The only thing that can destroy it is intense heat. * * * An ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long. * * * Absolutely pure gold is so soft that it can be molded with the hands. * * * Colored diamonds are caused by impurities such as nitrogen (yellow), boron (blue). Red diamonds are due to deformities in the structure of the stone, and green ones are the result of irradiation. * * * The Cullinan Diamond is the largest gem- quality diamond ever discovered. Found in 1905, the original 3,100 carats were cut to make jewels for the British Crown Jewels and the British Royal family’s collection. • * * Only four important diamond fields have been found -- in Africa, South America, India, and the Soviet Union. * * * A perfume contains between 10 to more than 250 ingredients. * * * Eau de cologne contains about 3 to 5 percent per- fume oil and is used by men. * * * After-shave lotions and splash colognes contain about 0.5 to 2 percent perfume oil and are used by men. * * * Eau de parfum contains about 15 to 18 percent per- fume oil and is used by women. * * * Eau de toilette contains approximately 4 to 8 per- cent perfume oil and is used by women. * * * More than half of American Baby Boomers, 55 per- cent, say that they express themselves through their work.

Ground-rule double © 2007 DBR Media Inc. A Great Big Wreck People worry about asteroids. If one hits Earth—ouch! But that’s nothing: How would you like to be hit by a whole galaxy? It could happen. The Andromeda Galaxy is heading in our di- rection. The Andromeda Galaxy is a great spiral of billions of stars. It looks a lot like our own gal- axy, the Milky Way. In about 3 billion years, astronomers say, the Milky Way and Andromeda will crash together. Earth will be in the middle of a really big wreck. Don’t worry. Getting hit by a galaxy isn’t so bad. Consider the following: A spiral galaxy contains hundreds of billions of stars. Between the stars are great gaps of emptiness. When The ‘Antennae’ galaxies you throw two galaxies to- gether, very few of the stars actually hit each other. They pass un- harmed through the empty gaps. A NASA space telescope named GALEX has been watching galaxies collide. GALEX stands for Galaxy Evolution Explorer. It is not as famous as that other space telescope—the Hubble—but GALEX is a powerful telescope, too. Astronomers using GALEX have a favorite pair of colliding galaxies: “the Antennae.” The Antennae galaxies are passing through each other. The stars are not hitting, but wild things are happening. The two galaxies are being stretched by gravity into strange shapes that look like antennas on top of an ant’s head. Weird! GALEX is giving astronomers a beautiful view of this col- lision and many others. Will the Milky Way and Andromeda end up looking like a strange cosmic bug? GALEX is working on the answer. Find out what else GALEX can see at spaceplace.nasa.gov/en/ kids/galex/whats_older.
