Egyptian boats were made from papyrus and reeds.<br />
• The world's earliest known plank-built ship, made from cedar and sycamore wood and dated to 2600<br />

used at a London intersection to control the flow of horse buggies and pedestrians.<br />
Transistors<br />
More than a billion transistors are manufactured... every second.<br />
VCR's<br />
The first VCR, made in 1956, was the size of a piano.<br />

they were destroyed by terrorists.<br />

E-Mail<br />
The first e-mail was sent over the Internet in 1972.<br />
Eye Glasses<br />
The Chinese invented eyeglasses. Marco Polo reported seeing many pairs worn by the Chinese as early as<br />
1275, 500 years before lens grinding became an art in the West.<br />
Glass<br />
If hot water is suddenly poured into a glass that glass is more apt to break if it is thick than if it is thin. This is<br />
why test tubes are made of thin glass.<br />
Hard Hats<br />
Construction workers hard hats were first invented and used in the building of the Hoover Dam in 1933.<br />
Hoover Dam<br />

Nuclear ships are basically steamships and driven by steam turbines. The reactor just develops heat to boil<br />
the water.<br />
Oil<br />
The amount of oil that is used worldwide in one year is doubling every ten years. If that rate of increase<br />
continues and if the world were nothing but oil, all the oil would be used up in 400 years.<br />
Radio Waves<br />
Radio waves travel so much faster than sound waves that a broadcast voice can be heard sooner 18,000 km<br />

Aircraft Carrier<br />
An aircraft carrier gets about 6 inches per gallon of fuel.<br />
Airplanes<br />
• The first United States coast to coast airplane flight occurred in 1911 and took 49 days.<br />
• A Boeing 747s wingspan is longer than the Wright brother's first flight (120ft).<br />
Aluminum<br />
The Chinese were using aluminum to make things as early as 300 AD Western civilization didn't rediscover<br />
aluminum until 1827.<br />
Automobile<br />
George Seldon received a patent in 1895 - for the automobile. Four years later, George sold the rights for<br />
$200,000.<br />
Coin Operated Machine<br />
The first coin operated machine ever designed was a holy-water dispenser that required a five-drachma piece<br />
to operate. It was the brainchild of the Greek scientist Hero in the first century AD.<br />
Compact Discs<br />
Compact discs read from the inside to the outside edge, the reverse of how a record works.<br />
Computers<br />
• ENIAC, the first electronic computer, appeared 50 years ago. The original ENIAC was about 80 feet<br />
long, weighed 30 tons, had 17,000 tubes. By comparison, a desktop computer today can store a million<br />
times more information than an ENIAC, and 50,000 times faster.<br />
• From the smallest microprocessor to the biggest mainframe, the average American depends on over<br />
264 computers per day.<br />
• The first "modern" computer (i.e., general-purpose and program-controlled) was built in 1941 by Konrad<br />
Zuse. Since there was a war going on, he applied to the German government for funding to build his<br />
machines for military use, but was turned down because the Germans did not expect the war to last<br />
beyond Christmas.<br />
• The computer was launched in 1943, more than 100 years after Charles Babbage designed the first<br />
programmable device. Babbage dropped his idea after he couldn't raise capital for it. In 1998, the<br />
Science Museum in London, UK, built a working replica of the Babbage machine, using the materials<br />
and work methods available at Babbage's time. It worked just as Babbage had intended.<br />

UN wants both sides to settle the dispute through discussion, but the problem is on what basis the discussion can take place. On Kashmir issue, <st1:country-region w:st="on">India</st1:country-region> and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Pakistan</st1:place></st1:country-region> had fought three wars in addition to three minor wars. </span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Background of Problem:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The problem started in 1947 when British were leaving the India after the partition of sub-continent. Pakistan demanded an independent state to be called as Pakistan. When Pakistan became independence, they attacked princely states of Jammu and Kashmir in the guise of tribal Pathans on 20th October, 1947. Since the Mahraja by that time had not decided to join India, the Indian Army did not intervene. It is one of the greatest mistakes in the history that, the Indian Government under the so-called Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru, did not think of protecting the Kashmir boundaries, till the Mahraja of Jammu and Kashmir asked India for help and finally joined India on 26th October 1947. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">By that time, Pakistan had occupied half of the Kashmir i.e, Baltistan, Sakardu, Hunza and Gilgit. The UN Security Council has suggested the Plebiscite in Kashmir. India had given a permission to maintain Law and order situation in Jammu and Kasmir. During the last 56 years a lot of demographic changes took place. Non-Muslims were driven out from the Pakistan occupied areas of Kashmir. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">In the current Demograpic changes, there are nine million people in Indian Kashmir, about six million are Muslims, and the rest three million are Buddhist, Hindus and Sikhs. Muslims are still in minority in Jammu. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The dispute is mainly on the Indian part, as Pakistan wants it on the ground that majority of the population is Muslim and according to “Two Nation Theory”, put forward by the founding fathers of Pakistan. India itself declared a Secular state, yet it had accepted the partition of India and recognized Islamic Republic of Pakistan. That logically means, India also believes in Two Nation theory, which is exactly the reverse to the ideal of secularism of India. