    OUR SOLAR SYSTEMby Rick Dandes

    Ever since the dawn of man, there has been a fascination with the stars. But it wasnt until the invention of the telescope that a true mapping of the sky began. Of course now, with space-age telescopes mounted on deep-space probes, we know a lot more about the universe. Take a jour-ney into space with Tidbits, as we explore the wonders of our own solar system.

    How old is our solar system? About 4.6 billion years old, give or take a few million years. Since the Earth is constantly resurfacing itself, we cant determine exactly how old it is by examining the surface, but theres another way to find out. Meteorites, which date back to the formation of the solar system, have been raining down on Earth for millions of years. Scientists have sampled meteorites and learned that theyre all about 4.6 billion years old. That means that everything in the solar system formed around the same time.

    Until the telescope was invented around 1608, sky watchers used their naked eyes, careful record keeping and basic mathematics to help them understand the heavens.

    TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

    NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

    Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.

    Actually, National Boss Day was created in 1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her fathers birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

    Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; theyd be responsible for any poor performers.

    Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they dont reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the holiday is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

    SOLAR SYSTEM (continued): Examples of ancient Romes contribution to

    space science are the names of the planets. The association of certain planets with certain attributes of gods or goddesses harkens back to the Sumerians, but Roman names were directly appropriated. Examples are Mercury, Venus, Mars and Saturn.

    Our solar system only has eight planets. Not the nine planets you grew up with. Thats because the International Astronomical Union reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet in 2006.

    To qualify as a planet, an object needs to orbit the sun, have enough mass to pull itself into a spherical shape, and have cleared out its orbit of other material. Its this third requirement that Pluto hasnt fulfilled. Pluto is a fraction of the mass in its orbit, while the other planets are millions of times more massive than everything else in their orbits.

    Pluto may have been downgraded from planet to dwarf planet, but guess what? Its not the only dwarf planet found in our solar system. Three others have been discovered: Ceres, Eris and Makemake. Dwarf planets are objects that orbit the sun and have enough mass to form a sphere, but they share their orbit with other objects. As telescopes improve, more dwarf planets will probably be discovered. There might eventually be more dwarf planets than planets.

    Unlike Earth, Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen and helium, so its density is only 0.13 that of Earth. While it has heavier materials in the core, it is the only planet in the solar system that is less dense than water.

    Titan is the largest of Saturns moons. It is the second largest moon in the solar system. In fact, it is larger than both Mercury and Pluto.

    SOLAR SYSTEM (continued): Scientists are particularly interested in Titan

    because its one of the few known moons with its own dense atmosphere. Titans atmosphere is also thought to be very similar to what Earths atmosphere was a long time ago. By learning about Titan, well learn about our own planet.

    Saturns moon Hyperion is shaped sort of like a hamburger patty and rotates chaotically, probably due to a recent collision.

    The asteroid belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Sometimes called minor planets, asteroids are rocky objects that are the remnants of the solar system when it formed. Over 90,000 asteroids of various sizes have been found by scientists.

    Often referred to as the final frontier of the solar system, the Kuiper Belt, which is a disc-shaped area made up of icy debris, is located at a distance of 7.5- 9.3 billion miles (12 -15 billion kilometers) from the sun.

    Ancient astronomers used to think the Earth was the center of the universe. It wasnt until the 16th century that Nicolaus Copernicus first presented the idea that the sun was at the center, not the Earth.

    All the objects in the solar system orbit the sun in a counter-clockwise direction. This matches the theory that the solar system formed all at once from a cool cloud of hydrogen. As the gas came together, it began to spin, so that the sun collected in the middle, surrounded by an accretion disk of gas and dust. All the planets and other material in the solar system formed within this rotating disk.

    Our sun is a typical star, middling in size, but big enough to burn steadily for 10 billion years.

    SOLAR SYSTEM (continued): The sun contains 99.8 percent of the mass in the

    solar system. And the sun is approximately 72 percent hydrogen, so most of the matter in the solar system is hydrogen, with the remaining amount being mostly helium, oxygen and carbon. Everything else, like metals and rocks, is just a tiny fraction of a fraction of the solar systems mass.

    How big is our sun? It has a diameter of 864,000 miles (1,391,000 kilometers), and more than one million Earths could fit into the sun. It is located 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth.

    The heat the sun gives us derives from nuclear fusion at its core.

    There are only a few stars within 10 light-years of our sun. The closest Proxima Centauri, 4.2 light-years away. Barnards Star is 5.9 light-years away; Wolf 359 is 7.8 light-years away; Lalande 21185 is 8.3 light-years away; Sirius is 8.6 light-years away; Luyten 726-8 is 8.7 light-years away; and finally Ross 154 is 9.7 light-years away.

    The sun is just one star in 200 billion in our galaxy, the Milky Way. Doesnt that give you perspective? Our world is just one planet orbiting one star in a galaxy of 200 billion stars.

    So, are we alone? Astronomers now estimate that the universe contains roughly trillions of stars organized into billions of galaxies.

    Spacecraft from Earth have visited or orbited every planet in the solar system, and more are on their way to visit some of the dwarf planets. Man has explored the sun, the moon and many asteroids. And now some of the oldest spacecraft still active NASAs Voyager spacecrafts have almost reached the suns heliosphere.

