cool Stars facts

Did you know there are more stars than every speck of sand on earth. Each star is about 1 to 10 billion years old. You think our sun is bright there are some stars that are 600,000 times brighter. Did you know that most elements in the human body originated  in stars. If gravity disappeared every star will explode. Stars with Strong gravity will get smaller and smaller and will turn in to a black hole. Amazing fact, a teaspoon of typical white dwarf matter would weigh 5.5 tons. When a big star gets old it explodes and releases as much energy as our sun does in 10 billion years. The largest known star is VY Canis Majoris. It is about 500,000 times larger than our sun. Did you know when you look up in the night sky, the light you see from a star today could be the light shown over a million years ago.

Celiac kid

I am a celiac  meaning I can't eat wheat. Celiac means that if I eat wheat my cilia in my  intestines react and dies. When my celia dies my body does not take in vitamins; that is the long term affect, the short term affect is that my body goes in to a mode where I get a fever and get sick to my stomach. When I was in grade two, I was extremely sick and I missed 50% of the days at school, until in grade three when I got diagnosed with celiac. I can't eat any thing unhealthy like chocolate or chips; because it has an ingredient called modified corn starch. I am very healthy because of my diet. I used to  find my diet hard because if I go to a party and they are serving chips and cake  then I can't eat any thing. But now I am used to it, I have my foods I can eat like gluten free bread with honey or gluten free cakes. Pretty much every restaurant has no food I can eat, except fancy restaurants; then you can ask the chef to make a special dish. The only restaurant that is cheap and  can eat at is Mongolian Village.  For $7 you can make your own dish and get free soup and rice. If you have questions just post it under the comment bar.