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Right of Self-Determination:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The UN Resolution on Kashmir has nothing to do with the “Right of Self-Determination” for kashmiris, because they think that there are only two options either to join Indian or Pakistan. There is no third option of Independence or what they call Right of self determination. If it is so, then why should not the right to be extended to other parts of India? Then it should be applicable for all the religions, tribes and linguistic groups. In that case, there will be no independent country, not even India or Pakistan.</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Resolution of Dispute:</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Although list of proposal for the resolution of Kashmir is quite large but the following major possible solutions has put forward by the leadership of both sides from time to time to resolve the dispute of Kashmir. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1. Plebiscite</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">2. Line of Control (LOC) as International Border</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">3. Independent Kashmir</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">4. United Nations Trusteeship</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">5. Good Friday Agreement</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">1. Plebiscite: </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">United Nations Resolution on August 1948 proposed the plebiscite option for the resolution of Kashmir dispute. The Resolution laid down the principles and the procedures for the free and impartial plebiscite. Both India and Pakistan accepted the United Nation Proposal. However, later differences arose over the interpretation in different clauses of Resolution especially on the issue of demilitarization and disarmed of “Kashmir forces”. India suggested that Azad Kashmir Forces be disbanded and the authority of maintenance of Law and Order situation and administrative responsibility be given to Indian Government. Pakistan, on the other hand, was in favor of withdrawal of both sides of forces from Kashmir. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">2. Line of Control (LOC) as International Border:</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Resolution of dispute on the basis of line of control or the cease-fire line was proposed by Indian leader after the end of first war of India-Pakistan in 1947-48. The war ended under an agreement worked out through United Nations and the cease-fire was agreed from 1st January 1949. It divided Kashmir into Pakistan administered Kashmir and Northern areas and Indian part of Kashmir. The name of cease-fire line was changed under Simla agreement 1972 as Line of Control. </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Pakistan P.M Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and Indian P.M Indra Gandhi accepted the line of Control but both avoided any written agreement on the issue. It is this reason that all Pakistani leaders from Liaqat Ali Khan to President Pervaiz Musharraf opposed the proposal “ LOC is a part of Problem, we have fought three wars on this issue as such acceptance of LOC as a boundary line is out of Question”.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I -INTRODUCTION</span></span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Eye (anatomy), light-sensitive organ of vision in animals. The eyes of various species vary from simple structures that are capable only of differentiating between light and dark to complex organs, such as those of humans and other mammals, that can distinguish minute variations of shape, color, brightness, and distance. The actual process of seeing is performed by the brain rather than by the eye. The function of the eye is to translate the electromagnetic vibrations of light into patterns of nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>II -THE HUMAN EYE</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The entire eye, often called the eyeball, is a spherical structure approximately 2.5 cm (about 1 in) in diameter with a pronounced bulge on its forward surface. The outer part of the eye is composed of three layers of tissue. The outside layer is the sclera, a protective coating. It covers about five-sixths of the surface of the eye. At the front of the eyeball, it is continuous with the bulging, transparent cornea. The middle layer of the coating of the eye is the choroid, a vascular layer lining the posterior three-fifths of the eyeball. The choroid is continuous with the ciliary body and with the iris, which lies at the front of the eye. The innermost layer is the light-sensitive retina.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The cornea is a tough, five-layered membrane through which light is admitted to the interior of the eye. Behind the cornea is a chamber filled with clear, watery fluid, the aqueous humor, which separates the cornea from the crystalline lens. The lens itself is a flattened sphere constructed of a large number of transparent fibers arranged in layers. It is connected by ligaments to a ringlike muscle, called the ciliary muscle, which surrounds it. The ciliary muscle and its surrounding tissues form the ciliary body. This muscle, by flattening the lens or making it more nearly spherical, changes its focal length.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The pigmented iris hangs behind the cornea in front of the lens, and has a circular opening in its center. The size of its opening, the pupil, is controlled by a muscle around its edge. This muscle contracts or relaxes, making the pupil larger or smaller, to control the amount of light admitted to the eye.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Behind the lens the main body of the eye is filled with a transparent, jellylike substance, the vitreous humor, enclosed in a thin sac, the hyaloid membrane. The pressure of the vitreous humor keeps the eyeball distended.