The Martian Moon
We are all used to the moon near the earth that it sounds unnatural to even think of the Martian moon. But that is exactly what has been explored right now. The European Mars Express (Mex) probe has made its closest flyby of the Martian moon Phobos, passing just 67km (42 miles) from its surface.
No manmade object has ever been so near to the natural satellite. The approach is one of a series being made by Mex as it seeks to understand the origin of the moon. Previous flybys have indicated that Phobos has an extremely low density, suggesting that its surface probably hides many large interior voids.
Scientists suspect the moon is simply a collection of planetary rubble that coalesced around the Red Planet sometime after its formation.
Being Baby Proof

So, it is extremely important to keep the home baby proof and ensure the safety of the babies at home. That is where the Baby Gates have a role to play. There are good quality Child Safety Gates which can prevent babies from crawling out of the enclosure that we put them into. There are also all kinds of Pressure Gates available to ensure that only adults can get in and get out of the enclosure for the safety of babies.
The same principle can be applied for the safety of pets as well.
