Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the one with the biggest rings in our Solar System. But Saturn isn't the only planet to have them - Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune have rings too. Can Earth have rings just like Saturn does? Scientists claim our planet might be on the way to have rings around it. However, very specific ones - human-made rings out of damaged satellites, rockets and other space junk... What else is awaiting us in the future?

The way our brain works has always been one of the most fascinating subjects out there. And even though there have been lots of useful and interesting discoveries on this topic, there are also plenty of misconceptions.

It seems impossible to survive even one day without money in the modern world. And yet, if you do find yourself in this situation, don’t panic. You don’t have to starve or use credit. Just follow the instruction! Of course, there are things you can’t do without, and if your fridge and your pockets are empty, what can you do? Don't try to get a free ride on public transport. If you get caught, you’ll be fined and will have to pay money you didn’t have in the first place. But you can ride a bicycle! Clothes, as well as furniture, home appliances, and pretty much anything else can be found on social media or in special apps – both free and on barter terms. As for food, you can always become a “freegan”! Of course, if you’re not daunted by the extreme.

Each part of your body is important! Still, there are parts that are far less important than others and science tells us that you don't even need some of them. For example, if you look in the mirror, you'll see a little fold of tissue in the inner corner of both of your eyes. It was actually once a third eyelid, or nictitating membrane. Let's take a look at these 9 body parts that soon might change dramatically.

You’re trudging up a steep sand dune, one foot in front of the other. Out of breath. Exhausted. You’ve lost too much water and your body is beginning to shut down. You know you can’t go on for much longer. Finally, you reach the top of the dune. And there before you is what you didn’t want to see. It’s so horrible that it takes seconds to sink in. Stretching to the horizon, is a literal sea. Of endless sand dunes. You’re stranded. Alone. Lost. Far from salvation, on the Planet Arrakis..You’re trudging up a steep sand dune, one foot in front of the other. Out of breath. Exhausted.

You look at your pooch and notice a sort of a pocket on their ear. You get worried and start googling this feature. But no worries. It actually has a name - Henry's pocket, or, more scientifically, cutaneous marginal pouch. It's nothing dangerous and might be there to help detect high-pitched sounds. Let's explore this hidden feature any pooch has and 30+ incredible true facts. Like why a phone is 10 times dirtier than a toilet handle? Or how can flamingos be actually white in reality?

Imagine being stranded in space with no idea how you can go back. Sounds like a real nightmare, right? This is a true story that happened to a real astronaut. He was sent to space on a mission that was supposed to last only 5 months. But in the end he was stuck there for 311 consecutive days. Let's listen to the story of this astronaut and find out what exactly went wrong. How did he manage to return home after spending 10 months on a spaceship all alone? We'll see that an astronaut's job isn't all about excitement, stunning views of the Earth and zero gravity. It can be pretty unpredictable and dangerous...

There're so many things about pets you can learn in order to improve both their lives and yours. The understanding of what makes your pooch bark or lick its nose, for example, can help you understand it much better and make your communication easier. Did you know that a dog can tell which nostril is taking in a specific scent, which helps them locate the direction it's coming from. Breathing out the side slits helps release air while being able to hold scents inside the nose. This is why once a dog has picked up a trail, it's very unlikely to lose it...

The future is closer than we might have thought. Self-automated robots are now working in Austria. And not only are they highly advanced and effective but also cute. Boston Dynamics now builds robots that look like dogs. These creatures are designed as effective assistants for humans in the la our force in certain industries. They’re automatically programmed to perform tasks on their own and can work for up to 12 hours. Would you hire a robot like that?

Knot tying has always been one of those skills many take for granted but it comes super handy if needed. It's a valuable skill when camping, boating, fishing or in a survival situation. It's better to learn one before such a situation happens, right? These 12 knots will make your life easier. A cowboy lasso, a half hitch, a bowline and a monkey fist knot. If these names of popular knots don't sound any familiar to you, it's time to get to know them! Here's a full guide on the top useful knots.

Did you know, for example, that the strongest muscle in your body is your tongue? Or that people with light-colored eyes have a higher pain tolerance? Or that no matter how hard you try, you can’t tickle yourself? (I bet you’ve just checked that 😋). But I'm not gonna tell you everything right now. Just watch the video and have fun! Science rules!

The gemstone, which is now called the Hope Diamond, was formed deep within the Earth more than 1 billion years ago! It was originally used as one of the decorations of an Indian temple idol. But one day a Hindu priest decided it was far too beautiful and valuable to leave there and plucked it out. He was severely punished, of course, but the Hope Diamond was already out of the temple. “The King's jewel,” “The blue of France” - these are some nicknames for the most mysterious and seemingly dangerous gem in history. The selected few who were “lucky” enough to possess the famous Hope Diamond died horrific deaths. But in the beginning, nobody could foresee the trouble...

Every night you get an opportunity to see our natural satellite, the Moon. But what if the Moon suddenly disappeared? It's not just the disc in the night sky that would disappear - the consequences would be colossal. It's obvious that life on Earth as we know it wouldn't have evolved without the existence of the Moon. The Moon is controlling the tides and the molecules in the atmosphere and so much more...

We’ve all been there – it’s one in the morning and you’re still hungry. You get out of bed and make your way to the kitchen for a late-night snack. Because who can sleep when they’re hungry? But are there any health consequences to late-night snacking? We probably don’t even think about it, but maybe we should. We shouldn’t go to bed hungry! Eating a huge bowl of cereal at 1 AM isn’t great if you’re trying to lose weight. But we’re more prone to this, though, if we’ve gone to bed hungry. At night we tend to crave foods that are either salty or sweet. So, if you have to get out of bed and curb that hunger, or satisfy that craving, try to choose something healthy to eat. Are there even more consequences of going to bed on an empty stomach?

Here on Bright Side podcasts, two hosts are ready to share the information that didn't make the newspaper headlines in 1912. What if the Titanic didn't sink just because of an iceberg? There is more to the story that you know. Kate and Leo, however famous, aren't as fantastic as the true survivors of the Titanic tragedy who had their stories told. How much do you not know?
