... We can help students grasp the significance of Hubble's extremely keen eye, and learn a bit about angles and math in the process, with the following in-class activity. ... Looking through binoculars or telescopes allows us to magnify a small section of the sky. To measure sizes or distances in that small section, astronomers divide a degree into 60 smaller pieces called arcminutes, and further subdivide minutes into 60 smaller sections called arcseconds. ... 30 feet = . ... 36 seconds . ...

This diagram illustrates a drop cap layout using the :first-letter pseudo-class. However, unlike the previous diagram, the text begins with punctuation. There are 5 lines of text. The first line begins with a large double quote mark (") followed by a large, italic capital "A" that spans three lines. The rest of the text flows around the '"A': the first three lines lie to its right and the last two below it (aligned with the left side of the double quote mark). ...
