What the First Man on the Moon Hid for All Thes...
It's hard to find a person who has never seen one of the most famous photos in the world of the first man on the Moon. Neil Armstrong had been getting ready for his mission for over three years. To resist microgravity conditions, he had to learn how to walk sideways, by being strapped and suspended at an angle and trying to walk along walls. What other things did he have to learn? And did Neil Armstrong have any secrets?

Their Discovery Will Change How We Explore the ...
Did you hear about that Indian spacecraft that landed on the Moon? It was a big deal 'cause it hit the south pole, which had never been done before. The rover and lander found some cool stuff, like clues about the Moon's makeup and history, which is gonna be super helpful for future missions. But get this: they didn't find any water up there, even though that was the main goal. They thought the polar regions might have some 'cause they're super cold and shady. But hey, here's a twist - turns out, the best bet for finding water might be beneath the surface, not on top! That's some next-level discovery right there.

What If a Big Meteorite Slammed into the Moon
It's impossible to imagine life on Earth without our natural satellite, the Moon. But what would happen if a huge meteorite flew through the Moon directly in the middle? Our satellite would break into two equal parts, but the Moon's great gravity would attract them back like a magnet. Everyone around the world would celebrate this good news.

18 Banned and Controversial Foods from Around t...
Around the world, there are some foods that are either banned or super controversial. For example, in the United States, you can't buy haggis because it contains sheep lungs, which are banned. Foie gras, made from the liver of force-fed ducks or geese, is banned in places like California due to animal cruelty concerns. In Japan, eating fugu, a type of pufferfish, is a risky delicacy because it's poisonous if not prepared correctly. And in some countries, raw milk is a no-go because it can carry harmful bacteria.

The Pompeii Disaster Was Nothing Like We Imagined
Turns out, the disaster at Pompeii wasn’t exactly how we always pictured it. New research shows most people didn’t die slowly buried under ash — they were killed almost instantly by super-hot, fast-moving gas clouds. The heat was so intense that it basically caused their bodies to vaporize in seconds. That’s a lot more brutal and sudden than the slow suffocation we used to think happened. Plus, the eruption was even more powerful and chaotic than the old stories made it seem. In short, Pompeii’s end was way faster, hotter, and scarier than we ever imagined.

The Moon’s Volcano Mystery Might Finally Be Cra...
The Moon might look calm and quiet now, but long ago, it was a fiery ball of volcanic activity! 🌋 Scientists have been puzzled for years about strange heat spots under its surface, but now they think they've cracked the mystery. It turns out, massive underground lava chambers from ancient eruptions are still slowly cooling, keeping certain areas warmer than expected. These hidden "hot pockets" (not the snack kind! 😆) help explain why the Moon isn't completely frozen solid inside. This discovery could even change what we know about how moons and planets cool down over time. Who knew the Moon was still holding onto its volcanic secrets? 🌕🔥

The Moon Does Not Go Around the Earth
The Moon is our planet's sole natural satellite and nearest celestial body. The Moon orbits the Earth and it takes about one month to complete the full cycle from New Moon to New Moon. But there's a common misconception that the Moon goes around the Earth. Which isn't true. Why do we believe in this myth and why is it completely wrong? Let's take a look at the phases of the Moon and its rotation cycle. We'll see that the Moon is not going around the Earth - it is traveling along with the Earth - around the Sun.

Phenomenon That Makes Objects Lose Their Shadows
Our planet is full of places that are so beautiful they don't even seem real! There is a river in Colombia where you can see red, yellow, green, and purple waters flow down it, and the color depends on the water or light conditions. Earthquake Lights can appear before, during, or immediately after an earthquake and last up to 10 minutes. People can see a clear reflection of the sky in the waters of Sasaran Beach, Kuala Lumpur, twice a month. The mountainside of Zhangye National Geopark, in China, is known for its splashes of rainbow in thick straight lines.

Bizarre Phenomenon That Interrupted the Footbal...
If you're a football fan, the game is exciting to you as it is. But it can get even cooler: during a match between Austria and Denmark, a mysterious hole popped up from nowhere and stopped the game. The players were furious but also confused by this weird deep hole, much like in "Stranger Things." It was deep enough to consume a player's ankle. On top of that, the match was delayed by 90 minutes due to a power outage.

If You See This Lunar Phenomenon, You're Lucky
The Moon seems to be really close to Earth, but did you know that every planet in the Solar System, including Jupiter and Saturn, would fit between the Moon and us? "Black Moon" is a rare astronomical event that happens once every 2.5 years. It's an unofficial term that may mean the second new Moon in a month. Another meaning for this term is an event that happens about once every 19 years, when, unlike during a regular new moon, you'll be able to see its dark silhouette. Let's find out more about the "Black Moon," "Blue Moon," and "supermoon."

And you're fortunate to be alive after meeting it. Perhaps that ball lightning occurs as a result of a lightning strike on the ground. Another theory says that glass can generate these balls. But how dangerous are they?

Night Rainbows And 10 Even More Unusual Phenomena
Have you ever seen a rainbow at night? Moonbows are as cool as they are rare. They occur when the light gets refracted through water droplets in the air, just like it happens when a normal rainbow forms. But the source of light, in this case, is different. If you want to witness a moonbow, opt for a night when the Moon is at its fullest, for example, during a full Moon phase. But it's not the only rare natural phenomenon you can spot.
