QUEEN OF THE NIGHT
She blooms in full, and her beauty is only witnessed by the night sky. By dawn, she wilts even before the sun’s first kiss, with only her fragrant scent left as the ghost of her evening arrival. Known by many names, such as the Princess of the Night or the Queen of the Night, the Cereus cactus is a species of cactus whose flower only blooms at night, typically between the months of July and October. However, one class of Cereus—possibly coming from the species Epiphyllum oxypetalum—blooms one night a year, and enthusiasts of this species make it a point not to miss it. The blossom it produces on the night it blooms is described as being the size of a newborn infant’s head. By dawn, its pristine white petals wilt, and the flower dies, leaving only its strong, fragrant scent that is equally anticipated by many.

From Despair To Hope
The town of Oakridge had seen better days. Once a bustling hub of manufacturing and coal mining, it had fallen into disrepair over the years. The factories had closed, and the coal mines had long since dried up. As the jobs disappeared, so did the families that had called Oakridge home for generations. The town’s streets, once alive with the sounds of children playing and neighbors chatting on front porches, had grown eerily silent. Boarded-up windows and "For Sale" signs dotted the landscape, casting a shadow over a community that seemed to be fading away.

What If We Covered the WHOLE Sahara With Solar Panels?
This map shows the annual sunshine hours across the world. The sahara desert is well known for being the largest hot desert in the world, but it's probably much bigger than you even realize. It spans across ten different countries in three different time zones and receives an abundance of sunlight. There are some notable hot spots in North America, South America, and Southern Africa, but none receives as much as the sahara desert. Most of this China-sized chunk of land receives more than 3,600 hours of sunlight annually. And within that large area lies another area that receives over 4,000 hours of sunlight annually—nearly four times Germany's annual total. This is primarily due to the fact that the Sahara Desert is located almost exactly along the tropic of cancer, meaning that the sun is overhead it for most of the year. Additionally, clouds hardly ever form or even exist over the entire desert, meaning that the sunlight is never interrupted. As a result, the Sahara is the best place on Earth to install solar panels and establish solar farms.
