Bones in the Human Body
Did you know that half of the bones in your body are located in your hands and feet? Infants have around 300 bones, while adults only have 206. The human body consists of two groups of bones, with your palm resembling one of them. The bones in your head are the largest and strongest bones in your face, protecting your brain from bumps and knocks. Meanwhile, the rib cage protects your heart and lungs, and can be damaged by accidents, sports, or even a powerful sneeze. The longest, heaviest, and strongest bone in the human body is the femur. The patella, also known as the kneecap, and the fibula, the outer and thinner bone of the lower leg, provide attachment for muscles but don’t give much support and strength to the leg tibia. The tibia, a large bone located in the lower leg, is also known as the shin bone. The patellas are thick, circular, triangular bones that cover and protect the surface of the knee joint. The fibulas provide attachment for the inner and outer bone of a lower leg of the leg. The tibia provides support for muscles. The femur is the thick and thinner bone of the lower part of the upper part of the knee of the lower kneecap. The fibula’s main purpose is to protect the leg. The shank bone, or the tibia, supports the knee.
Fun Facts About Space
Did you know that the nearest star to Earth after the sun is a red dwarf star called Proxima Centauri? It is the most common type of star in the Milky Way. Comets are one of the rarest objects in the solar system and are often known as the dirt. Giant and supergiant stars are extremely big, have the shortest lifespan, and shine the brightest. Red dwarf stars, on the other hand, are relatively smaller in size compared to other stars and burn at a lower temperature, which helps them have a long sustainable life, some say a trillion years.

Comets: Magical Reflectors of Light
Astronomers believe that comets are leftovers from the beginning of the solar system. Comets do not have their own light but they are reflectors of light, making them appear magical when they reflect light from the sun. The name “comet” was given by Aristotle, meaning “hair of the head”. The most famous comet, Halley’s Comet, will be visible in the skies in 2061.
But don’t worry, you don’t have to wait that long to see one. The next time you see a comet zooming in, it might be me! Check out this week’s episode of The Astronomer with Jeff Foxworth to see more.
Sharks: Victims of Misconceptions
Not all sharks are man-eaters and deliberately hunt humans, which is not completely true. People claim that shark fins are tasty and have a lot of nutritional value, which is absolutely untrue. Sharks kill approximately six humans in one year, whereas humans kill about 100 billion. Sharks also help maintain the balance of life since they are at the top of the food chain. There are approximately 500 species of sharks, out of which white sharks, tiger sharks, and bull sharks are the most dangerous ones. Sharks have an extremely strong sense of smell, with almost two-thirds of their brain dedicated to the sense of smell.
Humans are their biggest predators. Sharks kill about 10 billion fish per year, while humans kill about 50% of the marine population. It’s time to dispel some of these misconceptions and appreciate these creatures for their crucial role in the ecosystem.
Migratory Birds: Traveling to Escape Harsh Winter Weather
Migratory birds are those birds that travel from one place to another at regular intervals over long distances, migrating to escape the cold harsh winter weather in search of food and a warm, cozy shelter. There are various types of migratory birds and resident birds.
The record holder for covering the longest distance is the Arctic Tern, which covers approximately 44,000 miles. This is almost twice the circumference of the Earth! These birds are crucial to the ecosystem as they keep the marine population in check and help maintain the balance of life.
