White Daisy Egg
My pets are in awe of these beautiful eggs—they would love to try to paint their own one year. Easter and spring are times of joy as the earth awakens, plants are pushing forth from the soil, and the days are becoming warmer. Many baby animals are born in the spring, and life is burgeoning. May these eggs bring you joy and be a reminder of the earth renewing itself.

@ Magnetised Metal Spheres
I asked Alexa: what’s the difference between light and dark soy sauce? Dark soy sauce is used in Chinese cooking to add colour and flavour to dishes. Light is an electromagnetic radiation within a certain portion of the electro magnetic spectrum.

"What’s the difference between a magnet and a construction site?" asked Dunkle.
"I don't know; what?" responded Niivii.
"A construction site has more poles!"

"You know, I love talking about magnets. But I try not to."
"Why's that, Niivii?" asked Flatts, baffled.
"It's quite a polarizing topic!" responded Niivii.

"Hey, Niivii—what's the difference between a pessimist and a magnet?"
"I don't know, Little Misa Pinkie Pie. What is the difference?"
"A magnet has a positive side!"

Purple and Gold Aurora
Auroras occur when charged particles (electrons and protons) collide with gases in the Earth's upper atmosphere. Those collisions produce tiny flashes that fill the sky with colourful light. As billions of flashes occur in sequence, the auroras appear to move or dance in the sky.

@ Purple and Gold Aurora
The first magnets were discovered by ancient civilisations 2500 years ago. Magnetic compasses were used extensively for navigation in Europe and China during the 12th and 13th centuries CE.

@ Magnetic Levitation Traiin
Magnetic materials are always made of metal, but not all metals are magnetic. Iron is magnetic, so any metal with iron in it will be attracted to a magnet. Steel contains iron, so a steel paperclip will be attracted to a magnet too. Most other metals, for example aluminium, copper and gold, are NOT magnetic.

Turquoise Northern Lights
The aurora can be seen near the poles of both the northern and southern hemisphere. In the north the display is known as the aurora borealis; in the south it is called the aurora australis. What we are seeing in these beautiful displays in the sky are atoms and molecules in our atmosphere colliding with particles from the sun. The aurora's characteristic wavy patterns and curtains of light are caused by the lines of force in the Earth’s magnetic field.

@ Old Fashioned Compass
There are different types of magnets
There are three different types of magnets: electromagnets, air-core magnets, and permanent magnets. There are five types of modern permanent magnets, each made in a different way from different materials with different characteristics. The five types of permanent magnets:
Neodymium
Samarium Cobalt
Ferrite
Alnico
Flexible Rubber

Northern Lights in Green
What causes the different colours in the aurora? Different gases give off different colours when they are heated. The same process is also taking place in the aurora. The two primary gases in the Earth’s atmosphere are nitrogen and oxygen, and these elements give off different colours during an aurora display. The green we see in the aurora is characteristic of oxygen, while hints of purple, blue or pink are caused by nitrogen.

@ Northern Lights in Green
Samarium Cobalt alloys are rare earth magnets, often used in specialist applications such as aerospace.

@ Physics Wallpaper
All magnets produce a magnetic force: this is called a magnetic field. This field travels from a magnet’s north pole to the south pole and is completely invisible to the human eye, however, iron filings can be used to show these fields.
