It’s so bright that it’s known as the “Morning Star” and “Evening Star”, because it can be seen at night and occasionally…

With 71% percent of the whole world being covered in water, it is no wonder that we as humans have a fascination with the Earth’s oceans and its tides.

In my freshman-year biology class, I noticed…
