The Alchemy Of The Heavens offers an exciting and accessible survey of what we know about our galaxy. The home of the earth, the sun, and countless other stars, the Milky Way has long been an object of human fascintation, but it's been in the last forty years that astromoners and astrophysicists have made the most startling discoveries about our galaxy. Author Ken Croswell reveals that the Milky Way formed as many earlier galaxies collopsed and smashed together; that may of the elements in the galaxy--including the iron and carbon that course through our bodies--were born in exploding supernovae; that in all likelihood there is a massive black hole at the center of the galaxy, with a million times more mass than the sun, and that the Milky Way's oldest stars preserve the elements created in the big bang, thereby serving as "fossils" of the universe's earliest days. A captivating journey through the modern astronomy of the Milky Way, Croswell shows us how a deeper understanding of the nature and working of the galaxy can offer larger clues into the origins of the universe itself.Binding Type: Paperback

Good sunscreen.
We put this sunscreen on and it worked as advertised. The sun didn't stand a chance.

Works Great!!!
Both items work great!!! No heavy smell and I like the convenience of a stick for my face and spray for my body.

Great sunscreen! The cream one doesn’t work in the little rollers though.
This is a great sunscreen especially if you are going to be sweating or in the water a lot. Unfortunately the cream version of this didn’t work in the solar buddies little rollers as it was too thick. Otherwise it’s a great buy! Love the stick and spray.

Best there is.
This is a great skin protector when fishing. Doesn't wah off too fast either. I applied it at 7 am. & 1pm, on a fishing trip and didn't get sunburn.
