Track listing
Sun
The Sun (in Greek: Helios, in Latin: Sol) is the star at the center of the Solar System and is by far the most important source of energy for life on Earth. It is a nearly perfect spherical ball of hot plasma, with internal convective motion that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. Its diameter is about 109 times that of Earth, and it has a mass about 330,000 times that of Earth, accounting for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen; the rest is mostly helium, with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.
The Sun is a G-type main-sequence star (G2V) based on spectral class and it is informally referred to as a yellow dwarf. It formed approximately 4.567 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of matter within a region of a large molecular cloud. Most of this matter gathered in the center, whereas the rest flattened into an orbiting disk that became the Solar System. The central mass became increasingly hot and dense, eventually initiating nuclear fusion in its core. It is thought that almost all stars form by this process.

Z Force (Action Force)
Z Force is a fictional infantry conceived and designed by Palitoy that features in the 3 3/4 inch Action Force figure range; similar to the G.I. Joe action figures and featured in a comic book series. Possibly based in-part on the Z Special Unit (also known as Z Force), a joint Australian, British and New Zealand commando unit, which saw action against the Empire of Japan during World War II, Z Force was part of the Palitoy range called Action Force and later depicted in the Battle Action Force comic books.
Graphic representation
Z Force was released as part of the second generation of Action Force. Taking the form of a limited number of action figures and vehicles released in two waves, the unit was expanded with back-stories in Battle Action Force.
Z Force has been described as:
The unit had distinctive green and black camouflage (notwithstanding their occasional deployment in desert and other terrain) with a red 'Z' insignia (in military-style stencil typeface) and occasional other red detail.
Alexander Zippelius
Alexander Zippelius (1797, Würzburg – 31 December 1828, Kupang) was a Dutch horticulturalist and botanical collector in the East Indies.
From 1823 he worked as an assistant curator in the botanical gardens at Buitenzorg, and in 1827 he joined the Natuurkundige Commissie (Commission for Natural Sciences). He collected plants in the Moluccas, southwestern New Guinea and Timor. He died on Timor in 1828.
The botanical genus Zippelia (family Piperaceae) was named in his honor by Carl Ludwig Blume. Also, he is associated with plants having the specific names of zippeliana,zippelii, and zippelianum.
