That's something that only happens about once every 25,000 years. Scientists predict when the earth and sun lineup with the center of the Milky Way Galaxy might cause a global catastrophe as the world shifts, and the North and South poles end up on the equator. As global catastrophe

Since when it was determined that electricity could be generated from the sun, the power industry has taken slack for not considering it as a viable addition to their generation fleet.

The earth is only one of the many planets which is bathed in the sun's overflowing energy. Every second the world receives 95.8 trillion watts of power…just think about that for a minute.

Are We Too Dependent on Technology? Eric Tracy ENG 122 Angela Temple May 3rd, 2010 Are We Too Dependent on Technology? If you were to ask somebody what a computer was sixty years ago they would look at you look at you puzzled.

central temperature, and surface temperature increase; then it is a main sequence star where pressure and gravity are balanced and nuclear energy is being generated in the core. It takes forty to fifty million years for a star to reach this stage. The Sun is a main sequence star (McMillan, 2011). Stars spend approximately eighty percent of their lives on the main sequence before evolving into something else. A star leaves the Main Sequence when it has exhausted most of the hydrogen in its core
