  Introduction Candlelight glows through the carved face of a jack-o'-lantern. Halloween, also called All Hallows' Eve, takes place on 31 October. It is a time when people dress up in costumes, go trick-or-treating and carve jack-o'-lanterns from hollowed-out pumpkins. Several ancient festivals held in the autumn helped create the holiday that exists today.   Origins of the Holiday In ancient times, the holiday was marked by customs started by pagans, who were people who did not believe in one god. It was believed that on the last night of October, the spirits of the dead roamed the Earth. To scare them away, the pagans lit bonfires. In ancient Rome the festival of Pomona, the goddess of fruits and gardens, occurred at about this time of year. This festival was associated with the harvest of food crops, and nuts and apples were roasted before huge bonfires as part of the celebration. However, this festival also had an evil aspect to it because ghosts and witches were thoug...

  Introduction The universe is everything that exists, including objects and energy, throughout time and space . Earth, the sun and the rest of the solar system are only a very small part of the universe. The size of the universe is difficult to imagine. It is so large that light from very distant objects in the universe must travel many billions of years before reaching Earth. The universe is also called the cosmos. Cosmology is the branch of science that studies the universe as a whole. Astronomy is another name for the study of the universe.   The Milky Way and Other Galaxies The sun is in a group of stars known as the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy is a large system of stars, gas and dust. Until the early 1900s scientists did not know for certain that there were galaxies outside the Milky Way. By using powerful telescopes, scientists now estimate that the universe has billions of galaxies. The Milky Way galaxy alone contains more than 100 billion stars. Some galaxies are la...

  With five or more pointed arms, the marine animals called sea stars look like drawings of stars. They are often called starfish, which is misleading because a sea star is not a type of fish. Sea stars belong to the scientific group called Echinodermata, meaning ‘spiny skinned'.   Where Sea Stars Live Sea stars live in all oceans except those of the polar regions. A large number of the approximately 1,800 species, or kinds, of sea stars can be found in the northern Pacific Ocean. They can live at sea level or at depths of hundreds of feet.   Physical Features Sea stars come in many colours, including brown, red, orange and pink. While most adult sea stars are about 20–30 centimetres (8–12 inches) across, some kinds may reach up to 65 centimetres (25 inches). The body of a sea star consists of a central disk and a number of arms extending outwards. Both the disk and the arms are covered with short spines. In addition, some sea stars are covered with pincerlike organs call...

Introduction The jellyfish is an unusual sea creature. Soft-bodied and lacking a skeleton, it has none of the features of a fish . More than 90 per cent of its body is like jelly.   Where Jellyfish Live Jellyfish are found in all oceans, and some disk-shaped ones can be seen along the shoreline. Certain species are found mainly in tropical and subtropical seas. Others prefer cooler waters. Most jellyfish live at or near the surface of the sea, though some dwell on the bottom.   Physical Characteristics Jellyfish range in size from 2 centimetres to 2 metres (1 inch to more than 6 feet) in diametre. Their bodies are made up almost entirely of water. A typical jellyfish is umbrella-shaped; it may have a few or many tentacles. It swims with the help of simple muscles on its underside. A network of nerves controls these muscles, which contract like the closing of an umbrella. The tentacles, lined with stinging cells, are capable of stunning small animals. Some jellyfish have simple...

 Zebras are mammals that are known for their black and white stripes. They are members of the horse family of animals. Human activities have reduced the number of zebras found in the wild. However, efforts have been made to preserve zebra populations by breeding the animals in captivity and releasing them into the wild.   Where Zebras Live There are three species, or types, of zebra: Burchell's zebra, Grevy's zebra, and mountain zebra. Burchell's zebras are found in the rich grasslands of eastern and southern Africa. Grevy's zebras live on dry, sparsely wooded plains and low hills in parts of Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia. Mountain zebras inhabit Namibia and a few areas in western South Africa. Both Grevy's and mountain zebras are endangered.   Physical Features Zebras look similar to horses. They stand between 120 and 140 centimetres (47 and 55 inches) tall at the shoulder. Each species of zebra has its own pattern of stripes. Burchell's zebras have broad stripes...
