John really likes the herb basil. He likes it so much he eats it faster than it grows in the 8 pots he has on his window-sill. John decided he needed to find a way to make the basil grow faster
because he is limited on space. He decided to design an experiment. John took eight seeds
and planted them in eight pots that all received equal amounts of sun and were all spaced 20
centimeters apart. Each day John gave each of the eight plants equal amounts of water using a
large graduated cylinder, depending on how dry the soil was. John then divided the eight
plants into four groups, A-D. For the two plants in Plant Group A, John only gave them water.
For the two plants in Plant Group B, John gave each plant a cup of Miracle-Gro solution mixed
at 25% less than the recommended concentration once a week in place of the water. For the
two plants in Plant Group C, John gave each plant a Miracle-Gro solution mixed exactly at the
recommended concentration once a week in place of water. For the two plants in Plant Group
D. John gave each plant a cup of Miracle-Gro solution mixed at 25% more than the
recommended concentration once a week in place of the water. After 30 day lehimmed
the height of each plant. The results were as follows:

Science27 of the most iconic, jaw-dropping photos of the earth and the moon from spacedave mosher  oct 1, 2018, 11: 13 am etnasa/flickrapollo 11 astronauts took this photo of earth on july 20, 1969.from the ground, earth looks like a boundless fertile plain that beckons to be explored and exploited.but astronauts would beg -  and even plead  - to differ."you realize that people often say, 'i hope to go to heaven when i die,'" jim lovell, an astronaut who flew on the apollo 8 and apollo 13 missions to the moon, previously  told business insider. "in reality, if you think about it, you go to heaven when you're born."lovell has seen first-hand that we live on a tiny rock hopelessly lost in the void. he's also quick to tell you it's the only one we've got - a  fragile spaceship  for more than 7 billion people: "you arrive on a planet that has the proper mass, has the gravity to contain water and an atmosphere, which are the very essentials for life. and you arrive on this planet that's orbiting a star just at the right distance - not too far to be too cold, or too close to be too hot - and just at the right distance to absorb that star's energy and then, with that energy, cause life to evolve here in the first place. in reality, you know, god has really given us a stage, just looking at where we were around the moon, a stage on which we perform. and how that play turns out is up to us, i guess."humanity has recorded photos of earth from hundreds, thousands, millions, and even billions of miles away, some of them taken by lovell himself.these images not only scientists study our dynamic world, but also understand how a habitable planet looks from afar, which aids the search for  more worlds. most importantly, however, the images underscore our peculiar existence on  a mote of cosmic dust.take a moment to ponder 27 of the most arresting images of earth that humankind has ever captured from space.a
