The sun is an amazing force of energy that allows us to survive on earth, however it is also very harmful to humans if not protected. One of its main side effects is that it causes our eyes to develop cataracts, which can lead to blindness. More than 50% of people over the age of 60 have cataracts, showing that it is a major issue(1). If over exposed to the sun, it causes the lens of our eyes to become cloudy, leaving the image that it sends to the brain blurred and unfocused (a cataract). The…

time might make an eventual difference in the orbit of Mars. Due to forces such as these, the orbit of Mars has changed and will continue to change over billions of years.. Additionally, while this model implies that Mars has been orbiting around our Sun forever and will continue to do so for and equally infinite amount of time, this is not true. Mars is a planet that is billions of years old, but it has not existed forever and will not continue to exist forever. Ultimately, this model is not…

due to the rotation path, the degree of the tilt, and the distance from the Sun. Mars is not that fortunate. Mars, on the other hand, has distinct seasons that last longer due to the rotation around the Sun and the tilt and are on the extreme side. This is caused by Mar’s longer rotation pattern since it is located farther from the Sun at one hundred forty- two miles away. When Mars reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, “the lowest surface temperature [it reaches] on Mars is negative one…

I left my house early, and heavy smog was in the air, so dense you could taste it. I started my car and waited to warm it up. I checked my phone. “I meet you there at 9” I drove to the garage door and was outside of the building. There wasn’t a soul. I drove to the pitch black streets dodging holes on the asphalt, I wasn’t in a hurry but I didn’t want to be late. The highway was desolated besides being Friday and payday, and I could feel driving into the smog, blurring my vision. The night…

The night was cold. Not cold enough to send the squirrels fleeing for their burrows; but cold enough that a cloak, or coat, was needed to move from place to place. The moon was a shining silver orb hanging overhead. The stars shone like pearls, blinking in and out of existence in the darkened sky above. The icy northern wind blew around aimlessly, like a drunken sailor stumbling from the tavern. The breeze ruffled the dark-green leaves of the ancient, gnarled trees, creating a sound similar to…

At two, she will see her home one last time. She says goodbye in a blissful ignorance. As if she will see them all again the next day. This is the last time the sun will set upon her fair skin and her home world simultaneously. As time passes so insignificantly, the separated lines on the asphalt blur into one. The streetlights and electric wires become nothing more than a platform for a small figure composed of two fingers to dance along. Her hand, tightly held through the busy corridor, she…

My favourite constellation is the Pegasus because it's myth/legend is very interesting and it is a very unique creature to me. The Pegasus lies in the Northern Hemisphere and it is the seventh largest constellation in the sky, occupying an area of 1121 square degrees. This constellation is made up with 9 stars--Scheat, Matar, Salm, Algenib and Markab. The brightest is Markab. This constellation's name came from Pegasus, a white winged horse. The most famous/well-known Greek myth involving…

What is the moon? How was it made? The moon is a large celestial object that is orbiting around the Earth. It takes around 23.7 days to rotate around the Earth fully. The moon's gravitational pull can be so strong it is able to control the tides in the ocean. There's many theories about how the moon was formed. For example, one of the ways scientists feel like the moon was made is that a mars like object collided with earth. While earth was still forming a big chunk of it came off and was…

One night Bandy the bandicoot was wandering in the jungles of Australia looking for food. Making his way through the thick forest full of shrubs and plants, suddenly Bandy heard bugs that were just beneath the soil. 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…
