Blue And Gold Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

What will happen when the Earth's magnetic poles flip? I don't know, but I heard Santa's been interviewing penguins to see if they can pull a sleigh.

@ Dutch Fridge Magnets
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.

"Hey, Juniper—what's the difference between a pessimist and a magnet?"
"I don't know, Emily. 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
Magnetic fields can cause paper clips to become temporary magnets attracting other paper clips. In the absence of the permanent magnet, the paper clips lose their magnetic properties.

Saturn, Jupiter, Neptune and Uranus all have their own magnetic fields.

@ Abstract Solar System
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.

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.

@ Turquoise Northern Lights
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

"Slushie, why did the bear's magnetic personality make him so popular?"
"I don't know, Juniper—why?"
"He was a polar bear!"

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

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
Ferrite is a ceramic compound composed of iron oxide and other elements (strontium or barium). Among the applications of ferrites are refrigerator magnets and small electric motors.

Industrial Electromagnet
A scrap yard utilising an industrial strength electromagnet to deal with metal components.

@ Industrial Electromagnet
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.
