Medicare is a federally funded insurance program for eligible participants 65 or over. Medicare has two parts, Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance). Medicare does not cover 100% of all costs. CDI recommends purchasing a Medicare Supplement Insurance policy if you have traditional Medicare to help offset your health care costs. If you have questions related to Medicare, contact Medicare or your local Department of Aging (HICAP).
7. Temperatures in our universe range from about 3,500,000,000 Kelvin (a supernova) to about 3 Kelvin (space). Our Sun is a class G yellow star and has an average surface temperature of 5,600 Kelvin.
On a typical day, one contender is the white dwarf that is at the heart of the Red Spider Nebula (NGC 6537). The surface temperature of that star is around 300,000 K (540,000 R). That's 50 times hotter than our sun. Or you could go with a quasar, where the center burns 100 times as much energy as the Milky Way. The gas around a quasar can reach a temperature of 80 million degrees. But if you were visiting CERN in July of 2012, you would have been present to see, briefly, the production of a quark-gluon plasma that had a temperature of about 5.5 trillion degrees Kelvin.
