Gutneberg printing machine
In 1440, German inventor Johannes Gutenberg invented a printing press process that, with refinements and increased mechanization, remained the principal means of printing until the late 20th century. The inventor’s method of printing from movable type, including the use of metal molds and alloys, a special press, and oil-based inks, allowed for the first time the mass production of printed books.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and so far the only planet known capable of supporting life. The average temperature on Earth is 7.2°C, but it varies much more than that at its extremes. The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth was 70.7°C in Iran. The lowest temperature was -89.2°C in Antarctica.
With temperatures dropping to -218°C in Neptune’s upper atmosphere, the planet is one of the coldest in our Solar System. Like all of the gas giants, Neptune has a much hotter core, which is around 7,000°C.
