... The smallest red stars, which are called red dwarfs , are by far the most common type of star in our Milky Way Galaxy. Recently, using a big telescope, a team of astronomers has found that rocky planets that are not much bigger than Earth are very common around red dwarfs. ... Since there are about 160 billion red dwarf stars in the Milky Way, this means that there may be tens of billions of worlds in our Galaxy that are not much bigger than the Earth and have oceans. ...

... October 4, 1995 . The Sun Spews X-rays . Credit: Yohkoh Soft X-ray Telescope , ISAS , Japan . Explanation: Our Sun is really very hot. The Sun's outer atmosphere is so hot that it emits much light in the X-ray band, which was unexpected. X-rays are usually emitted from objects having a temperature in the millions of degrees, not the mere thousands of degrees of the Sun's surface. The above X-ray picture shows the Sun one particularly active day in August of 1992. ...

. You can compare any two versions of a file that is under the control of SCCS with the sccsdiff command: /usr/sccs/sccsdiff -r version -r version s. filename . Using this command produces a line by line difference between the two versions of the file. Results are shown in the same format as that produced by the diff command. Examples .

... The hotter the gas, the faster they move, and the more energy each of them holds. The free ions and electrons in a plasma behave the same way. Knowing the temperature of the high atmosphere of Earth, or that of the Sun, we can calculate energies expected of ions and electrons found there. However, ions and electrons actually observed in space are often much , much more energetic, and may move at a respectable fraction of the velocity of light (300,000 km/sec or 186,000 miles/sec). ...
