting of four main spiral arms and a strip core. Andrzej Udalski, an astronomer at the University of Warsaw, is the co-author of a research report published in the journal Science. He said that this is the first time in our entire galaxy - from the edge of the disk to the edge - using real, precise distance mapping.

  China has unveiled a plan to protect and restore the country's forests, with the aim of reaching a total area of 200 million hectares by 2035. According to the plan, released by the State Council recently, a mechanism for forest protection and restoration will be built for all of the country's natural forests by 2020. By 2050, a fully functioning ecosystem will be complete, which will play a fundamental role in the country's sustainable development goals. "The plan shows our principle of making environmental protection the priority and realizing a harmonious coexistence between nature and humans," a top official from the National Forestry and Grassland Administration said in a recent interview.

  If a dog's eyes seem to tell you something or ask for your attention, it may be an evolutionary way of manipulating your feelings. The researchers found that muscle evolution around the dog's eyes allowed them to create expressions that were particularly appealing to humans. A small facial muscle allows the dog's eye to mimic a "baby-like" expression, which promotes a "culture response." The study called the "puppy eye" to help domesticated dogs to combine with humans.
