Beauty of the Northern Lights

Photo from: http://en.wikipedia.org

To start the year with something beautiful, I posted a photo of an aurora borealis. This wonderful photo is taken    from an article and is shot as it shines above Bear Lake, Alaska. They really look like green curtains in the northern sky. It is said that auroras, like the one  above are caused by the collision of charged particles from solar winds and particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This collision causes the wonderful scenery. It can only be seen near the poles because of Earth's magnetosphere. I hope you enjoy it.

Just a bunch of apple facts

Hey guys, It has been another month for me to fill the blog with lots of things. Anything we can think of, from trees, houses, illusions and silly stuff. After a long time of the blog's silence, I am here to post another thing we are all familiar with, the apple fruit. As promised, here are some facts about the apple, facts that you probably don't know.

*The science of apple growing is called pomology.

*Apples are a member of the rose family.

*25 percent of an apple's volume is air. That is why they float.

*In colonial time apples were called winter banana or melt-in-the-mouth.

*Apples account for 50% of the world's deciduous fruit tree production.

*The largest apple picked weighed three pounds.
