​​Why does banging your Elbow give you an Electric Shock? The spot where it occurs is called the funny bone. The funny “bone” is actually a long vine of a nerve called the Ulnar Nerve. Between the humerus and the forearm there exists a void, what is called the cubital tunnel, where the nerve is the most vulnerable as at the elbow the nerve is less protected by muscle,fat and skin and can be easily bumped. When you hit your funny bone against something, the unprotected nerve is pressed against the bone. It is the squeezed or irritated ulnar nerve that spouts the waves of pain, emitting the “electric shock”. The waves terrorize the regions innervated by the nerve: the forearm, the pinkie and half of the ring finger. A pinched nerve can start in several places throughout your body, but usually in the joints. When a pinched nerve is in your elbow, it can leave your arm and hand feeling sore, numb, or weak. Pain and tingling sensations to shoot down your forearm. People often describe this sensation as an electric shock like pain typical of an irritated nerve. Usually, it quickly resolves, but it can also cause more persistent symptoms in some people.

​​What is a Constellation? A constellation is a group of stars that make an imaginary shape in the night sky. They are usually named after mythological characters, people, animals and objects. In different parts of the world, people have made up different shapes out of the same groups of bright stars. It is like a game of connecting the dots. In the past creating imaginary images out of stars became useful for navigating at night and for keeping track of the seasons. Because all the stars are at different distances, the constellations would look totally different to inhabitants of another planet orbiting another star. The International Astronomical Union, in 1922, decided it was important to standardize and ratify the modern constellations to facilitate new cataloging and end centuries of confusion and controversy. They established official boundaries for each constellation, carving up the sky into sections. There is no part of the Earth's sky which does not belong to a constellation. There are officially 88 constellations, 48 of which are ancient Greek in origin, the majority of those comprised largely of rehashed ancient Babylonian, Egyptian, and Assyrian stories. The writings of Ptolemy usually provided the official record of these shapes and tales, along with names for the brightest stars, almost all of which are Arabic. The remaining constellations are “modern,” having been written down between the 16th and 18th centuries by various astronomers, especially those exploring the skies of the Southern hemisphere for the first time. Having been recorded during an age of scientific revolution, these new constellations include a great many research instruments: Microscopium, Telescopium, Antlia the air-pump, Fornax the chemical furnace, Pixis the compass, Horologium the clock, etc. The northern skies are more “dense” in stories, with roughly 55 of the 88 constellations visible without moving south of the equator.
