In fact, an alpha particle really is a nucleus-it's the same as the nucleus of a common atom of helium-but it doesn't have any electrons around it, and it's traveling very fast.

Kingsburg Swedish Festival, which is the biggest and most known festivals that bring people in from all over the country, is held annually during the third weekend in May. Activities include a Swedish pancake breakfast, a parade and the coronation of the Swedish Festival Queen.
Kingsburg was established as a railroad town, its site set by the Central Pacific Railroad when it completed the Valley Line in 1873. In the early 1870s, Swedish natives settled in a railroad town called Kings River Switch. Kingsburg started out as a flag stop on the Central Pacific Railroad called Kings River Switch.
