The elements are only a small part of the content of the Universe. By "elements" is meant ordinary (baryonic) matter made of protons, neutrons, and electrons. 

Observations suggest that only 4.6% of the universe's energy makes up the visible (baryonic) matter of the universe. That includes the energy (E = mc2 ⇔ m = E / c2) in stars, planets, and living beings. 

The rest is thought to be made up of dark energy (68%) and dark matter (27%). These are forms of matter and energy are believed to exist on the basis of scientific theory and inductive reasoning. They are based on observations, but they have not been directly observed. Their nature is not well understood.

Most standard (baryonic) matter is found in intergalactic gas, stars, and interstellar clouds, in the form of atoms or ions (plasma). Degenerate forms are found in extreme settings, such as the high densities inside white dwarfs and neutron stars.
The inner planets of the Solar System are unusual because they have a high amount of heavier elements. These heavier elements were formed in earlier supernovae.

Aspect ratio of picture or display is the ratio between width and height. i.e.:  If a picture or video has resolution of 1920 x 1080, That means the width is 1920 and the height is 1080. Now if we write them as ratio then these two parameters become (width:height) 1920:1080. Dividing both of them by the same denominator 120 it becomes 16 : 9. Which is ultimately the aspect ratio of the picture or video.

Anomalopidae (lanterneye fishes or flashlight fishes) are a family of fish. They have bioluminescent organs under their eyes. These light organs contain glowing bacteria. They can be "shut off" by the fish. It does this by either using a dark lid or by being drawn into a pouch. The organs are used to communicate, attract prey and evade predators.

Flashlight fish are found in tropical ocean waters across the world. They are normally about  in size. Some species can be twice this length. They are nocturnal. The fish feed at night on small crustaceans. Some species move to shallow waters near coral reefs at night. Most species are deep water fish. This tends to make research of the family difficult. They are a poorly understood group of fish.

In Christian theology, God the Son is the second person of the Trinity, which teaches that Jesus Christ is the Incarnation of God. God the Son who along with the Father and the Holy Spirit is of the same essence, share the same qualities, and each are fully God.

Source 
These three words: "God the Son" are nowhere to be found in the Bible, but are found in later Christian sources. At one time, a scribe made an error in one medieval manuscript, MS No. 1985, where Galatians 2:20 has "Son of God" changed to "God the Son".

The New American Standard Bible chooses to translate John 1:18 as:

Christology
In most Christian churches, the Holy Spirit, or Holy Ghost, is the third person of the Trinity. The Trinity is a God made up of three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, who share the same qualities and essence and are therefore One God. Christians who don't believe in the Trinity have a big difference in their beliefs about the Holy Spirit.

In Christian theology, pneumatology is the study of the Holy Spirit.

Since Christianity does indeed have a historical relationship with Judaism, theology experts often identify the Holy Spirit with the concept of the Ruach Hakodesh found in Jewish scripture, suggesting that Jesus may have just been expanding upon these Jewish concepts.

Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks (June 7, 1917 – December 3, 2000) was an American poet and writer. She wrote about the ordinary lives of people, often in her own African American community called Bronzeville in Chicago, Illinois. In 1950 she won the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for her book Annie Allen. She was the first African American winner of that prize.

Life and career

Brooks was born in Topeka, Kansas. When she was still a baby, her parents moved to Chicago. She lived there for the rest of her life. Her father was a janitor. Her mother was a schoolteacher and a pianist.

She started writing poetry when she was very young. Her mother told her to send some writing to the well-known poet Langston Hughes. He wrote to her, "You have talent. Keep writing! You'll have a book published one day." Many of her early poems were printed in the Chicago Defender, a newspaper written for African Americans in that city.
After winning the Pulitzer Prize for her poetry book Annie Allen in 1950, she wrote a novel called Maud Martha that came out in 1953. This novel tells the story of the main character's life. In the book Maud Martha "suffers prejudice not only from white people but also from lighter-skinned African Americans."

From the 1960s on, Brooks' poetry said more about the problems caused by racism in America. Her book In the Mecca spoke about the struggles of Black people to live in their poor neighborhoods. She wrote about the death of Malcolm X. She was active in the Black Power movement.

Brooks was named the official poet of the state of Illinois in 1968. And in 1985 she was the Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress. For these jobs she went many places. She went to prisons, hospitals and schools where she asked people to read poetry and to write their own poems.

She died at her home in Chicago on December 3, 2000.
