Why you shouldn’t feel guilty when eating chocolates

It’s no secret that everyone loves chocolates—no matter, old or young. And it goes without saying that kids hanker for them and would not mind trading fisticuffs with friends or family over them. The truth is, the whole world loves it. But did you know that eating chocolates can be beneficial to your health? I did not. I always thought they were high in calories, saturated with fat and sugar, and overall very bad for our health. Wrong! Some chocolates are good, too!

An astronaut took this photograph of the Aurora Australis in August 2017. At the time, the International Space Station was moving over the southern Indian Ocean towards the Great Australian Bight and Melbourne, Australia. Click here to see a video of the flight over the aurora. Auroras are created in the upper atmosphere when the solar wind (a stream of charged particles emitted by the Sun) interacts with the Earth’s protective magnetic field. Charged particles within the magnetosphere are accelerated down field lines toward the ionosphere, where they collide with different gases (particularly oxygen and nitrogen) and emit light as a reaction. Auroras often appear as neon green, purple, yellow, or red, depending on the gas molecules being excited. Green, for example, indicates collisions with oxygen. Astronaut photograph ISS052-E-63378 was acquired on August 19, 2017, with a Nikon D4 digital camera using a 22 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facil...
