What's the Difference between Tear Gas and Pepper Spray?

From CNN.com

"Tear gas and pepper spray fall under the umbrella term of "riot control agents" and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes the term "tear gas" is sometimes used to refer to riot control agents generally.Tear gas and pepper spray/balls produce the same broad effects on people exposed, such as burning in the eyes, nose and mouth as well as effecting the lungs and skin according to the CDC. "Riot control agents (sometimes referred to as 'tear gas') are chemical compounds that temporarily make people unable to function by causing irritation to the eyes, mouth, throat, lungs, and skin," the CDC says.Tear gas (which isn't actually a gas, but is a powdery solid) is usually deployed from a cannister whereas pepper spray is sprayed or shot in balls that explode and spread the oil-based chemical on impact. Some of the effects of these agents can last up to 24 hours.Pepper balls can be shot 150 feet and are used to target specific individuals as well as to saturate a crowd in the compound, according to a 2015 guide from the Fayetteville, Arkansas police department. The department guide also orders that "officers shall never target the head, neck or spine of an individual" and says that anyone hit in these areas "will receive immediate medical attention.""

Titan, Saturn's Moon, is Quickly Moving Away from the Planet

By Antoinette Durand

According to a new study, Titan is moving away from Saturn a hundred times faster than previously. 

This large moon isn't the only one drifting off. Our own moon along with the other 150ish moons, are also drifting away from their planets. Earth's moon drifts roughly 1.5 inches from us per year, according to NASA.This is caused by the moon's gravity tugging on the planet, which creates a temporary bulge in the planet. That energy pushes the moon further away.

Saturn's moon Titan is largely covered in organic material, new evidence shows
Data collected during NASA's Cassini-Huygens mission to study Saturn and some of its moons has revealed that Titan's migration rate equals about 4 inches per year," according to cnn.com.

This information was found on CNN's website.

By Antoinette Durand

To start, food is recalled if there's a food inspection concern or if someone is made sick by it. You can simply throw away food that's been recalled, or you can return it to the store you bought it from. That store should give you a refund.

A company in New Jersey recalled 43,000 pounds of ground beef. If you're from New Jersey, go to CNN for more information. If not, you should be fine.
