The artificial sun is made up of a honeycomb of 149 spotlights, which together make the structure known as "Synlight", located in Germany.
The lights are designed to focus on a single spot and produce the equivalent of 10,000 times the amount of solar radiation that would normally shine on the same surface.
Such light is in rare supply in Germany at this time of year and thus it provides new ways of making hydrogen and exploring cleaner energy sources.
This is used in separating atomic hydrogen from the water (H2O).
Earth Hour
Recently, the world wide movement "Earth Hour" celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Conservation Group World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) organizes Earth Hour every year to encourage everyone to turn off lights for one hour as symbol of their commitment towards climate change.
The event was originated in Sydney, Australia in 2007.
Earth Hour is scheduled on the last Saturday of every March, closely coinciding with the equinox to ensure most cities are in darkness as it is rolled out around the world.

Sleeping Beauty Syndrome
It is a rare sleep disorder, also known as Kleine-Levin Syndrome.

It is very rare, occurring at a rate of one in a million and there is no known cure.
The condition primarily affects adolescent males, though females can also be affected and the age of onset varies.
It was added to the International Classification of Sleep Disorders in 1990.
