Uruguay marks 88th anniversary of 1st World Cup goal
The French ambassador in Uruguay commemorated Friday the 88th anniversary of the first goal in World Cup history, scored by France's Lucient Laurent against Mexico in a match in Montevideo.
To celebrate the goal, which was scored in the Pocitos Stadium before 4,000 fans on July 13, 1930, envoy Hugues Moret kicked a replica of the original ball used in the first World Cup.

Celebrations line the Champs-Elysees
Its landing site, Elysium Planitia, was picked from 22 candidates, and is centered at about 4.5 degrees north latitude and 135.9 degrees east longitude; about 373 miles (600 kilometers) from Curiosity’s landing site, Gale Crater. The locations of other Mars landers and rovers are labeled.
InSight's landing site is Elysium Planitia, a flat, smooth plain selected not for its surface features, but for safety considerations. InSight's purpose is to study the interior of Mars, not the surface. Thus, in the selection of a landing site, what's on the surface mattered less on this mission than for previous rover missions focused on the geology.
Planitia is Latin for a flat surface, geometric plane or flatness or a plain. Elysium is from the ancient Greek name for an afterlife paradise, usually referred to in English as the Elysian Fields.

Mars making closest approach to Earth in 15 years
Next week, the red planet is making its closest approach to Earth in 15 years.
The two planets will be just 57.6 million kilometres apart next Tuesday. And on Friday, Mars will be in opposition. That means Mars and the sun will be on exact opposite sides of Earth. That same day, parts of the world will see a total lunar eclipse.
