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

One theory can be considered is the concept of “captured moon”. This theory states that the Moon was formed somewhere else and was later “captured” by earth. Any leftover planetesimals that lose their orbital energy on their original orbit around the sun can be captured by a planet into their planetary orbit. However in order for it to loose enough orbital energy to be pulled into the planet’s gravitational field, an extended atmosphere consisting of dense gas should exist so that friction causes loss

The City was a neon bonfire. The girl's pink hair glowed. She furrowed her eyebrows when she looked down upon her hands. Strange, scrawling inks climbed up and down her palm, twisting and turning about her fingers in an intricate dance. They resembled snakes, or dragons, or jifarins in her mind. She smiled. She hadn’t seen a jifarin in quite some time. She looked up, and saw the Star of the Day begin to rise. Her vision beheld the dark, cool sky – the stars invisible and hidden by the strange lights

Sunspots are dark spots seen on the surface of the Sun. They vary in size and have been identified since Galileo observed the sun with a telescope for the first time. Sunspots appear dark as they are cooler than their surroundings.4 It is believed that sunspots are actually locations of disturbances in the magnetic field lines on the surface of the Sun, as they are linked by magnetic loops that extend upward into the solar atmosphere. Sunspots normally travel in connected pairs and the area around
