Galileo Galilei did not invent the telescope, but he was the first to use it systematically to observe celestial objects, especially the moon. And since the September 29th Super Moon is a week old, this moon has begun to wane. But don’t let the waning moonlight find you in the dark about the good works of the Forney Education Foundation!

Such figures are sobering, but it's important to recognize that breast cancer survival rates have improved dramatically in recent decades, providing hope to the millions of women who may be diagnosed with the disease in the years to come.
Plants are resilient beings. Think about the tiny green leaves sprouting in sidewalk cracks and street edges you’ve seen as you walk past. A tiny spot of soil, a bit of water now and then, and a seed sprouts into a growing, albeit tiny, plant.
