"A caped dark figure moves through the trees into a clearing in the wood. She stops in front of an altar prepared in readiness for her arrival and lights the three votive candles on its surface. When the third candle is lit, torches as if by magick, are lit at the edge of the clearing and more hooded figures enter the circle of light.

On the 1st of December, it poured. Curtains of rain were drawn around the bus as it fell heavily, flinging sharp needles in its wake upon the slick ground, before pattering down the sides of the window panes as if they were droplets racing to see who would dissipate first. Outside, ripples were forming on the ground as the bus rolled on by. Some were big circles resembling the spirals of oversized lollipops and some were as small as the size of my palm as they undulated, a pretty sight of monotony

Application of 1st Law to the Orbit aound Sun The closest point to the Sun in a planet's orbit is called perihelion, Rp. The furthest point is called aphelion, Ra. Eccentricity e, of an ellipse is the ratio of distance between the foci to the major-axis of ellipse. The value of ‘e’ for a circle is equal to zero and for an ellipse its value is greater than zero but less than 1. The values of ‘e’ for some planets are listed below. Mercury 0.206 Earth 0.0167 Mars 0.0485 Pluto 0

Imagine a scenario where the entire world was engulfed in war. Where there were no bombs, no soldiers on the ground and not a single trace of a fight whatsoever. The earth looks dead with a blanket of darkness draped across the world from the lack of electricity. There are thousands upon millions of people dying from the lack of basic necessities like clean drinking water, and food. Not from guns or any weapons that can physically harm people. Without any electricity there is no way to develop new

The sun beat down on the salty, turquoise waters. The day was like any other. I could feel the breeze running over my heads and I could hear the constant singing of the gulls. I am Scylla. I live in a cave in the Strait of Messina. Before, I was a beautiful nymph. Then that cursed witch Circe transformed me into this horrible, six-headed beast over a dispute, some 100 years ago. She ruined my life forever. To this day, I still hate her for all of the pain and suffering that she caused me. Just as

Life cycle of a star by Taris Bonner Stars begin as nebulae. Nebulae are clouds of gas and dust that have went through gravitational collapse, under their own gravity, then begin to stick or clump together to become thicker and more dense. Stars then begin to form in the center of the collapsing material. Which then allows its ultraviolet rays to glow or shine making them visible to the eye in color. Nebulae can have a variety of size. They can even be hundreds of light years in diameter, though

The large amounts of carbon dioxide have created a runaway greenhouse effect that brings surface temperatures up as high as 873 degrees Fahrenheit, making Venus the hottest planet in the Solar System, despite the fact that Mercury is closer to the Sun and that much of the Sun's heat and light fail to make it through the thick Venusian atmosphere. Due to this thick atmospheric cover, the temperature on Venus changes very little throughout the year or between day and

Thou Shalt Not Drink Coffee The world is meaningless; the ground beneath one’s feet and the sky above have no meaning. On a good day, the sun jumps with shining rays and emits cool tones of pinks and reds and the ground below is a sandy and grainy paradise and everything seems delightful. Suddenly, the same view is unattainable. The dark skies and rain drops knocking on the roof prevent a good night’s rest; one is gloomy and melancholic, perhaps one would not feel like this if they appreciated
