Unang'aa Hivi Sasa

Unang'aa hivi sasa. Mtumie mtu ambaye hataamini. Mwili wako hutoa mwanga. Muda wote. Hata ukiwa peke yako, gizani, taa zikiwa zimezimwa, bado unang'aa kidogo sana.

You are glowing right now. Send this to someone who will not believe it. Your body makes light. All the time. Even alone, in the dark, with the lights off, you still glow a tiny bit.

Mwanga huo ni hafifu sana. Ni dhaifu mara elfu moja kuliko macho ya binadamu yanavyoweza kuona. Kwa hiyo macho ya kawaida hayauoni kamwe. Lakini wanasayansi walitengeneza kamera maalum. Kamera hiyo ni nyeti sana. Inaweza kunasa mwanga huo mdogo na kuugeuza kuwa picha.

The light is very, very weak. It is a thousand times weaker than human eyes can see. So normal eyes never notice it. But scientists built a special camera. The camera is very sensitive. It can catch the tiny light and turn it into a picture.

Picha ilionyesha kitu kipya. Uso wako na mikono yako hung'aa zaidi. Mwangaza hubadilika mchana kutwa. Ni dhaifu zaidi asubuhi na wenye nguvu zaidi baadaye. Ni mdogo, lakini ni wa kweli. Unang'aa, hivi sasa, bila kujua.

The picture showed something new. Your face and your hands glow the most. The glow changes during the day. It is weakest in the morning and stronger later on. It is small, but it is real. You are glowing, right now, without knowing it.