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The retina is a complex layer, composed largely of nerve cells. The light-sensitive receptor cells lie on the outer surface of the retina in front of a pigmented tissue layer. These cells take the form of rods or cones packed closely together like matches in a box. Directly behind the pupil is a small yellow-pigmented spot, the macula lutea, in the center of which is the fovea centralis, the area of greatest visual acuity of the eye. At the center of the fovea, the sensory layer is composed entirely of cone-shaped cells. Around the fovea both rod-shaped and cone-shaped cells are present, with the cone-shaped cells becoming fewer toward the periphery of the sensitive area. At the outer edges are only rod-shaped cells.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Where the optic nerve enters the eyeball, below and slightly to the inner side of the fovea, a small round area of the retina exists that has no light-sensitive cells. This optic disk forms the blind spot of the eye.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>III -FUNCTIONING OF THE EYE</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">In general the eyes of all animals resemble simple cameras in that the lens of the eye forms an inverted image of objects in front of it on the sensitive retina, which corresponds to the film in a camera.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Focusing the eye, as mentioned above, is accomplished by a flattening or thickening (rounding) of the lens. The process is known as accommodation. In the normal eye accommodation is not necessary for seeing distant objects. The lens, when flattened by the suspensory ligament, brings such objects to focus on the retina. For nearer objects the lens is increasingly rounded by ciliary muscle contraction, which relaxes the suspensory ligament. A young child can see clearly at a distance as close as 6.3 cm (2.5 in), but with increasing age the lens gradually hardens, so that the limits of close seeing are approximately 15 cm (about 6 in) at the age of 30 and 40 cm (16 in) at the age of 50. In the later years of life most people lose the ability to accommodate their eyes to distances within reading or close working range. This condition, known as presbyopia, can be corrected by the use of special convex lenses for the near range.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Structural differences in the size of the eye cause the defects of hyperopia, or farsightedness, and myopia, or nearsightedness. See Eyeglasses; Vision.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">As mentioned above, the eye sees with greatest clarity only in the region of the fovea; due to the neural structure of the retina. The cone-shaped cells of the retina are individually connected to other nerve fibers, so that stimuli to each individual cell are reproduced and, as a result, fine details can be distinguished. The rodshaped cells, on the other hand, are connected in groups so that they respond to stimuli over a general area. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The rods, therefore, respond to small total light stimuli, but do not have the ability to separate small details of the visual image. The result of these differences in structure is that the visual field of the eye is composed of a small central area of great sharpness surrounded by an area of lesser sharpness. In the latter area, however, the sensitivity of the eye to light is great. As a result, dim objects can be seen at night on the peripheral part of the retina when they are invisible to the central part.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The mechanism of seeing at night involves the sensitization of the rod cells by means of a pigment, called visual purple or rhodopsin, that is formed within the cells. Vitamin A is necessary for the production of visual purple; a deficiency of this vitamin leads to night blindness. Visual purple is bleached by the action of light and must be reformed by the rod cells under conditions of darkness. Hence a person who steps from sunlight into a darkened room cannot see until the pigment begins to form. When the pigment has formed and the eyes are sensitive to low levels of illumination, the eyes are said to be dark-adapted.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">A brownish pigment present in the outer layer of the retina serves to protect the cone cells of the retina from overexposure to light. If bright light strikes the retina, granules of this brown pigment migrate to the spaces around the cone cells, sheathing and screening them from the light. This action, called light adaptation, has the opposite effect to that of dark adaptation.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Subjectively, a person is not conscious that the visual field consists of a central zone of sharpness surrounded by an area of increasing fuzziness. </span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The reason is that the eyes are constantly moving, bringing first one part of the visual field and then another to the foveal region as the attention is shifted from one object to another. These motions are accomplished by six muscles that move the eyeball upward, downward, to the left, to the right, and obliquely. The motions of the eye muscles are extremely precise; the estimation has been made that the eyes can be moved to focus on no less than 100,000 distinct points in the visual field. The muscles of the two eyes, working together, also serve the important function of converging the eyes on any point being observed, so that the images of the two eyes coincide. When convergence is nonexistent or faulty, double vision results. The movement of the eyes and fusion of the images also play a part in the visual estimation of size and distance.