45 Amazing Moon Facts You Know Nothing About
An Italian proverb says, “If the Sun shines on me, I care not for the Moon.” It's a flippant remark, as the Earth’s satellite is some simple thing not worthy of consideration. And we're going to share the most interesting facts about the Moon with you; it might change your mind about the moon's simplicity. Did you know, for example, that there are huge temperature fluctuations on the Moon? Or that its gravity is only 1/6th that of the Earth’s. If your weight here is 100 pounds, you’ll only weigh 17 pounds standing on the Moon’s surface. You would also be able to walk a distance 6 times longer and carry a weight 6 times heavier there.

9 Tips to Keep Hair Clean and Voluminous Longer
Stylists revealed 9 tips to help you keep your hair clean and voluminous longer. Follow these easy rules to make your hair beautiful and healthy as ever. Pick the right water temperature and amount of shampoo to wash your hair. Squeeze out a quarter-sized amount of shampoo onto your palms and rub them together. Start by lathering the roots at the top of your head and move down towards your nape. Remember that the longer you have the conditioner on your hair, the better it's absorbed. Another quick and easy trick for healthier hair is to plan out your hairstyles. As crazy as it may sound, nobody should wash their hair every single day. It turns out, it's pretty useless to apply dry shampoo after exercising. To keep your skin and hair healthy, you have to change your pillowcases at least once a week. If you have oily skin and greasy hair, you’d better do it twice a week. Most heavy hair care products, like masks, balms, and conditioners, are made to be used on the ends of the hair. Scalp masks moisturize the skin on your head, and hydrated skin doesn’t produce excess oil. Hollywood stylist Thomas Taw suggests performing a simple test to find out how damaged your hair really is. Simply pull out a single strand of hair and put it in a glass of clean water. If it floats on the surface, your hair is healthy.

What If a Burglar Breaks In and You're Home?
How to tell if someone is in your house? And what to do when an intruder's in your home? First, let’s make sure there really is someone in the house. But you should be very quiet in case there’s a burglar. Look outside the house to search for traces. Can you see anything suspicious? Is there an unknown vehicle close to your house? Maybe you can spot some footsteps or a broken window? Was the fence gate open? There might also be hints inside the house. But be careful if you’re looking for them: make sure you can’t be seen. Maybe there’re some lights off that are usually on. Or maybe there’s some mud on the floor that wasn’t there before. Listen carefully to the sounds. Maybe you can hear some footsteps or movement, or the creak of a door. If it looks like there really is someone in your house, your next step is to try to get out of the house to be safe. Most break-ins happen when a house is empty, but it's always best to be prepared for the worst case scenario. Here are some safety tips about how to handle this frightening situation.

15 Money Mistakes Everyone Makes In Their 20s
Don’t spend more than 30% of your income after taxes on rent. In fact, split your income 50-20-30. That means 50% goes to rent, food, and transportation altogether, 20% goes to savings, and 30% on what you enjoy. Or what about diving head-first into credit cards? Your parents might tell you it’s an excellent way to build your credit, but that’s only if you’re responsible with that magic plastic card.

9 Optical Illusions to Test How Good Your Brain Is
9 optical illusions that will make you see things! Seeing is believing. Or is it really? Visual or optical illusions have tricked the minds of many generations throughout the centuries. Aristotle himself noticed that if you shift your stare from a moving waterfall to perfectly stable rocks, they will magically move, as well. Visual illusions are more than just fun for the audience; they can also help you find out if your brain is healthy. Bright Side has nine curiosities for you to stare at. Let us see how many of them you can figure out. We will tell what your results say about your mental health at the end of this video. TIMESTAMPS Bicycle 1:06 Café wall illusion 2:21 A fair lady 4:00 Upside down Steve Buscemi 4:55 The impossible triangle 5:52 Chessboard 7:07 Boxes 8:00 Rubik’s cube 8:38 Amazing transformation 10:05 SUMMARY When it comes to vision, your eyes are only one part of this complicated mechanism. They transmit information about the light they perceive to the brain through the optic nerve. The brain then does all the hard interpreting work. Because it gets lazy sometimes, or just too busy, it has worked out some processing shortcuts. It uses shadows, perspective, and color to correct the image it gets and decide what is what and how it works. The brain of a healthy person deceits itself. So if you can’t figure out how things are in all the illusions, it only proves the fact that you are a perfectly normal person. People who see what the deceit part of the illusion is and how it works immediately are either schizophrenics or geniuses. Their brain uses no shortcuts and doesn’t put all the details together to make things easier. People with schizophrenia cannot choose how and what they see. Genius minds can decide if they want to perceive the deceit, or not. Healthy normal people can also do it. Now that you know the secrets of quite a few illusions, you might start looking at things differently, as well.

