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.
The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy that measures about 100,000 light-years across, and is thought to contain between 100 and 400 billion stars. The Solar System (and Earth) is located about 25,000 light-years to the galactic center and 25,000 light-years away from the rim.So, imagine a dinner plate as the Milky Way, and draw an imaginary line from the center of the plate to the outside. Weâre located about halfway along that line.he Solar System is located in a region in between the two arms called the Orion-Cygnus arm. This arm measures 3,500 light-years across and is 10,000 light-years in length, where it breaks off from the Sagittarius Arm.