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>IV -PROTECTIVE STRUCTURES</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Several structures, not parts of the eyeball, contribute to the protection of the eye. The most important of these are the eyelids, two folds of skin and tissue, upper and lower, that can be closed by means of muscles to form a protective covering over the eyeball against excessive light and mechanical injury. </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The eyelashes, a fringe of short hairs growing on the edge of either eyelid, act as a screen to keep dust particles and insects out of the eyes when the eyelids are partly closed. Inside the eyelids is a thin protective membrane, the conjunctiva, which doubles over to cover the visible sclera. Each eye also has a tear gland, or lacrimal organ, situated at the outside corner of the eye. The salty secretion of these glands lubricates the forward part of the eyeball when the eyelids are closed and flushes away any small dust particles or other foreign matter on the surface of the eye. Normally the eyelids of human eyes close by reflex action about every six seconds, but if dust reaches the surface of the eye and is not washed away, the eyelids blink oftener and more tears are produced. On the edges of the eyelids are a number of small glands, the Meibomian glands, which produce a fatty secretion that lubricates the eyelids themselves and the eyelashes. The eyebrows, located above each eye, also have a protective function in soaking up or deflecting perspiration or rain and preventing the moisture from running into the eyes. The hollow socket in the skull in which the eye is set is called the orbit. The bony edges of the orbit, the frontal bone, and the cheekbone protect the eye from mechanical injury by blows or collisions.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>V -COMPARATIVE ANATOMY</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The simplest animal eyes occur in the cnidarians and ctenophores, phyla comprising the jellyfish and somewhat similar primitive animals. These eyes, known as pigment eyes, consist of groups of pigment cells associated with sensory cells and often covered with a thickened layer of cuticle that forms a kind of lens. Similar eyes, usually having a somewhat more complex structure, occur in worms, insects, and mollusks.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Two kinds of image-forming eyes are found in the animal world, single and compound eyes. The single eyes are essentially similar to the human eye, though varying from group to group in details of structure. The lowest species to develop such eyes are some of the large jellyfish. Compound eyes, confined to the arthropods (see Arthropod), consist of a faceted lens, each facet of which forms a separate image on a retinal cell, creating a moasic field. In some arthropods the structure is more sophisticated, forming a combined image.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The eyes of other vertebrates are essentially similar to human eyes, although important modifications may exist. The eyes of such nocturnal animals as cats, owls, and bats are provided only with rod cells, and the cells are both more sensitive and more numerous than in humans. The eye of a dolphin has 7000 times as many rod cells as a human eye, enabling it to see in deep water. The eyes of most fish have a flat cornea and a globular lens and are hence particularly adapted for seeing close objects. Birds’ eyes are elongated from front to back, permitting larger images of distant objects to be formed on the retina.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>VI -EYE DISEASES</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Eye disorders may be classified according to the part of the eye in which the disorders occur.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The most common disease of the eyelids is hordeolum, known commonly as a sty, which is an infection of the follicles of the eyelashes, usually caused by infection by staphylococci. Internal sties that occur inside the eyelid and not on its edge are similar infections of the lubricating Meibomian glands. Abscesses of the eyelids are sometimes the result of penetrating wounds. Several congenital defects of the eyelids occasionally occur, including coloboma, or cleft eyelid, and ptosis, a drooping of the upper lid. Among acquired defects are symblepharon, an adhesion of the inner surface of the eyelid to the eyeball, which is most frequently the result of burns. Entropion, the turning of the eyelid inward toward the cornea, and ectropion, the turning of the eyelid outward, can be caused by scars or by spasmodic muscular contractions resulting from chronic irritation. </span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The eyelids also are subject to several diseases of the skin such as eczema and acne, and to both benign and malignant tumors. Another eye disease is infection of the conjunctiva, the mucous membranes covering the inside of the eyelids and the outside of the eyeball. See Conjunctivitis; Trachoma.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Disorders of the cornea, which may result in a loss of transparency and impaired sight, are usually the result of injury but may also occur as a secondary result of disease; for example, edema, or swelling, of the cornea sometimes accompanies glaucoma.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The choroid, or middle coat of the eyeball, contains most of the blood vessels of the eye; it is often the site of secondary infections from toxic conditions and bacterial infections such as tuberculosis and syphilis. Cancer may develop in the choroidal tissues or may be carried to the eye from malignancies elsewhere in the body. The light-sensitive retina, which lies just beneath the choroid, also is subject to the same type of infections. The cause of retrolental fibroplasia, however—a disease of premature infants that causes retinal detachment and partial blindness—is unknown. Retinal detachment may also follow cataract surgery. Laser beams are sometimes used to weld detached retinas back onto the eye. Another retinal condition, called macular degeneration, affects the central retina. Macular degeneration is a frequent cause of loss of vision in older persons. Juvenile forms of this condition also exist.