Over 3,500 species of flora and fauna inhabit the Sonoran Desert, including kangaroo rats that don't need to drink water and jackrabbits with large ears to release heat.
Color affects our emotions and lives in many ways. It can make us feel happy or sad, and even influence whether we feel hungry, alone, angry or loving. Different colors evoke different emotions - red may make us feel romantic or angry, yellow is a happy color, and blue tones are soothing. The world would be a dreary place without color, as it brings joy and expression to dressing, art, and people's faces. Color is an integral part of our everyday experiences and moods.

Scientists are searching for a planet that could support human life using satellites, as overpopulation and environmental damage may make Earth uninhabitable long-term. An ideal planet would need to be in another star's habitable zone with the right temperature and atmosphere containing oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen. It would also need to have water. Moving humans will require much faster and more efficient rockets, which are unlikely to be possible for at least 200 years based on current technology and fuel limitations. NASA is leading the search using satellites like Kepler to identify candidate planets within the next two years.
