Everyone has their own wall, they have built and it is not until someone special comes along and removes the wall will you see the real person inside.

When the speaker says “you” he is indicating that there is a specific person who can “break down” his wall. Someone who loves and care about him. When the poem talks about breaking down a wall it is…

If you lay out the lyrics of Pink Floyd 's song "Time" without the accompanying music, many questions and observations come to mind. One of which why is there no…

The moon is the brightest object in the night sky. On some nights, the moon looks like a shining circle of light. On others, it looks like a thin, silver fingernail. The moon does not make its own light. The light we see comes from the sun and bounces off the moon. If the moon and Earth were side by side, the moon would look like a tennis ball next to a basketball. It looks bigger than the stars and as large as the sun because it is closer to Earth than any other natural object in space. But…

study them because the depth at which they form. If a diamond did form from coal, however, it would be a very impure one. Dr. Harold King wrote on Geology.com that the impact of an asteroid crashing onto the Earth’s surface can create insanely high temperature and pressure needed to create the diamond. Diamonds have actually been found near some impact sights. Scientists have also discovered diamonds inside of meteorites that have crashed into Earth. There are many scientific…

A feature identifiable through my telescope is the Mare Tranquillitatis or The Sea of Tranquility. Once thought to be an ocean on the Moon. According to NASA, its equatorial position and smooth fields of basaltic lavas was ideal for the first manned lunar landing. Mare Tranquillitatis has a diameter of proximally 873km. When view from Earth, it appears dark this is because the crater has been flooded with mare basalts. Mare Crisium (the sea of Crises), a “nectarine basin (about 3.9 billion…