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The optic nerve contains the retinal nerve fibers, which carry visual impulses to the brain. The retinal circulation is carried by the central artery and vein, which lie in the optic nerve. The sheath of the optic nerve communicates with the cerebral lymph spaces. Inflammation of that part of the optic nerve situated within the eye is known as optic neuritis, or papillitis; when inflammation occurs in the part of the optic nerve behind the eye, the disease is called retrobulbar neuritis. When the pressure in the skull is elevated, or increased in intracranial pressure, as in brain tumors, edema and swelling of the optic disk occur where the nerve enters the eyeball, a condition known as papilledema, or chocked disk.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">For disorders of the crystalline lens, see Cataract. See also Color Blindness.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>VII -EYE BANK</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Eye banks are organizations that distribute corneal tissue taken from deceased persons for eye grafts. Blindness caused by cloudiness or scarring of the cornea can sometimes be cured by surgical removal of the affected portion of the corneal tissue. With present techniques, such tissue can be kept alive for only 48 hours, but current experiments in preserving human corneas by freezing give hope of extending its useful life for months. Eye banks also preserve and distribute vitreous humor, the liquid within the larger chamber of the eye, for use in treatment of detached retinas. The first eye bank was opened in New York City in 1945. The Eye-Bank Association of America, in Rochester, New York, acts as a clearinghouse for information.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">I -INTRODUCTION</span></span></b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Fingerprinting, method of identification using the impression made by the minute ridge formations or patterns found on the fingertips. No two persons have exactly the same arrangement of ridge patterns, and the patterns of any one individual remain unchanged through life. To obtain a set of fingerprints, the ends of the fingers are inked and then pressed or rolled one by one on some receiving surface. Fingerprints may be classified and filed on the basis of the ridge patterns, setting up an identification system that is almost infallible.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>II -HISTORY</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The first recorded use of fingerprints was by the ancient Assyrians and Chinese for the signing of legal documents. Probably the first modern study of fingerprints was made by the Czech physiologist Johannes Evengelista Purkinje, who in 1823 proposed a system of classification that attracted little attention. The use of fingerprints for identification purposes was proposed late in the 19th century by the British scientist Sir Francis Galton, who wrote a detailed study of fingerprints in which he presented a new classification system using prints of all ten fingers, which is the basis of identification systems still in use. In the 1890s the police in Bengal, India, under the British police official Sir Edward Richard Henry, began using fingerprints to identify criminals. As assistant commissioner of metropolitan police, Henry established the first British fingerprint files in London in 1901. Subsequently, the use of fingerprinting as a means for identifying criminals spread rapidly throughout Europe and the United States, superseding the old Bertillon system of identification by means of body measurements.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>III -MODERN USE </b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">As crime-detection methods improved, law enforcement officers found that any smooth, hard surface touched by a human hand would yield fingerprints made by the oily secretion present on the skin. When these so-called latent prints were dusted with powder or chemically treated, the identifying fingerprint pattern could be seen and photographed or otherwise preserved. Today, law enforcement agencies can also use computers to digitally record fingerprints and to transmit them electronically to other agencies for comparison. By comparing fingerprints at the scene of a crime with the fingerprint record of suspected persons, officials can establish absolute proof of the presence or identity of a person.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The confusion and inefficiency caused by the establishment of many separate fingerprint archives in the United States led the federal government to set up a central agency in 1924, the Identification Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). This division was absorbed in 1993 by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, which now maintains the world’s largest fingerprint collection. Currently the FBI has a library of more than 234 million civil and criminal fingerprint cards, representing 81 million people. In 1999 the FBI began full operation of the Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS), a computerized system that stores digital images of fingerprints for more than 36 million individuals, along with each individual’s criminal history if one exists. Using IAFIS, authorities can conduct automated searches to identify people from their fingerprints and determine whether they have a criminal record. The system also gives state and local law enforcement agencies the ability to electronically transmit fingerprint information to the FBI. The implementation of IAFIS represented a breakthrough in crimefighting by reducing the time needed for fingerprint identification from weeks to minutes or hours.</span></span><br />

