Dear Hank & John

CHAPTER

Exploring Sleep Patterns, Atomic Composition, and Cosmic Rays on Earth and Mars

This chapter delves into the distribution of people on Earth including sleep and wake bands determined by time zones and the impact of aging populations on sleep cycles. It further explores the concept of atoms, their seemingly solid structure despite being mostly empty space, and the behavior of particles like electrons and neutrinos. The discussion transitions to cosmic rays, detailing their effects on Earth, the protective role of the magnetic field, and the challenges of radiation on Mars, before delving into Mars news including AFC Wimbledon's player Mattie Stevens and the upcoming exo Mars Rosalind Franklin Rover mission.
