As we celebrate the Birthday of our Great Nation – let’s look back at exactly where real Liberty and Freedom comes from –

The Fourth of July is this Saturday with fireworks being displayed in many places this weekend. They are so pretty to look at, but very dangerous in the wrong hands. How do fireworks work? All that dazzle, flash, and sparkle is chemistry in motion. A firecracker is a two-staged event set off by gunpowder, chemicals, and a fuse. Light a firecracker and the gunpowder sends it flying. Then the fuse ignites the chemicals...and pow... strontium burns red; barium, green; copper, blue; and sodium, yellow. But remember, all that is dangerous.

Although the Sun has an average temperature of 11,000 degrees Fahreinheit, the moving, churning gases of its surface vary, and its temperature is known to slightly cool. Astronomers are presently perplexed by an extended cool season the Sun is experiencing.
