If we were to increase our policy deductible from $500 to $2500 the premium savings would approach 30%. If your policy was $2500/yr you could be looking at a savings of as much as $750/yr. That would mean that after just 2.7 years you would be ahead of the game in premium savings!
Why do astronomers put telescopes in space? The Earth's atmosphere is about 120 miles thick and anything we see from the surface of the Earth is distorted by the water vapor and debris that is in the air.
A young person of my acquaintance asked me this question, and I didn't have a good answer. Stars twinkle because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth. As the atmosphere churns, the light from the star is refracted in different directions.This causes the star's image to change slightly in brightness and position, hence twinkle..This is one of the reasons the Hubble telescope is so successful: in space, there is no atmosphere to make the stars twinkle, allowing a much better image to be obtained. Planets do not twinkle the way stars do. young person of my acquaintance asked me this question, and I didn't have a good answer. Stars twinkle because of turbulence in the atmosphere of the Earth.
