In people with chronic myelogenous leukemia, the chromosomes in the blood cells swap sections with each other. A section of chromosome 9 switches places with a section of chromosome 22, creating an extra-short chromosome 22 and an extra-long chromosome 9.
Discovered on September 23, 1846, by John Couch Adams. Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by observation. Unexpected changes in the orbit of Uranus led astronomers to deduce that its orbit was subject to gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet.
On June 25, 2011, Neptune arrived at the same location in space where it was discovered 165 years earlier. To commemorate the event, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope took anniversary pictures of the blue-green giant planet.

This means that its distance from the star is constantly changing. When the icy planet is closest to the sun, it lies only 2.77 billion miles (4.46 billion km).
