Vega is the brightest star in the constellation Lyra and is the fifth brightest star in the sky. The name of the star comes from Arabic and means "The Swooping Eagle". As part of the constellaion Lyra it represents a jewel set in the body of the harp.
Vega is only 25.3 light years from Earth. It is a main sequence star like our sun, however it is twice as massive and burns fifty times brighter than our sun. Vega's current age is between 200 and 500 million years (Our sun is about 4.6 billion years old).
Vega was the first star to ever be photographed, have it's spectrum analized, and it's parallax measured. It has also been in many Science Fiction novels and movies, such as "Contact." And in 14,000 AD Vega will become the North Star, replacing Polaris in the position in the sky.

Since Vega is so much more powerful and younger than our Sun, scientists doubt that life has evolved in it's solar system.

A patented form of drinking water. It has some unique characteristics that are not found in other water such as a higher boiling point, higher surface tension, and a lower viscosity. The name “Penta” comes from the word pentamer, the theoretical most basic cluster of H2O molecules needed to form liquid water.
Penta water is the cleanest-known bottled water in the world. Therefore is one of the most popular in health food stores.
Penta water goes though a 11-hour, 13 step purification process that removes any and every impurity found in water.(9 stages of filtration, 3 stages of bacteria removal, and a patented Penta Process) is why Penta measures only about 0.5 parts per million (ppm) of total dissolved solids.
Penta is the only bottle water that does not have any taste of plastic, salt, minerals, or chemicals that is so often found in bottle water. You can leave it out all day in the heat of your car and it still tastes clean and crisp. The bottles do not leech into the water at all because they are made out of the highest grade plastic.

It is the obilgation to one's community, friends, and family to consider their welfare in your actions, and not to set out to harm them.
