A geothermal heat pump or ground source heat pump (GSHP) is a central heating and/or cooling system that transfers heat to or from the ground.It uses the earth as a heat source (in the winter) or a heat sink (in the summer).eat pumps can transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, against the natural direction of flow, or they can enhance the natural flow of heat from a warm area to a cool one. The core of the heat pump is a loop of refrigerant pumped through a vapor-compression refrigeration cycle that moves heat.

Milky Way from Missouri Mountain, Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, Colorado. âWhen the spring of 2013 began I had fourteen Fourteeners to go in my seven-year Sunrise from the Summit project. I was determined to finish all fourteen by August, but hoped to do most of them in May and June, when the peaks still held snow.
According to astronomers, our Milky Way is an average-sized barred spiral galaxy measuring up to 120,000 light-years across. Our Sun is located about 27,000 light-years from the galactic core in the Orion arm. Astronomers estimate that the Milky Way contains up to 400 billion stars of various sizes and brightness.A few are supergiants, like Betelgeuse or Rigel. Many more are average-sized stars like our Sun.nd so, if you multiply the number of stars in our galaxy by the number of galaxies in the Universe, you get approximately 10 24 stars. Thatâs a 1 followed by twenty-four zeros. Thatâs a septillion stars. But there could be more than that.