    Scientists believe the ocean and its interactions with the atmosphere are key to studying climate change. To better understand these interactions, they have identified three important areas in climate research. They look at the states of the ocean and sea-ice, which includes their temperature, salinity, current speeds and sea-surface elevation, and study their changes at and below the surface. They also look at the state of our planets atmosphere, which includes its temperature, humidity and wind patterns, and study how it is affected by the changes in the ocean. These interactions between the atmosphere and ocean directly affect the weather.

    Ice giants Uranus and Neptune are the most distant planets in the primary solar family, and the only major planets discovered in modern times. Both are considered giant planets, but they are much smaller than Jupiter and Saturn. Uranus has about 63 times the volume of Earth and Neptune 58. Thats big, but nothing compared to Jupiter, which could hold 1,300 Earths.

    Jupiter came down to Earth one day and decided to help two criminals rob a bank. Bad luck for them: They got caught, and the three found themselves in court. The judge sentenced the two earthlings to 15 years, and Jupiter was a bit shocked when he was sentenced to ten years. But your honor, said Jupiter, I didnt even take part in the robbery. Yes, said the judge. But you helped them ... planet!

    It was British playwright Tom Stoppard who made the following observation: "Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art."

    You've probably had some experience with hail at some point in your life, but probably not with hail like this: The heaviest recorded hailstone in the world fell in Bangladesh in 1986; it weighed a whopping 2.25 pounds. The largest hailstone, which fell earlier this year in South Dakota, measured 8 inches in diameter. Be glad your car -- or your head -- wasn't in the way.

    William Henry Harrison, the country's sixth commander-in-chief, had the shortest tenure of any United States president. He died of pneumonia just 32 days after taking office. In 1666, the Great Fire of London destroyed 13,200 homes, 87 parish churches and St. Paul's Cathedral, and it left some 70,000 people homeless. It also provided the impetus for the beginning of the insurance industry. After the conflagration, Nicholas Barbon, a well-to-do doctor, realized how much of his wealth was flammable. A year after the Great Fire, he began the world's first insurance company. The men and women who venture into space have to adapt themselves to changing environments both when they enter space and when they return home. Many astronauts and cosmonauts say that one of the most difficult things to adjust to when returning to earth from space is the fact that when you let go of something, it falls to the ground. If you're a longtime football fan, you might not be surprised to learn that between 1983 and

    Scammers Swarm Holiday Shoppers

    What better time than the holidays to relieve you of your cash? That's how the scammers think. While you're busily making purchases, they're looking for opportunities to make some of their own -- on your dime.Here are some tips to help you avoid being a victim: In the mall, wear slacks (jeans are best) and keep your wallet in a front pocket. Leave purses in the trunk of the car. Don't take all your credit cards with you. Only take the ones you'll use that day. Keep an eye on clerks when they have your credit card in their hands. It only takes a second for one of them to slide your card through a reader

    and capture your number. Be aware of your surroundings. If someone has a cell phone near you, they might be trying to capture an image of your credit-card number. If you need to pull

    cash out of an ATM, do it at your own bank before you shop. Even then, look at the machine carefully to make sure there is no card reader attached to the front. After you've been shopping, if you've used a credit card, call the automated number the next morning and be sure that there are no charges that you don't expect. Use the Internet to track sales and gather comparison information, but unless you absolutely must, don't order online. If you're truly Net-savvy and must make online purchases (and your virus protection is updated daily), stick with the big companies. Even then your information isn't necessarily secure. Be sure that "https" appears in the site's address or a locked

    padlock in the corner of the screen, and use a different sign-in name and password for each site where you make purchases. Look for sellers who have a contact phone number and call instead, if possible. Don't let mail stay overnight in the box outside your house. Some scammers will go for full identity theft at this time of the year, and your mailbox can provide lots of information. A credit-card statement will tell them a lot about you: your name, address, what kind of balance you keep, the account number and the credit availability. With that information, they can order more cards in your name.

    Television Quiz Shows

    Television quiz shows have been around as long as television itself. Actually, quiz shows pre-date TV and were a popular form of entertainment on radio. Major Bowes Original Amateur Hour was

    one of the first national radio programs to feature contestants competing for prizes. Other early radio quiz shows included Professor Quiz (CBS 1936), which awarded $25 cash prizes to anyone who could stump the professor. A large number of quiz shows appeared on radio in 1937 and 1938. Pot O Gold (NBC 1939) gave $1,000 to anyone who answered a telephone call during the show.

    The 1954 Supreme Court ruling in Federal Communications Commission v. American Broadcasting Co., Inc. 347 U.S. 284, said that quiz shows were not a form of gambling. This paved the way for their introduction to television.

    On June 7, 1955. CBS TV premiered The $64,000 Question, the biggest jackpot program in radio-TV history up to that time. With host Hal March, the Tuesday night program drew an amazing 84.8 percent share of the TV audience, a feat unheard of these days. Marine Captain Richard S. McCutchen became a national celebrity as an expert on cooking. Joyce Brothers would star as an expert on boxing.

    Herb Stempels scripted loss on Twenty-One to the more-popular Charles Van Doren occurred on December 5, 1956, and involved his deliberately getting the answer to a question about an Academy Award-winning movie wrong. (The correct answer was Marty, one of Stempels favorite movies.)
