Sputnik, about the size of a basketball, was launched on October 4, 1957 to worldwide fanfare. This satellite was not a satellite as we know them today, but it was the beginning of a world of new technology. The launch of this satellite was soon followed by the U.S. on January 31, 1958, when they launched Explorer I. This satellite was responsible for the discovery of magnetic radiation belts around the Earth. This program was a continual program of Explorer spacecraft that launched successfully and were a useful part of scientific studies.

Great Window Sitters from Flowering Plants
October 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment
Annuals are a variety of plant which grows and blooms only once in its lifetime, meaning they must be replaced annually. While this certainly has its drawbacks, annuals also have many advantages over other plants like perennials. For one their cost is much less, being grown primarily from seeds which can produce thousands of plants with just a single packets of seeds. You’re also not restricted by having the exact same plants in your garden every year if you’d rather have a change of scenery each year. Their bloom period is quite long, and they’re also great for cutting.
