Synopsis

An offbeat guided tour of the Universe, focusing on weird and wonderful facts.

Astrophysicist Dr Jillian Scudder knows more than most of us what a surreal place the Universe can be. In this light-hearted book she delves into some of the more arcane facts that her work has revealed, and tells us how we have actually managed to discover these amazing truths.

Did you know: the galaxy is flatter than a sheet of paper; supermassive black holes can sing a super-low B flat; it rains iron on a brown dwarf, and diamonds on Neptune; you could grow turnips on Mars if its soil weren't full of rocket fuel; the Universe is beige, on average; Jupiter's magnetic field will short-circuit your spacecraft - and, of course, the Milky Way smells of rum and raspberries.

    Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints. In RA, the immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes that surround the joints.  
    This causes inflammation that can lead to joint damage, pain, swelling, stiffness, and loss of function. RA commonly affects joints in the hands, wrists, and knees symmetrically, meaning both sides of the body are usually affected equally. It can also affect other organs and systems in the body. Treatment typically involves medication to reduce inflammation and pain, physical therapy, and sometimes surgery in advanced cases.  
    Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent joint damage.
