One would be as B passes in front of A.

Algol is Arabic for demon?
Anyway Algol is in the constellation Perseus who is carrying the head of Medusa.
Algol in the eye of Medusa.
This most certainly would have been a curious sky item.
The binary star Algol-B circles Algol in 2 days, 20 hours, and 49 minutes.
(actually another star Algol-c circles them both in about a two year cycle)
So every 1 day 10 hours and 24.5 minutes you h

She said she has observed areas near solar panels where vegetation is brown and dead because it did not receive enough sunlight."

Egyptian bowling was extremely popular all over the Nile valley. Menes made bowling the national past time in around 3100 BC. But the bowling pins were made from limestone and quit fragile. So teams of labors quarries millions of blocks to facilitate the the growing need for more pins.
The pharaoh Userkaf sucked at bowing and band it across all of Egypt. When asked what to do with all the pin

“Who would have expected a blue sky in the Kuiper Belt? It’s gorgeous,” said Alan Stern, New Horizons principal investigator from Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), Boulder, Colorado.
Sunlight is scattered in all directions by gases and particles in the atmosphere.
Blue scatters the most because it travels shorter as a wavelength.

"Like radio waves, visible light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum. The difference is that viable light has a spectrum 10,000 times larger than radio waves. This means Li-Fi has the potential for enormous capacity. Instead of transmitting information via one data stream, visible light would make it possible to transmit the same information using thousands of data streams simultaneously

"The height of Khufu’s Pyramid is 146 metres, and consists of two million tons of stone and 300,000 blocks. The weight of each block is between 2.5 tons and 15 tons: they could be used to build a three-metre-high wall around France."
WHAT!
The coastline is 3427 km alone. The other borders are 2,889 km. 6316 km total.
Thats 3925 miles...that comes out to 76 blocks per mile.
