He could dig without trouble, but with his big, round nose it was hard to stick his face down which made the bandicoot frustrated. Bandy gave up hope of reaching the insects and went to find plants and bugs that may be roaming in the leaves. On the way he passed by Mrs.Katie the…

With the loud flap of wings, a duck leaves the murky waters of the lake and ascends. Only as the sun begins to set, do the threatening rain clouds finally dissipate in the darkening sky. The drenched soil, soaked squirrels, and over watered grass let out a collective sigh of relief, heard over the rustling of the wind through bare branches. The flooded areas around the lake recede back, leaving behind humanity’s kind gifts to nature. The shores and beaches of the lake now lay littered with…

Other events are less common and hold a beautiful mystic to them like a comet streaking across the sky. Of all the magnificence spectacles that occur in the universe, there are not many that equal the power or beauty of a supernova. Supernovas occur at the end of the star’s life cycle as the star depletes its fuel.…

The stars shift west which can throw off the constellations shape. The shape will take over 50,000 years before you, the human eye, would be able to see. Constellations change as the earth moves around the sun. One was greatly impacted by this, Argo Navis. Ptolemy's´ constellations are still in use today. His constellation, Argo Navis, is now broken into three smaller parts. These three smaller parts created three constellations. Argo Navis is no longer…

The power of the sun is what makes life on Earth possible. Efforts to harness solar energy in concentrated form have long been a human pursuit. Solar technology has existed since the 19th century and has received substantial government support since at least the 1970s. Despite these efforts, solar power comprises less than 1% of U.S. electricity generation (History of Solar Power, para.1, 2016). There have been many applications besides bulk power generation, and the solar-powered vehicle is one…

Global warming is a major issue facing the world today. The earth’s physical temperature has gradually began to increase by one degree almost every year.

Fossil fuels, deforestation, and electrical power plants are some factors that have caused this global crisis. Fossil fuels, deforestation, and electrical…
