How Hot is the Sun?
Reference: The sun is a huge sphere of glowing gases that produce energy and light, which make life on Earth possible. The temperature of the sun varies tremendously, and not in ways you might realize. The temperature of the sun at its core is 27 million degrees, but only about 10 million degrees on its surface.

Heart disease risk varies slightly with blood type
From Wire Reports

Potentially good news for the 45 percent of Americans who have Type O blood: Researchers said Tuesday that those people appear to have a slightly lower risk of developing heart disease than their neighbors with Type A, B or AB blood.

Dr. Lu Qi, an assistant professor of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, analyzed heart disease risk in two large, multidecade health studies – reviewing data collected from 62,073 women who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study, which was launched in 1976, and from 27,428 men who took part in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study, launched in 1986.

Adjusting for heart disease risk factors including diet, diabetes status, gender and race, Qi and his colleagues found that study participants with type AB blood had the largest heart disease risk – 20 percent greater than that of people with Type O blood. Type B was next with an 11 percent greater risk, and type A was third with an 8 percent greater risk, the scientists reported.
