Fun Facts…Plants & Trees Part 2

Some trees can form communities and are connected below ground, allowing them to share water and nutrition, and even alert one another to attacks by insects.

Oak trees are struck by lightning more than any other tree species. No one knows why.

Two-fifths of all the world’s 64,000 species of trees grow in South America.

There are 380,000 species of plants in the world—and 2,000 more are discovered every year.

African baobab trees manage to survive dry seasons by storing water in their vast trunks. A single tree can store as much as 25,000 gallons of water.

A single saguaro cactus of the American desert, meanwhile, can contain enough water to fill a bathtub 20 times.

Venus fly traps work when a creature lands on them and touches a tiny hair lining inside of the trap’s two hinged leaves. These highly sensitive hairs are properly known as trigger hairs.

The spines on a cactus  are not actually spines-they are modified leaves.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Robert Goddard and Nell
Image Credit: Esther Goddard, from the Clark University archive

Explanation: Robert H. Goddard, considered the father of modern rocketry, was born in Worcester Massachusetts in 1882. As a 16 year old, Goddard read H.G. Wells’ science fiction classic “War Of The Worlds” and dreamed of space flight. By 1926 he had designed, built, and flown the world’s first liquid fuel rocket. Launched 100 years ago, on March 16, 1926 from his aunt Effie’s farm in Auburn Massachusetts, the rocket dubbed “Nell”, rose to an altitude of 41 feet in a flight that lasted about 2 1/2 seconds. In this posed photo Goddard stands next to the 10 foot tall rocket, holding the launch stand frame. To achieve a stable flight without the need for fins, the rocket’s heavy motor was located at the top, fed by lines from liquid oxygen and gasoline fuel tanks at the bottom. Widely recognized as a gifted experimenter and engineering genius, his rockets were many years ahead of their time. Goddard was awarded over 200 patents in rocket technology, most of them after his death in 1945. A liquid fuel rocket constructed on principles developed by Goddard landed humans on the Moon in 1969.

Fun Facts…Plants & Trees Part 1

There are three trillion trees in the world…but 15 billion trees are felled every year, and only five billion are planted.

Trees grow from the top, which is why nest boxes and tree-houses always remain the same height.

Counting the rings inside a tree to assess its age is a process known as dendrochronology.

The world’s oldest tree is a bristlecone pine in Nevada named Prometheus thought to be more than 4,900 years old.

Unlike mammals and other creatures, trees never die of old age and all trees are capable of growing forever so long as they remain supplied with light and water, free from disease, and not harmed by floods, fires, or pests.

The world’s tallest known living tree is a California coastal redwood named Hyperion. It stands just over 380 feet tall.

Because trees absorb carbon dioxide and produce oxygen, they can offset global carbon emissions. However, it would take a forest of 450 individual trees to offset the average carbon output of a single human being.

In 1971, NASA took some tree seeds to the Moon on Apollo 14 and returned them to Earth to see if germinating in space would affect their growth. The trees they planted are now the property of the US Forestry Service.

Astronomy Picture of the Day

Hickson 44 in Leo
Image Credit & Copyright: Peter Kennett

Explanation: Scanning the skies for galaxies, Canadian astronomer Paul Hickson and colleagues identified some 100 compact groups of galaxies, now appropriately called Hickson Compact Groups. The four prominent galaxies seen in this intriguing telescopic skyscape are one such group, Hickson 44. The Hickson 44 galaxy group is about 100 million light-years distant, far beyond the foreground Milky Way stars, toward the northern springtime constellation Leo. The two spiral galaxies in the center of the image are edge-on NGC 3190 with distinctive, warped dust lanes, and S-shaped NGC 3187. Along with the bright elliptical, NGC 3193 (left) they are also known as Arp 316. The spiral toward the lower right corner is NGC 3185, the 4th member of the Hickson group. Like other galaxies in Hickson groups, these show signs of distortion and enhanced star formation, evidence of a gravitational tug of war that will eventually result in galaxy mergers on a cosmic timescale. The merger process is now understood to be a normal part of the evolution of galaxies, including our own Milky Way. For scale, NGC 3190 is about 75,000 light-years across at the estimated distance of Hickson 44.
