Beauty of the Cosmos-Nebulas

Carina nebula I spent half of my childhood thinking about the space.Every night observing the sky and reading books,magazines that are related to astroscience. Then one day I learnt about heavenly Nebula s from a magazine.There were so many beautiful pictures of nebulas and I almost couldn't believe such a thing exists.They were more like someone's drawings .I didn't have a way to find more information about nebulas at that time (I was only about 7 years back then),and gradually I forgot it until yesterday.So I'm going to tell you in brief what I learned about nebulas.

Undo-If you could uninvent something what would it be?

I usually do not follow blog prompts,you know.But when I was going through a book with blog prompts I found this interesting topic.If you could un-invent something what would it be? Hmm.A good question and it gave me something to think about.I thought for a while,and decided to see what others answers will be.So I used Omegle spy mode and I got so many answers .Nuclear bomb s, Smartphone s, Xbox , DVD re winder , television , weapons , war and so many others.Most peoples answers were related to weapons and wars.Two people said Pasta and selfie stick :) .One hates pasta and another thinks that selfie sticks apparatus for teens to get more annoying. I was thinking for two days(that's why I didn't post anything for last two days,sorry!),thought a lot about the above answers and what will my answer be.So before telling you my answer,I think I should say something about above answers.This is what I think and if you have another idea you can comment.

A water fuelled car?

Can you believe it?A water fuelled car?I too couldn't believe it.But I saw a one myself from my OWN EYES!!! .People are trying to invent cars which can use alternative sources and some have succeeded.That's why we can see many electric cars on road today.And some are in research such as solar powered cars.Carbon dioxide and unburned carbon emission has become a major environmental issue in the world recently.Daily people buy vehicles,they use their vehicles.People can't stop using vehicles to protect world,right?And soon we will have to find another source not coz people will fell in love with nature,but coz petrol,diesel and gas will finish soon(by 2030 according to some reports).What if someone can invent a car which can run from water?(Not what if,it's already done.That's why I saw it :) ) We (still) have plenty of water.And most of us don't have to pay for water.So it's a free alternative for many people and it's available everywhere(not to ment

3500 tons of garbage,Korea's most successful tourist destination?

                              This is the third post of the Nami island series.I'm really sorry for making you wait.I was really busy because of university admissions. :) I mentioned before that Nami island is all about recycling.Now I will tell you how it happened.        "From weeds to flowers,from noise to rhythm,            from wild flowers to paper,from scenery to elegance" Nami island is not a real island at all.After the completion of Cheongpyeong Dam in 1944 it became an island.In 1965,late chairman Mr.Minn Byeong Do bought this island and he planted Korean pines,cherry trees,white birch and metasequoias on this island.It was used as an amusement park before 2001 and people had came and gone leaving tons of garbage;empty soju bottles,blocks of wood,parts of old buildings,discarded ping pong tables,shards of glass were everywhere.

Horrific memories of a war...

I watched a movie today;Black Hawk Down and it reminded me how my life was 6 years ago .It's not just another bad dream .Wars provide writers,artists and film producers,good plots for their new book,poem or movie,and we enjoy their creations,criticize them .But a real war is no fun. Just destruction.It's not like what you see in newspapers or TV news.When you watch a movie,you think "oh this is really so bad,people should stop fighting always",but after a few days can you even remember you watched such a thing? No .Why?We see many wars in many countries nowadays.It has become a part of our lives to see a bomb blast in a some far away country .Have you ever been a victim of a war?Have you ever lived in a country which has a war? I was .There was a war in my country. But like you people I didn't care until 2007.I was a little girl back then,I also saw wars from newspapers,TV news and even watched movies about wars. I knew there was a war in my country,but I did

An anti cancer diet

Cancer has become a major health issue around the world and we have failed to find a proper solution for cancers yet.So the only thing we can do is to prevent cancers.First of all lets see what is a cancer. What is a cancer? A cancer is an abnormal growth of cells and it is generally thought to develop in 2 major steps,The first triggered by an initiator and the second caused by exposure to a tumor promoter over a period of years. In Japan the incidence of stomach cancer is very high,while that of bowel cancer is low.But when Japanese emigrates to Hawaii this is reversed,the rate of stomach caner is reduced in the next generation. Women living in the United states have a higher rate of breasts cancers than those in Asia. All these maybe related to nutrition.