<span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt;">Our Solar System</span></b></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13.0pt;"><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Our solar neighborhood is an exciting place. The Solar System is full of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, minor planets, and many other exciting objects. Learn about Io, the explosive moon that orbits the planet Jupiter, or explore the gigantic canyons and deserts on Mars.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>What Is The Solar System?</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun, outward into the emptiness of outer space. The result of the planets trying to fly away, at the same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in between. Balanced between flying towards the Sun, and escaping into space, they spend eternity orbiting around their parent star.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>How Did The Solar System form? </b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This is an important question, and one that is difficult for scientists to understand. After all, the creation of our Solar System took place billions of years before there were any people around to witness it. Our own evolution is tied closely to the evolution of the Solar System. Thus, without understanding from where the Solar System came from, it is difficult to comprehend how mankind came to be.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Scientists believe that the Solar System evolved from a giant cloud of dust and gas. They believe that this dust and gas began to collapse under the weight of its own gravity. As it did so, the matter contained within this could begin moving in a giant circle, much like the water in a drain moves around the center of the drain in a circle.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">At the center of this spinning cloud, a small star began to form. This star grew larger and larger as it collected more and more of the dust and gas that collapsed into it.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Further away from the center of this mass where the star was forming, there were smaller clumps of dust and gas that were also collapsing. The star in the center eventually ignited forming our Sun, while the smaller clumps became the planets, minor planets, moons, comets, and asteroids.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>A Great Storm</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Once ignited, the Sun's powerful solar winds began to blow. These winds, which are made up of atomic particles being blown outward from the Sun, slowly pushed the remaining gas and dust out of the Solar System.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">With no more gas or dust, the planets, minor planets, moons, comets, and asteroids stopped growing. You may have noticed that the four inner planets are much smaller than the four outer planets. Why is that?</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Because the inner planets are much closer to the Sun, they are located where the solar winds are stronger. As a result, the dust and gas from the inner Solar System was blown away much more quickly than it was from the outer Solar System. This gave the planets of the inner Solar System less time to grow.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Another important difference is that the outer planets are largely made of gas and water, while the inner planets are made up almost entirely of rock and dust. This is also a result of the solar winds. As the outer planets grew larger, their gravity had time to accumulate massive amounts of gas, water, as well as dust.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>The Solar System Has Over 100 Worlds</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">It is true that there are only eight planets. However, the Solar System is made up of over 100 worlds that are every bit as fascinating. Some of these minor planets, and moons are actually larger than the planet Mercury!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Others, such as Io, have active volcanoes. Europa has a liquid water ocean, while Titan has lakes, rivers, and oceans of liquid Methane. You can read more about these amazing worlds by clicking here.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Asteroid Belt, The Kuiper Belt, And The Oort Cloud</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">You have probably heard about the Asteroid Belt. This band of asteroids sits between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars. It is made up of thousands of objects too small to be considered planets. Some of them no larger than a grain of dust, while others, like Eros can be more than 100 miles across. A few, like Ida, even have their own moons.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Further out, beyond the orbit of the minor planet Pluto, sits another belt known as the Kuiper Belt. Like the Asteroid Belt, the Kuiper Belt is also made up of thousands, possibly even millions of objects too small to be considered planets. A few of these objects, like Pluto, are large enough that their gravity has pulled them into a sphere shape.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">These objects are made out of mostly frozen gas with small amounts of dust. They are often called dirty snowballs. However, you probably know them by their other name... comets.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Every once in a while one of these comets will be thrown off of its orbit in the Kuiper Belt and hurled towards the inner Solar System Where it slowly melts in a fantastic show of tail and light.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Beyond the Kuiper Belt sits a vast area known as the Oort Cloud. Here within this jumbled disorganized cloud live millions of additional comets. These comets do not orbit the Sun in a ring or belt. Instead, each one buzzes around in a completely random direction, and at extremely high velocities.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Beyond The Oort Cloud</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Sun's solar winds continue pushing outward until they finally begin to mix into the interstellar medium, becoming lost with the winds from other stars. This creates a sort of bubble called the Heliosphere. Scientists define the boundaries of the Solar System as being the border of the Heliosphere, or at the place where the solar winds from the Sun mix with the winds from other stars.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Heliosphere extends out from the Sun to a distance of about 15 billion miles, which is more than 160 times further from the Sun than is the Earth.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>What are asteroids?