Galaxy

A galaxy is a massive, gravitational bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants, an interstellar medium of gas and dust, and an important but poorly understood component tentatively dubbed dark matter. The word galaxy is derived from the Greek galaxies literally "milky", a reference to the milky galaxy. Examples of galaxies range from dwarf with as few as ten million (107) stars to giants with a hundred trillion (1014) stars,...

Shadow

In Jungian psychology, the shadow or "shadow aspect" may refer to (i) the entirety of the unconscious, i.e., everything of which a person is not fully conscious. (ii) an unconscious aspect of the personality which the conscious ego does not recognize in itself.

Comets

A comet is an icy Small Solar System Body   ( SSSB ) that, when close enough to the Sun, displays a visible coma (a thin, fuzzy, temporary atmosphere) and sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are both due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range from a few hundred meters to tens of kilometers across and are composed of loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles....

Human Heart

The heart is a myogenic muscular organ found in all animals with a circulatory system (including all vertebrates), which pumps blood throughout the blood vessels by repeated, rhythmic contractions. The term cardiac (as in cardiology) means "related to the heart" and comes from the Greek καρδιά, kardia, for "heart". The vertebrate heart is principally composed of cardiac muscle and connective tissue. Cardiac muscle is an involuntary striated...

Respiratory System

Respiratory is the breakdown of absorbed food with the help of oxygen. During this process, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)are released as waste and a lot of energy is produced. This energy is made available to the cells of the body.         Food           +  oxygen    g    carbon dioxide  +  water  + energyC6H12O6   + ...

Constellations

 In modern astronomy, a constellation is an internationally defined area of the celestial sphere. These areas are grouped around asterisks (which themselves are generally referred to in non-technical language as "constellations"), which are patterns formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another on Earth's night sky. There are 88 standard constellations recognized by the International Astronomical Union (IAU )...

The crust of the earth is made up of solid rocks. These rocks are physical and chemical units of matter collected together in the form of great masses. Rocks are of different kinds.They contain different kinds of metals and non-metals. Rocks differ from each other in their shape, size, degree of hardness, texture, color, origin and chemical nature. Kinds of rocks:                      ...
