Think just because you're underage you can't be charged with murder? Think again.
In Illinois, a nine-year-old boy has been charged with five counts of murder, two counts of arson and one count of aggravated arson, after he set a fire in a mobile home this past April which killed three small children between one and two years old and two adults.
The Peoria Journal Star reports they all died of smoke inhalation.
But...if the nine-year-old should be convicted, he would be placed on five years' probation, since imprisonment is not an option.The planet with the most moons in our solar system is now... Saturn, after a researcher discovered another 20 orbiting the planet. It now has (drum roll, please) 82 moons --three more than its neighbor, Jupiter.
Some of the moons are as small as three miles across, and scientists believe that they could be the remains of a larger moon that also orbited Saturn and was destroyed.
There's also a contest to give the moons names at https://carnegiescience.edu/NameSaturnsMoonsA new study says if you own a dog, it'll make you live longer.
Researchers at Mount Sinai Hospital say they analyzed over 70 years of research about nearly four million people in the US and around the world and found that owning one of our four-footed friends lowered the risk of dying early by 24-percent.
The research, published in the journal, Circulation, also notes that people who owned dogs had a 31% reduced risk of dying after suffering a major cardiovascular event such as heart attack or stroke as well.
Turns out that all that dog-walking owners have to do apparently helps maintain a healthier heart, since the owners got up to 30 minutes more exercise a day than non-walkers. -
