Taking a Closer Look at the Sun

a sunset you may only see the beauty behind it. Often times you may not look at a sunset and wonder why the sun sets the way it does. The answer is physics. Physics is in every sunset and makes the sunset the way it is. The first change you see when viewing this stunning phenomenon-taking place is the coloration of the sun.

A Magical Forest The sun is high above me and I walk into the forest in front of me, which I hear calling me. I hear birds chirping and twittering, singing a song. This makes me wonder about birds and where their songs come from. How ancient the song I am hearing really is. As I take a step into the forest, I notice at first the trees, stretching high above the ground, as if in competition with one another, to see who will reach the sky first. Their roots are

The moon, the sky's etermal night light. It's light is as beautiful as the sun itself. But the moon brings something the sun vanquishes, darkness, and the fiercest of predators use its shade to their advantage. But the strongest predator needs no advantage of darkness, no teeth of fangs, for the strongest predator is man. Deep in the forest is a boy on the edge of man hood. He climbs, he hunts, he builds because that is the only life he knows. His body is decorated in different pelts to keep

was sunny and blazing hot, just right to get a sunburn. There were everything you could do to have an enjoyable day. What could be better than soaking up the scorching sun, shopping, playing a round of miniature golf, or taking a swim? Who wouldn’t want to watch a beautiful sunset before bed? Why wouldn’t anyone want to wake up and look outside their window to see the sparkling blue water? Seven days was the amount of time we had to have a pleasant time. The food for dinner was incredibly good, but

Blue Gold Water Wars, is an award-winning film directed by Sam Bozzo. The documentary sends some very important messages; water is a necessary component of all human beings, and its supply is running out faster than we are able to replenish the source. We are mining almost 15 times more groundwater than the amount is being replenished. We are polluting our natural source, destroying habitats (e.g. wetlands), and obstructing rivers that fertile lands. Water Wars encourages us to save water and help

place I will never forget. Like any good resort, Sea Pines is known for its beautiful and extensive beaches. As soon as I get near the coast, I can hear the squawking of seagulls, the crashing of waves, and the low chatter of people. As I get closer, beach goers wash off the sand and salt in the outdoor shower, people are ordering food and drinks at the beach house, and kids lug boogie boards and toys off the beach to their cars.

stranger is coming inside my tent and slaughtering me while I’m asleep. To begin with, when the day started, it seemed that the scenery was beautiful and peaceful. It appeared that the same place can have a different perspective at the drop of the sun. I had never gone camping; it always seemed like a fun thing to do with the right people. My friends wanted to celebrate my seniority and almost graduating, since they were in college themselves, and knew how important senior year of high school was

Salinger and “A Protest Against the Sun” by Steven Millhauser are two different stories that are held in a similar place, the beach. In both stories we have the main characters, Seymour, a retired soldier that felt he didn’t belong to the new society, and Elizabeth, a girl that was trying to be closer to her family.
