The size of the sun in comparison

It is the fire of life. It can be kind but it can get angry. But it never throws its weight around. It is the sun. And although it is 330,000 more massive than earth and contains 99.8% of the mass in our solar system, it is small in comparison with some other stars.

The sun never cease to amaze us with its theatrics, its lava flares dancing across its surface in a ballet of nuclear fusion, sometimes leaping millions of miles into the air. And although the sun is big, its intense heat and light makes it difficult to capture good images with normal instruments. So NASA scientists use an Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager and an Atmospheric Imaging Assembly detector to view the ultra-violet (UV) and extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUV) wavelengths released by the sun. The resulting images are spectacular.

Earth in comparison to the sun

Earth’s distance from the sun varies between 91.4 million miles – in January – and 94.4 million miles – in July. The average distance of 92,955,887.6 miles (149, 597, 870.7 kilometers) is called 1 astronomical unit (AU), a measurement that is used to report distances to other planets and stars as well. In short, it’s not a weekend drive.

NASA puts the size of earth to the sun in perspective like this: Suppose the radius of Earth were the width of an ordinary paper clip. The radius of the sun would be roughly the height of a desk, and the sun would be about 100 paces from earth.

Bibi wa miaka 92 ana mimba ya tangia mwaka 1948 mpaka leo

Huang Yijun hivi sasa akiwa na umri wa miaka 92 alienda hospitali baada ya kusumbuliwa na maumivu ya tumbo ndipo tatizo lake lilipowaacha madaktari midomo wazi.

Daktari aliyemfanyia uchunguzi bibi huyo alipigwa na butwaa baada kugundua kuwa bibi huyo mwenye umri wa miaka 92 alikuwa ana mimba.

Huang alizidi kumpagawisha daktari huyo baada ya kutoa maelezo ya mimba hiyo.

Huang alisema kuwa mwaka 1948 alipokuwa na ujauzito mtoto wake alifia tumboni. Baada ya kutakiwa atoe dola 150 na hospitali aliyopelekwa ili kukitoa kiumbe hicho tumboni, Huang alikataa kutoa kiasi hicho cha fedha na kuamua kurudi nyumbani kwake.

Kwa kupuuzia kutoa kiumbe hicho alichokuwa nacho tumboni Huang alinyamaza kimya bila kuwaambia ndugu zake kwa miaka yote hiyo.

Ukweli wa mambo umekuja kujulikana baada ya miaka 60 baada ya bibi huyo kuzidiwa na maumivu makali ya tumbo.

"Katika miaka yangu 40 ya udaktari wangu sijawahi kukutana na jambo kama hili, kiumbe kilicho tumboni inabidi kiondolewe haraka iwezekanavyo, kwa muda wote huo Huang kuwa hai pia n

Aliyeiba Mtoto Toka Kwenye Mimba ya Mwenzake Afungwa Maisha

Mwanamke wa nchini Marekani ambaye alikuwa na shauku ya muda mrefu ya kuwa na mtoto, amehukumiwa kwenda jela maisha baada ya kuiba kichanga toka kwenye tumbo la mwanamke mjamzito. Andrea Curry-Demus, 40, alipatikana na hatia ya kumuua mwanamke mjamzito Kia Johnson, 18 baada ya kulipasua tumbo lake na kisha kuiba kichanga kilichokuwa tumboni mwake na kujifanya yeye ndiye aliyejifungua kichanga hicho. Curry-Demus akisomewa hukumu yake aliigeukia familia ya Kia na kuwaambia "Naomba mnisamehe". "Naiomba radhi familia yake", alisema Curry-Demus kabla ya kumgeukia jaji na kusema "Nimekosa". Mama yake Kia, Darlene Lee, aliridhishwa na hukumu iliyotolewa ya kifungo cha maisha jela akisema kuwa hakutaka Curry-Demus ahukumiwe adhabu ya kifo kwakuwa anataka ateseke kwa uovu alioufanya. "Nataka ateseke na aione sura ya mwanangu kila siku anapoamka, afikirie kitendo alichofanya". Hili si tukio la kwanza la Curry-Demus kujaribu kuiba kichanga toka kwenye tumbo la mwanamke mjamzito, miaka 20 iliyopita, Curry-Demus alihukumiwa kwenda jela miaka 10 baada ya kumchoma na kisu tumboni mwanamke mjamzito akiwa na nia ya kulipasua tumbo lake na kuiba kichanga chake. Katika tukio la hivi karibuni Curry-Demus aliiongopea familia yake kuwa yeye ni mjamzito baada ya kumlaghai Kia na kujifanya rafiki yake. Alikuwa akitamba kwa marafiki zake kuwa yeye ni mjamzito akiwaonyesha picha ya Ultrasound aliyoiiba toka kwa Kia na kisha kuibandika jina lake. Baada ya kutimiza azma yake ya kuiba kichanga cha Kia, aliiambia familia yake kuwa amejifungua mtoto kabla ya muda wake ingawa vipimo vya hospitali havikuonyesha kama aliwahi kuwa mjamzito. Alitiwa mbaroni baada ya maiti ya Kia kugundulika nyumbani kwake baada ya majirani kulalamikia harufu kali toka nyumbani kwake. Kichanga alichokiiba kilinusurika maisha yake na kiliwahishwa hospitali kwa matibabu zaidi.

Matiti Yenye Uzito wa Kilo 12 Yamlaza Kitandani

Julia Manihuari [29] mama wa watoto wanne wa nchini Peru alisumbuliwa na ugonjwa wa ajabu ambao uliyafanya matiti yake yawe makubwa sana na kufikia ukubwa wa saizi N. Matiti yake yalikuwa na uzito wa kilo 12 hali iliyomfanya ashindwe kuendelea na shughuli zake za kila siku na kutumia muda mwingi kitandani. Julia alianza kuona mabadiliko kwenye matiti yake baada ya kujifungua mtoto wake wa tatu miaka saba iliyopita. Matiti yake yalizidi kuwa makubwa siku hadi siku. Alipojifungua mtoto wa nne, matiti yake yalizidi kuwa makubwa zaidi, titi la kushoto lilikuwa na uzito wa kilo tano wakati la kulia lilikuwa na uzito wa kilo saba. Wakati alipokuwa akisimama matiti yake yalikuwa yakimzidia uzito na alipokuwa akilala uzito wa matiti yake kifuani ulimfanya apumue kwa tabu. Kwa miaka kadhaa Julia aliendelea kuteseka na hali hiyo kwakuwa yeye na mumewe ni wakulima maskini na hawakuwa na uwezo wa kulipia gharama za matibabu. Julia hatimaye alifanikiwa kupata tiba mwaka huu baada ya wafadhili kujitokeza baada ya habari kuhusiana na mateso yake zilipotolewa kwenye magazeti. Madaktari nchini Peru walifanikiwa kuyafanyia operesheni matiti yake na kuyapunguza kufikia ukubwa wa saizi B. Julia hivi anaishi maisha ya furaha baada ya kuondokewa na uzito wa matiti yake uliomtesa kwa miaka mingi sana.
