Sun-day

A new dawn, a new day


And a new blog too!


Check out sheddingnewlight.blogspot.com for my own personal opinions on pretty much anything I can find. Don't fret though, I'm not abandoning this blog.


As the name suggests, it is indeed Sunday! So for today's post, enjoy some great information all about our friend, the Sun . . .


"Only 55% of Americans know that the Sun is star."


"Aztecs believed that the Sun fought darkness every night and that it required blood to give it enough strength to rise again. They gave the blood of prisoners as sacrifices and so sometimes started wars simply to capture prisoners."


"When a mantis shrimp snaps it's claws together, the bubbles from the claws heat up to the temperature of the Sun."




I hope that this post has enlightened you, bringing a few more facts out of the darkness.
So I leave you on this note:
"Why do we see pictures of the Sun wearing sunglasses, when the purpose of sunglasses is to protect your eyes from the Sun?"
