**  Sun/ Sol, closest star to planet Earth. The Sun is a huge mass of hot, glowing gas. The strong gravitational pull of the Sun holds Earth and the other planets in the solar system in orbit. The Sun’s light and heat influence all of the objects in the solar system and allow life to exist on Earth. Astronomers believe that the Sun is about 4.6 billion years old and will keep shining for about another 7 billion years.

 

*** The third planet in order from the Sun/Sol with an orbital period of 365.26 days, a diameter of 12,756 km/7,926 mi, and an average distance from the Sun of 149,600,000 km/93,000,000 mi.  Surrounded by an atmosphere composed primarily of nitrogen and oxygen, it is the only planet in the universe known to support life.

 

**** Capital of Jilin Province since 1954, center for China's automotive industry, with a total population of 7.6 million and an urban population of 3.53 million people.

***** Grandpa's Restaurant an Earth location proving food items to the Changchun community serving the popular dishes called Hamburger, Pizza and Pasta.

This color image of the Earth, dubbed 'Pale Blue Dot', was taken by Voyager 1 spacecraft  from a distance of more than 4 billion miles from Earth.  Changchun may be seen in the upper right portion of that 'Pale Blue Dot'

"The Powers of Ten" (1977), a short documentary film will be shown before Cosmos.  This nine minute film created for IBM, depicts the relative scale of the Universe and the microscopic inner universe according to an order of magnitude based on a factor of ten.  It is a fascinating film.
