Sheep Race Held.

A town in Scotland has held its first ever sheep race.

Dumfriesshire locals and sheep fans lined the streets of Moffat to watch the race. Bets were capped at £1 a bet to keep the event lighthearted. The sheep raced the streets with knitted “jockeys” strapped to their backs.

It is believed the event is the first to be held on public streets in Scotland. Organiser Thomas MacDonald hopes that it will become an annual event.

Missing April Jones

On Monday April Jones, a five year old girl from Wales, was reported missing when she was out playing with her friends.

She was last seen by another girl her age at approximately 7:30pm when she supposably got into a light coloured van (similar to a Ford Transit or a land rover) then seconds later it drove off and she hasn't been seen since.

Searches were launched around the local area and most of the village got involved as they continued over night. However there has been no luck!

A 46 year old man has been arrested for suspected child abduction. The man is local and has been reported to drive a vehicle to the one in the police appeal. He was arrested when he was walking on the side of the road, a couple of miles from the welsh village.

The man is apparently known to family but is not related in anyway.

Officers are currently examining a van found near a bridge, two or three miles north of the town. Pictures showed a white Ford Transit van surrounded by several police cars. They're searching the surrounding area, including the banks of the local river.

Police have asked anyone with information to call them on 0300 200 0333

A Comet That Could Out-Shine The Moon!

It's been reported, according to astronomers, that a newly discovered comet could be brighter than the moon!

Astronomers in Russia recently spotted the comet (2012 S1 - ISON) 90 million kilometres from the Earth.

The comet is currently a small glow that lies between Jupiter and Saturn however the Sun's gravity is currently drawing the comet closer, the dust and ice will be blasted off, which will give it a bright glow.

The comet may expand by the tail and depending on that if it becomes three kilometres wide it could become hugely visible by late 2013 or early 2014!

"If it lives up to expectations, this comet may be one of the brightest in history," Raminder Singh Samra of the H R MacMillan Space Centre in Canada told National Geographic.

This comet is following the path of the brightest comet back in 1690, this was the most tremendous comet the wary had ever seen.

Mr Samra has warned scientist when waiting for the comet to be careful, because if this is the brightest come ever, viewing it through a telescope would lead to severe consequences.
