Orion (The Hunter)


  Orion

       Orion (also known as the hunter) is a constellation which is located on the celestial equator. It is a constellation which is visible throughout the world. It is one of the most recognizable constellations in the night sky. It's name refers to Orion, hunter in Greek Mythology.


      The brightest stars in Orion are Rigel, Betelgeuse and a blue-white and red Supergiant. Orion is easy to find because of it's belt (Orion's belt). Orion can be easily seen in the night sky from November to February each year.

    Orion is a very useful constellation because it is used to locate other stars. It can be used to locate Castor and Pollux (constellation: Gemini), Procyon (constellation: Canis Minor), Aldebaran (constellation: Taurus) and Sirius (constellation: Canis Major).

Andromeda?


                                ANDROMEDA GALAXY   
                         
   The Andromeda galaxy (also known as M31 or NGC 224) is a spiral galaxy which is approximately 2.5 million light years away from the earth. From our galaxy, it will take 100 years for light to reach Andromeda. It means that if a light appeared in Andromeda, we will see that light 100 years after it's appearing. Known to be earth's twin galaxy, Andromeda is the largest galaxy in the local group. Although it is the largest in the Local Group, Milky Way contains more dark matter and could be the most massive in the grouping. It is also the nearest spiral galaxy to our galaxy The Milky Way. Getting it's name from where in the sky it appears, Andromeda was named after the mythological princess Andromeda. In 2006, the Spitzer Space Telescope revealed that Andromeda Galaxy contains one trillion stars. It is almost twice the number of stars in Milky Way.

Coca Cola

Harmful Coca Cola


            Many people like to have the famous soft drink Coca Cola. Like all other soft drinks, Coca Cola is bad for health. According to www.enpetals.com, we should not drink more than one bottle of Coca Cola at a time.
           It contains Carbon Di Oxide, sugar, acidity, soda, caffeine, calories, preservatives and artificial coloring. 330 ml of Coca Cola contain around 160 calories. You can also get urine problems with Coca Cola. The caffeine in Coca Cola is a diuretic. A diuretic is a drug that speeds up the rate of urine production. The caffeine also affects your nervous system and the brain's function. Coca Cola colours your teeth and also makes them weak.The carbon di oxide in coca cola is not good for your health. There was a competition in Delhi university "who drank the most coke?" the winner drank 8 bottles and died on the spot because of too much carbon di oxide and not enough oxygen in the blood (http://www.enpetals.com/2010/12/frankly-speaking-soft-drinks-do-not.html).
                 For all these reasons, you should never drink coca cola or any other soft drinks. 


                                                               SAY NO TO COCA COLA


Experiment on Coca Cola weakening your teeth

Things needed: a glass of water, a glass of Coca Cola and two teethes.
Step 1: put both teethes in both glasses
Step 2: keep it in some place untouched for two weeks
Step 3: take out the two teethes and try to crush them with a hammer

Observation:  the tooth in coca cola breaks into pieces but the tooth in water does not break.

Conclusion: the tooth in coca cola gets crushed into pieces because coca cola makes your teeth weak. Water does not make your tooth week and thus the tooth in water does not get crushed.
