\"\"China has built an artificial sun that reaches temperatures six times greater than the real sun.<\/p>\n

The state-of-the-art machine is designed to replicate the processes of the sun. It hit a landmark this week when it reached 180 million F for the first time.<\/p>\n

This is believed to be the temperature at which nuclear fusion occurs, when that happens, scientists believe they will unlock a source of near-limitless clean energy worth billions that could save the planet from the climate change crisis.<\/p>\n

For the first time, the plasma center inside China\u2019s self-developed \u201cartificial sun\u201d reached 100 million degree Celsius. This is the fourth generation of China\u2019s nuclear fusion reactors and can provide a limitless source of clean energy. pic.twitter.com\/iQ1hySIpvj<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Three weeks ago someone won the $1.5 billion Mega Million<\/a> jackpot, and lottery officials still don’t know who that is.<\/p>\n

\"\"They do know the winning ticket was sold at a store in Simpsonville, South Carolina. It was the largest US jackpot won by a single ticket and the nation’s second-largest jackpot ever. The winner can pick between a one-time cash option of $878 million, before taxes, or the full $1.5 billion, before taxes, paid in annuities over 29 years.<\/p>\n

The winner still has 100 days to come forward; Winners must claim prize within 180 days from the draw date.<\/p>\n

Lottery winners in South Carolina have the option of staying anonymous.<\/p>\n

What if they don’t come forward? The funds are returned to the states that sell Mega Millions tickets, the unclaimed prize money goes into an unclaimed prize fund that supports education.<\/p>\n
