∙ 14y agoPupilary constriction is a result of the eyes adjusting to light, larger pupils in the dark and smaller in bright lights. When a doctor or medic shines a light into a patients eyes he/she is looking for something called PERRLA, (Pupils Equal, Round, and Responsive to Light and Accommodation. This is important if a suspected head injury is showing, we shine the light to make sure both are reacting the same way. There is a problem if both are not of equal size, not round or misshapen, or don't change when light is shined. This is indicative of a closed head injury and the patient needs immediate medical attention.

If some of the galaxies in this image are 10 billion light years away what does that mean you are actually looking at when you take a picture of those galaxies?
You are looking at the light that that star made 10 billion years ago. Since it takes that many years for the light to reach earth, you would not notice if that star died for 10 billion years, just like you wouldn't notice by looking at it that the sun suddenly died for 8 minutes (The amount of time it takes for its light to reach the earth). We are constantly looking at the sun 8 minutes ago!

How do you change the middle brake light on the 2006 Honda Pilot?
If you look at the middle brake light, you'll notice two (2) notches on the left and right of the light. (This is looking at the brake light from the outside of the car, not the inside of the hatch.) Using a flathead screwdriver, pry the two screw covers off (they are plastic just like the rest of the brake light cover). Unscrew the screws and presto, you find the back to the light.
