The night sky, unimaginably deep, is a
breathtaking sight. Some three thousand stars can
be seen with the naked eye, twinkling points of
light that have inspired the human spirit since
the dawn of time. Study of the stars, based on

radio telescopes, and detectors wavelengths can
now reveal extraordinary amounts of information:
size, temperature, chemical composition, internal
structure, distance and rotation rate, among other
factors. One of the most...

the deaths of hundreds of thousands of lives. Now
imagine all of that times a thousand. There you
have a nuclear war, the explosion of a thousand or
more nuclear bombs on the earth. That is what is
estimated would be a nuclear war. All of that
power packed in relatively small (considering the
power they unleash) bombs. The results of a
nuclear war would be devastating. It would be

Introduction To Japanese Grammar And Learning New Vocabulary
1,023 words
Introduction to Japanese Grammar Japanese
sentences are very different from familiar
languages like English and Spanish. Incidentally,
Spanish is very similar to English grammar-wise.
Japanese, on the other hand, uses small words
called "particles" that mark what a word is
supposed to "be" to the sentence. More on
particles later. On the upside though, once you
learn Japanese grammar (it doesn't take as long as
you might think) you can sit back and relax,
because Japanese grammar is very logical...

Plant Cells Genetic Material
329 words
Methods for Genetically Engineering a Plant Two
very different techniques exist for giving a plant
new genetic characteristics. But both share
several steps. Step 1: The DNA that encodes the
genetic information for the desirable trait must
be isolated. At step 2, the different techniques
diverge into an a path and a b path: In Step 2 a,
the new DNA is linked to a circular ring of
genetic material called a transfer plasmid.
Plasmids act like molecular taxicabs that carry
genes from one place to a...

The evolution of the modern atom model took
several years to evolved with contribution from
different scientists. One of these scientists, the
first to come up with a modern model of the atom
is JJ Thomson. Thomson proposes that the structure
of an atom is mainly a sphere. A sphere that is
filled with positive electronic field and contains
tiny particles that has a negative charge. He
called the tiny particles corpuscles. Thomson's
model of the atom is often refer as the plum

Resources Will Eventually Plant And Animal Soil

As Natural Resource Natural Resources As the world
continues to become more and more populated,
resources will begin to be in demand more often.
However, because of the population growth,
resources will eventually become depleted.
According to the food chain, food (being one of
man s greatest resources) will eventually run out
if there are no producers. Producers can t live
without soil. Soil, as strange as it seems, is one
of the most valuable resources the Earth has. Soil
