The retina doesn't have pain receptors, so when the rays of the sun burn the cells in your retina, you can't feel it. These cells cannot regenerate once they are gone. Symptoms of this include blurred vision and color distortion and it has a term, solar retinopathy. “It can be dange...

Solar activity is like “weather” • Sunspots • Solar Flares • Solar Prominences • All related to magnetic fields Sunspots Are cooler than other parts of the Sun’s surface (4000 K) Are regions with strong magnetic fields Charged particles spiral along magnetic field lines. Loops of...
appear as dark sunspots amid the hotter, brighter gas, while the loops also channel relatively cool gas along them, appearing as dark "filaments" when silhouetted against the photosphere, or as pinkish prominences around the edge or limb of the sun (best seen during a total solar eclipse)....
Many also believe that sunspots are the only way the solar wind can cause auroras on Earth, also false. Coronal holes, coronal mass ejections from solar prominences and slight fluctuations in the incoming solar wind can produce intense auroras without the need for sunspots. The next solar maxim...
Ideas that found resonance with others rose in prominence much the way Google searches do today, finding an ever larger audience and becoming a source of political power for individuals with neither wealth nor force of arms. Thomas Paine, to take one example, emigrated from England to Philadelphi...
Change in the shape of Earth's orbit is called eccentricity. This change could also affect the climate in different parts of the world over a long period of time. Axial Procession of the Equinoxes Bulges in the spherical shape of Earth causes the planet to wobble on its axial plane as ...

Widely recognized for its production of batteries utilized in applications such as telecom towers and solar power systems, Okaya Power is actively expanding its operations to include the creation of...
We are told that John Winthrop died of natural causes in March of 1649 and was buried in the King’s Chapel Burying Ground, the oldest cemetery in Boston and a site on the Freedom Trail. The Freedom Trail is a 2.5-mile, or 4-kilometer, -long path through Boston with sixteen locations...
In the solar system, a year is determined by how long it takes for a planet to revolve around the sun, and a day is determined by how long it takes for a planet to completely rotate on its axis. Mercury has an unusual length of day when compared to most of the other planets in th...
