Will Cars in the Future Run on Green Gas? Millions of years ago, crude oil was formed. It was made by algae, and somehow then buried deep within the earth. These algae are still capable of producing oil. While it's easy to produce an algae biodiesel, a California company has recently been the first to be successful at refining this algal "green crude" into a high-octane gasoline chemically identical to conventional fuels, and capable of being used in any car made today with no engine modification. The project was stopped in 1996, when crude oil prices dropped, but has recently been revived. In...

... space experts to ponder. While much bigger telescopes live on Earth, the photos that the Hubble Telescope sends back are vastly improved in light of the fact that the telescope is over the impedance brought about by the climate. Up until the Hubble Space Telescope was deployed, all telescopes were earth based and had the inconvenience of peering at stars through the Earth's air. The Earth's climate has a lot of distortion when viewing exceptionally far ... expected 10,000 universes.

Pythagoras paved the way for astronomy by describing the universe and how it all fit together. In about 600 B.C., Pythagoras created possibly the first model of the universe. It was geocentric which meant the objects in space revolved around the earth. In the model the earth ... and all the ethereal bodies were perfect spheres. They also ... ...

... change is because of greenhouse gases or the "green house effect". When the sun emits its light energy, the earth absorbs it and warms the earth, this heat is supposed to be reradiated back into space but because of these green houses gases, the heat is trapped on earth, which in turn drastically changes the climate. The gases that trap the heat from leaving earth are: water vapor, carbon dioxide, ... considered is reduce, reuse, and recycle.