</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">An asteroid is a large rock in outer space. Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand. Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles (402 million km) of the Sun, contains asteroids that are made of metals.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The outer belt, which includes asteroids 250 million miles (402 million km) beyond the Sun, consists of rocky asteroids. These asteroids appear darker than the asteroids of the inner belt, and are rich in carbon.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Where did the Asteroid Belt come from? </b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Asteroids are left over materials from the formation of the Solar System. These materials were never incorporated into a planet because of their proximity to Jupiter's strong gravity.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Comets</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Among the most brilliant and most rare objects in the night sky. These soaring beacons with their beautiful tails come from the outer realms of the Solar System.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>What are comets?</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">A comet is a small world which scientists sometimes call a planetesimal. They are made out of dust and ice, kind of like a dirty snow ball.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Where do they come from?</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Comets come from two places: The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Many people think that a comet's tail is always following behind it, but actually the coma, or tail, can either be behind the comet or in front of it. Which way the tail is pointing depends on where the Sun is. That's right, the Sun's heat and radiation produce a wind called the Solar Wind, as a comet gets close to the Sun it begins to melt. The gas and dust that melt off are blown away from the Sun by the solar winds. So if a comet is traveling towards the Sun then the tail will follow behind, but if the comet is traveling away from the Sun the tail will be in front of the comet.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Imagine a place far, far away at the very edge of the Solar System. A place where millions of comets can be seen swishing around in every direction. These icy comets are orbiting the Sun in two different places, both of which are very distant. One place is called the Oort cloud, and the other is called the Kuiper Belt.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Why do Comets leave their home in the Oort Cloud or Kuiper Belt?</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">A comet will spend billions of years in the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud. Sometimes two comets will come very close to each other, or even crash into one another. When this happens the comets change directions. Sometimes their new path will bring them into the Inner Solar System.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This is when a comet begins to shine. Up until now the comet has been among millions of others exactly the same, but as they approach the warmer Inner Solar System they begin to melt leaving behind magnificent tails.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Unfortunately, comets don't live very long once they enter the warmer part of the Solar System. Just like a snowman melts in the summer, comets melt in the Inner Solar System. Although it is the most glorious part of their lives, traveling through the Inner Solar System eventually kills them. After several thousand years they melt down to a little bit of ice and dust, not nearly enough to leave a tail. Some even melt away completely.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Would it be safe to fly through the tail of a comet?</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Unlike a recent blockbuster movie showing a space ship flying past giant rocks the size of houses, a comet's tail is actually quite safe. The only thing that would hit your ship would be microscopic pieces of dust.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>The Sun's Name Means:</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Romans called the sun Sol, which in English means sun. In ancient Greece, the sun was called Helios.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Our Sun is not unique in the universe. It is a common middle-sized yellow star which scientists have named Sol, after the ancient Roman name. This is why our system of planets is called the Solar System. There are trillions of other stars in the universe just like it. Many of these stars have their own systems of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Sun was born in a vast cloud of gas and dust around 5 billion years ago. Indeed, these vast nebulae are the birth places of all stars. Over a period of many millions of years, this gas and dust began to fall into a common center under the force of its own gravity.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">At the center, an ever growing body of mass was forming. As the matter fell inward, it generated a tremendous amount of heat and pressure. As it grew, the baby Sun became hotter and hotter. Eventually, when it reached a temperature of around 1 million degrees, its core ignited, causing it to begin nuclear fusion.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">When this happened, the Sun began producing its own light, heat, and energy.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>What is Thermonuclear Fusion?</b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Thermonuclear fusion is the process in which a star produce its light, heat, and energy. This happens at the core of the star. The core is superheated to millions of degrees. This heat travels towards the surface and radiates out into the universe. Through this thermonuclear process, stars "burn" a fuel known as hydrogen. The result is that they create another type of fuel known as helium. However, stars do not burn in the same way that a fire does, because stars are not on fire.