A galaxy is a collection of stars and other astronomical bodies, including planets,

comets and asteroids, held together by gravity.

There are many different physical forms and measurements of galaxies. These include
the spiral, barrel-spiral and elliptical. Our galaxy, called the Milky Way, is approximately
100,000 light years in width and contains over 100 billion stars.
The Centre of galaxies can contain many young, very hot stars as well as older stars.
Swirling clouds that have been energized by magnetic forces also exist in the Centre.
At this point in time, no one knows the exact number of galaxies in the universe.
Astronomers are, however, learning more and more about them every day.

Green, or common, iguanas are among the largest lizards in the Americas, averaging
around 6.5 feet (2 meters) long and weighing about 11 pounds (5 kilograms).

They are also among the most popular reptile pets in the United States, despite being
quite difficult to care for properly. In fact, most captive iguanas die within the first year,
and many are either turned loose by their owners or given to reptile rescue groups.

The green iguana’s extensive range comprises the rain forests of northern Mexico,
Central America, the Caribbean Islands, and southern Brazil. They spend most of their
lives in the canopy, descending only infrequently to mate, lay eggs, or change trees.

Primarily herbivores, iguanas are active during the day, feeding on leaves, flowers, and
fruit. They generally live near water and are excellent swimmers. If threatened, they will
leap from a branch, often from great heights, and escape with a splash to the water
below. They are also tough enough to land on solid ground from as high as 40 feet

The king cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world. It has special muscles and
ribs in its neck that spread out to form a “hood” when the cobra feels threatened. This makes
the snake look bigger than it really is, and may help scare away predators.
King cobras make a deep, loud hissing sound. Like the rattle of the rattle snake, the
hiss is a warning signal that can be heard from a distance. The message is : ‘I am big, bad,
and will bite you if you come any closer !”
Most cobras are known to protect their eggs after laying them, but the female king
cobra does even more. She uses her body and head to move leaves around to build a nest.
After she lays her eggs, she covers them with more leaves, and stays on top of the nest until
the eggs hatch.

The Komodo dragon , also known as the Komodo monitor , is a large species of lizard
found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A
member of the monitor lizard family ( Varanidae ), it is the largest living species of lizard.It
can grow up to 3 metres in length and weigh up to around 70 kilograms. Their unusual size
has been attributed to island gigantism,since there are no other carnivorous animals to fill the
niche on the islands where they live
Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals.
Their group behavior in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world. The died of big Komodo
dragons mainly consists of deer, through they also eat considerable amounts of carrion.
Mating begins between May and August, and the eggs are laid in September. About
twenty eggs are deposits in abandoned megapode nests or in a self-dug nesting hole. The eggs
are incubated for seven to eight months, hatching in April, when insects are most plentiful.
Young Komodo dragons are vulnerable and therefore dwell in trees, safe from predators and
cannibalistic adults. They take about eight to nine years to mature, and are estimated to live
for up to 30 years.

Global Warming is the rise in the average temperature of the earth atmosphere. It
Began since 1980 after revolution Industry has applied, Industry started to produce many
polution. Based on IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change) Data shown that the
earth atmospheric temperature has increased 0.76OC IN 2005.
There are many causes of Global Warming, but the most influence is green house
gasses. Human activities such as burning fossil fuel, produce waste gas which is carbon
dioxide. Carbon dioxide gas convert the earth atmosphere which make the sunlight that
entered to the earth are trapped and cannot be reflected to the space. As the result, the
temperature of the earth are raising and earth is getting hotter.
An Increase in global warming will cause some problem such as increasing huricanes
due to increasing speed of wind, massive crop failure as effet of climate change. Species
extinction and increasing the sea level as the result of melting process in polar.
Latest news from green peace about global warming is so shocking. They estimated
that in 21 century there will be increasing in the sea level for about 19-95 cm, increasing of
sea level about 1 metre can cause one island can be lose. As the example is losing island in
Egypt around 1 presence, and some smaal island in Indonesia.
