Interesting Facts

Almost the entire solar sytem formed 4.6 billion years ago, about the same time as the solar nebula collapsed.
It is thought that a mars sized protoplanet crashed into the earth and the large debris from the planet cooled and formed the moon.

The collison happened well before the earth had any basis of life, and when it was a flaming ball of molten rock.
But this is still a theory of what happened.

Apollo moon landing missions turned up lunar rocks, that have oxygen isotope compositions which are almost the the same as the earth.
This states that the moon is at least 4 billion years old.

The Cicada (Si-Kay-Dah) is a very interesting insect it only comes out every 13 to 17 years they swarm in their millions in tropical climates they are related to Spittlebugs or Froghoppers Appalachian Mountains in the united states they are known as ‘Dry Flies’ because of the dry shells they leave behind.

The Cicada they do not bite or sting and are a delicate snack and the females taste better because they are meatier.
The shells of the Cicadas are employed in china to make Traditional Medicines.

Sugar – The real story

The Canes have large palm like leaves that droop out the root of the plant they collect water and feed it to the root, The sugar canes like lots of water and sunshine but their soil is barely waterlogged.
Sugar Canes are grown for about 11-18 months from planting. The canes are chopped down manually or by machines, over 1,345 million tons of canes are chopped yearly. The sugar canes are fed into machines that slice grind and spray with hot water, extracting their juice, the juice is filtered and concentrated by evaporation under vacuum then crystallised, before being removed from the remaining liquid from centrifuged. The remaining liquid is called “Molasses” which is a useful co-product which can be used for fermentation process or animal feed “Bagasse” is a residual fibre from the cane mainly used for boiler fuel for the factory’s making them more efficient.
Any of the canes impurities and original colour will be removed, (the canes by far make six times more then the sugar beet is producing). The canes are grown in 121 countries, including Brazil and other tropical regions; the UK’s only company to produce sugar of many varieties and flavours, is Tate and Lyle.
The five step process of making sugar.
1. Affination and melting.
2. Carbonation and filtration.
3. Decolourisation.
4. Evaporation and Crystallisation.
5. Separation and Drying.