Passengers Survived the Miracle on the Hudson
Ten years ago, the world of aviation was flabbergasted by an event that was later named the "Miracle on the Hudson." That day, two airline pilots had to use the only runway they could safely reach for an emergency landing - the narrow expanse of the Hudson River in New York City. Besides the two pilots, there were 150 passengers and three cabin crew members on board the plane. It's shocking how fast something so life-altering and scary can happen. One moment the pilots fill their jet with fuel, and the plane takes off, and two minutes later, it loses all the engine power and is about to drop out of the sky. How could such a critical situation not take any human lives? Let's figure it out. Other videos you might like: 10 Things You Should Never Wear on a Plane • 10 Things You Should Never Wear on a ...

The Biggest Mystery In New York Still Unsolved
25-year-old Dorothy Arnold was the heiress of perfume importer Francis Arnold. Dorothy got a great education and graduated from the prestigious Bryn Mawr College for women, where she majored in literature. Life was going great for the young woman. That is, until the day she mysteriously disappeared on December 12, 1910… TIMESTAMPS Dorothy leaves her room 0:54 Dorothy leaves the family’s home 1:33 Dorothy goes to Brentano’s bookstore 2:33 Dorothy waves a farewell to Gladys and heads home 2:58 Her father was afraid of damaging his business reputation 3:50 They interviewed Dorothy’s friends, acquaintances, and shop assistants 4:48 Detectives checked passenger lists of all the ships 5:20 Francis Arnold finally gave in 7:50 SUMMARY - Dorothy leaves her room and goes downstairs. She meets her mom in the main hall and tells her she’s going shopping to buy a new dress for her 19-year-old sister Marjorie’s debutante party. - Dorothy leaves the family’s home in the posh Upper East Side of Manhattan. She takes $25 with her, or about $700 by today’s rates. - On 27th Street, Dorothy goes to Brentano’s bookstore where she buys a collection of funny stories and essays. Upon leaving the shop, she bumps into her friend Gladys King. - Dorothy waves a farewell to Gladys and heads home. She decides to go through Central Park on her way. At least that’s what she tells her friend. - In the evening of December 12, Dorothy still hadn’t arrived home. But there wasn’t any immediate cause for alarm. - They suspected that someone could’ve abducted his daughter to demand a ransom from the well-off family. He didn’t want to make things more complicated by giving publicity to this story. - He also searched the girl’s room and found only one strange thing. There were burnt sheets of paper in the fireplace. He couldn’t make out the text, but there were some flyers of ships carrying passengers from the US to Europe. - Six weeks after his daughter’s disappearance, Francis Arnold finally gave in. He invited journalists for a press conference and assumed that she’d been attacked while on her way home through Central Park. - There’s also the theory that she simply ran away. It was known that she’d been feeling particularly down about the magazine refusals. In fact, it’s believed that the burnt papers in the fireplace that had been found in the early days of the investigation were letters of refusal. #dorothyarnold #mystery #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

These Plants Are Masters of Mimicry, Don't Eat ...
Some plants out there have mastered the art of mimicry, and they're not to be messed with! Take the corpse flower, for example—it emits an odor that smells like rotting flesh to attract pollinators. Then there's the Venus flytrap, which lures in unsuspecting insects with sweet nectar before snapping shut and devouring them. Another tricky character is the pitcher plant, which uses its pitcher-shaped leaves to trap and digest insects. So, if you ever come across these sneaky plants in the wild, it's probably best to admire them from a safe distance—eating them definitely isn't on the menu!
