If choosing a peanut oil substitute for deep frying, choose a cooking oil with a higher smoke point. The smoke point marks the temperature at which an oil begins smoking and decomposing. Corn oil, canola oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil and safflower oil all have higher smoke points than peanut oil.
This certainly is an unusual coincidence for the crescent moon to be right there in the days when they are going to be closest together, said Alan MacRobert, senior editor of Sky and Telescope magazine. The moon is the brightest, closest and smallest of the three and is 252,000 miles away. Venus, the second brightest, closest and smallest, is 94 million miles away, while Jupiter is 540 million miles away.
About-face of Polaris steers you due south. Polaris is not the brightest star in the nighttime sky, as is commonly believed. Itâs only about 50th brightest. But you can find it easily, and, once you do, youâll see it shining in the northern sky every night, from N. Hemisphere locations.or example, a famous star called Thuban, in the constellation Draco the Dragon, was the North Star when the Egyptians built the pyramids. But our present Polaris is a good North Star because itâs the skyâs 50th brightest star. So itâs noticeable in the sky.
