Good morning and welcome to Kid News. I'm Tori. Today is Friday, January 24th,

2020 and we begin with a chance for you to help name the next Mars

rover. Students across the US submitted more than 28,000 potential

names for NASA to consider. There are now just nine left standing and the Space

Agency wants you to weigh in and pick the winner.

The finalists, endurance, tenacity, promise, perseverance, vision, clarity, ingenuity,

fortitude, and courage.

cast your ballot online at Mars.

NASA.

The winning name will be announced on March 15th,

and the student who originally submitted it will get to watch the

rover launch in July from Cape Canaveral in Florida.

Switzerland just minted a coin so small it comes with a magnifying glass and for sure

you'll need it. The little gold piece is only a 12th of an inch across as

thick as two pieces of paper and weighs the same as two grains of rice.

But more than the size, it's the image on one side making headlines.

It's a famed scientist Albert Einstein, sticking out his tongue on his 72nd birthday.

And the story goes, the man behind the groundbreaking theory of relativity got tired of smiling for the cameras that day

and let the photographer know he had had enough.

Only 999 of the coins have been minted.

They'll be sold for approximately $170 each. These days, not these days not even a donut run is politically safe.