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Convection</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Heat rises, while cooler gas falls. Have you ever noticed that your basement is always much cooler than upstairs. The same laws of physics apply within stars. Because heat rises while cooler gases fall, the gas within a star is constantly rising and falling. This creates massive streams of circular motion within the star. This is called convection.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">As the gases near the core of the Sun are heated, they begin to rise towards the surface. As they do so, they cool somewhat. Eventually they become cool enough that they begin to sink back down towards the core. It can take an atom millions of years to complete one complete cycle around a convection stream. As a result of this process, the temperature on the surface of the Sun is around 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, which is much cooler than its superheated core.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Sun Spots </b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">We don't often think of the Sun as having cooler areas on its surface. The Sun is far too hot for an astronaut to ever visit, but there are areas which are slightly cooler than others. These areas are known as sun spots. Sun spots are still very hot. However, because they are slightly cooler than the rest of the surface of the Sun, they appear slightly darker in color. The gravitational forces in Sun spots are also stronger than the other hotter areas. Of course, you cannot look directly at the Sun to see these spots because you would damage your eyes. Astronomers have to use special telescopes with filters and other instruments to be able to see the cooler spots on the surface of the Sun.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Sun spots come and go on a regular basis. At times, there are very few, if any sun spots. At other times there are far more. They generally increase in intensity and then decrease over a period of 11 years. This 11 year cycle is known as the Saros Cycle.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Solar Flares</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">During periods of high solar activity, the Sun commonly releases massive amounts of gas and plasma into its atmosphere. These ejections are known as solar flares. Some solar flares can be truly massive, and contain impressive power. On occasion, these more powerful flares can even cause satellites orbiting the Earth to malfunction. They can also interact with Earth's magnetic field to create impressive and beautiful light shows known as the Northern and Southern lights. In the northern hemisphere, these lights are commonly known as the Aurora Borealis.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Solar Winds</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">As the Sun burns hydrogen at its core, it releases vast amounts of atomic particles, or pieces of atoms, into outer space. These atomic particles along with the Sun's radiation create a sort of wind, known as the solar wind.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">This wind blows particles outward in all directions from the Sun. Even as you read this, there are atomic particles which are traveling from the Sun towards you. Often, particles pass right through your body without you ever realizing it.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Eventually this wind reaches out beyond the Solar System and begins to mix with the winds from other stars. The bubble around the Sun where the solar winds are still strong enough to blow outward is known as the heliosphere (note the Greek name Helios). The area of space where the winds are too weak to continue pushing outward and instead begin to mix with the winds of other stars is known as the interstellar medium.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>The Sun's Family</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Sun is by far the largest object in the Solar System. 98% of all matter within the Solar System is found within the Sun. This means that all the planets, moons, asteroids, minor planets, comets, gas, and dust would all combine to make up only 2% of all the matter in the Solar System. The Sun is so large that the Earth could easily fit inside the Sun a million times.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Because the Sun is so large compared to everything else, it is easily able to hold on to the rest of the matter, causing everything else to orbit around it.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Do you know</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Light from the Sun can reach the Earth in only 8 minutes! This is called the speed of light. The Sun is nearly 93 million miles (approx 145 million km) from Earth.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Earth means:</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">In astronomy mythology, her Greek name was Gaea. Earth was the mother of the mountains, valleys, streams and all other land formations. She was married to Uranus</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>How Big is the Earth? </b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial planets. A terrestrial planet is a dense planet found in the inner Solar System. The diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles. The circumference measured around the equator is 24,901 miles. There are currently almost 7 billion people living on the Earth. About 30% of the Earth's surface is covered with land, while about 70% is covered by oceans.</span><br />
<br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>The Planet</b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">Our planet is an oasis of life in an otherwise desolate universe. The Earth's temperature, weather, atmosphere and many other factors are just right to keep us alive.</span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span"><b>Moons: </b></span><br />
<span class="apple-style-span">The Earth has one moon. Its name is Luna.</span><br />
