It can be kind but it can get angry. But it never throws its weight around. It is the sun. And although <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">it is 330,000 more massive than earth</span></b> and <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">contains 99.8% of the mass in our solar system</span></b>, it is small in comparison with some other stars.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The sun never cease to amaze us with its theatrics, its lava flares dancing across its surface in a ballet of nuclear fusion, sometimes leaping millions of miles into the air. And although the sun is big, its intense heat and light makes it difficult to capture good images with normal instruments. So NASA scientists use an Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager and an Atmospheric Imaging Assembly detector to view the ultra-violet (UV) and extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUV) wavelengths released by the sun. The resulting images are spectacular.</span><br />
<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Earth in comparison to the sun</span></b><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>Earth’s distance from the sun</i> varies between <b><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">91.4 million miles – in January – and 94.4 million miles – in July</span></b>. The average distance of 92,955,887.6 miles (149, 597, 870.7 kilometers) is called 1 astronomical unit (AU), a measurement that is used to report distances to other planets and stars as well. In short, it’s not a weekend drive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">NASA puts the size of earth to the </span><a href="http://www.nasa.gov/worldbook/sun_worldbook.html"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">sun in perspective</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> like this: Suppose the radius of Earth were the width of an ordinary </span><a href="http://didyouknow.org/paperclips/"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">paper clip</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">. The radius of the sun would be roughly the height of a desk, and the sun would be about 100 paces from earth.</span><br />

</div><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The size of the sun in comparison</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Our sun is one of billions in the entire universe. It also is fairly small in comparison with other big stars. In fact, our sun is classified as a G2 dwarf star. Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky, is twice as massive as the sun and 25 times more luminous. And Sirius is dwarfed by Pollux, which is eight times the radius of the sun. And Pollux is dwarfed by Arcturus, which is almost 26 times the size of the sun.</span><br />

</div><b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It’s a big, big universe</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">But there are bigger stars yet. When compared to Antares, our handsome sun is a mere pixel on a map. And Antares is not even the biggest star. That title is thought to belong to a star called VY Canus Majoris. It is about <b><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">2,000 times the size of the sun</span></b>, or more than twice the size of Antares.</span><br />
<br />

</div><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Note that it VY Canus Majoris is the biggest in size but not mass. The currently known most massive star is thought to be <i>WR 102ka</i> – known as Peony Nebula Star – at about 175 times the mass of the sun.</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">How big is the universe?</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The </span><a href="http://map.gsfc.nasa.gov/"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> calculated the age of the known universe at 13.7 billion years old, based on its radius of 13.7 billion light years. And it is <b><span style="color: red; font-size: large;">growing bigger every day, at a speed of 71 </span></b></span><a href="http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/cosmic/glossary.html"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>km/s/Mpc</b></span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.

Then you just keep going for another 77.999 999 billion light years. Or you could stay here, look after our beautiful planet… and enjoy the sun.</span><br />

It allows you to blink 5 times a second. On average, <strong><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">you blink 15 000 times a day</span></strong>. That’s about 10 times per minute, or more than five million times a year. Women blink more than men.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Animals blink too, of course. Some bird species, usually flightless birds, have only a lower eyelid, whereas pigeons use upper and lower lids to blink. Fish and insects do not have eyelids – their eyes are protected by a hardened lens.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To care for your eyes, eat carrots. They really do make you see better. Vitamin A is known to prevent “night blindness,” and carrots are loaded with Vitamin A. Deficiency of Vitamin A actually is a significant world problem, comparable to that of protein deficiency and second only to caloric deficiency.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carrots also contain fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and beta-carotene, which may reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer. Carrots have zero fat content. One carrot provides more than 200% of recommended daily intake of Vitamin A.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carrots were first cultivated in 500 BC in the Mediterranean regions. The first carrots were purple, white, and yellow. They were introduced in Europe in the 1600s. Orange carrots – the ones we know today – were first grown in Japan in the 17th century, and later made popular by the Dutch.</span><br />

Drawings of his design date to early 1899, but since Norway had no patent law at the time he had to seek patent rights in Germany and the US in the following years.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><strong><span style="color: red;">Johann Vaaler</span></strong> was born on 15 March 1866 in Aurskog, Norway. Known as an innovator in his youth, he graduated in electronics, science and mathematics. He was employed by the owner of an invention office when he invented the paper clip in 1899.</span><br />

Only a few remain, such as the Ideal, Non-Skid, Owl and Gem. The first double-oval clip, the Gem, was launched in early-1900 by Gem Manufacturing Ltd of England. The paper clip remains as one of the most-used items of all time.</span><br />

If the doors opened inward, people might pile up at the exit as everyone pushed to get through at once instead of stepping back to allow space for the door to be opened.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The front <strong><span style="color: red;">doors of private homes mostly open inwards</span></strong> because they sometimes have to be removed from the hinges in to allow furniture to be moved in. If the hinges were on the outside, burglars could remove them easily. Since there are fewer people in a home, there’s no danger of a pileup at the door in case of fire.</span><br />

But that should not come as a surprise because both his mother and wife was deaf and perhaps Bell – who also was a speech teacher to the deaf – was only considering them.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When Bell passed away in 1922, every telephone served by the Bell system in the USA and Canada was silent for one minute.</span><br />

It kills a lot more people than ALL forms of cancer tumors put together. In fact, it kills more people than war or accidents. Cardiovascular diseases and ischemic heart disease <strong><span style="background-color: white; color: blue;">cause more than 40% of all deaths</span></strong>, according to the </span><a href="http://www.who.int/gho/ncd/en/index.html"><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">World Health Organization</span></a><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">.</span><br />
