This Desert Is Twice the Size of the Sahara + 2...
Did you know that that we live inside the Sun? Its atmosphere stretches far beyond its visible surface, and even though Earth is far away from the star, it's still within the reach of the Sun's atmosphere. The Earth absorbs heat from the Sun, mostly on the surface, but the heat doesn't spread equally on all parts of the Earth. One side of the planet, the Pacific hemisphere, is losing heat more quickly than another, the African hemisphere. There are many cool facts about our planet that not so many people know about. #brightside Preview photo credit: Morlighem, M. (2022). MEaSUREs BedMachine Antarctica, Version 3 [Data Set].

Metal Balls Fell from Space in India, What Are ...
Do you like to listen to the sound of rain? And what if it rained money instead of water? That's what really happened in Germany once: a woman was driving, when she suddenly saw banknotes swirling down from the sky, so she hit the brakes. In several villages in India, in the middle of May 2022, huge black and silver metal balls started dropping from the sky, the first one weighing over 15 pounds. And this is still not the most unusual kind of rain!

The Earth's Crust Is Falling Apart… A New Era B...
The Earth's crust is doing something pretty intense—it’s slowly breaking apart! Scientists say tectonic plates, those massive puzzle pieces that make up our planet’s surface, are shifting and cracking more than ever. This could mean a big change in how continents and oceans are shaped over millions of years. It’s like the Earth is gearing up for a whole new chapter. Don’t worry, though—this isn’t an overnight thing, so no sudden sinkholes or new oceans tomorrow. Still, it’s wild to think about how the ground beneath us is always moving, shaping the planet’s future bit by bit. Credit: CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

How Planes Are Tested to Keep Us Safe at 37,000...
Ever wonder how planes are tested to keep us safe way up at 37,000 feet? It’s actually pretty wild! Engineers put planes through insane tests, like bending their wings almost to the breaking point to make sure they can handle turbulence. They also simulate extreme weather—think freezing temperatures, scorching heat, and even fake lightning strikes—to ensure nothing goes wrong in real-life conditions. Planes are tested in wind tunnels at crazy speeds to see how they’ll handle in the air. Even the seats and seat belts get tested for crash scenarios to keep passengers protected. All these tests make flying one of the safest ways to travel!

How Ancient Egypt Moved 100-Ton Granite Blocks
Did you know ancient Egyptians moved 100-ton granite crates, and scientists are still scratching their heads over how they did it? These massive stone boxes, found in places like the Serapeum of Saqqara, were carved with incredible precision. The crazy part? They were transported from quarries hundreds of miles away! Modern engineers are baffled by how this was even possible without cranes, trucks, or modern tools. Some think they used ingenious methods involving ramps, sledges, and even water to reduce friction. Whatever the method, it’s a mind-blowing example of ancient innovation that still amazes us today!

What Really Turned the Sahara into a Desert
The Sahara wasn’t always the endless sandscape we know today—it used to be lush and green! 🌿 Around 6,000 to 7,000 years ago, it was covered in grasslands, rivers, and even lakes, supporting animals like elephants and hippos. Scientists say the shift happened because of changes in the Earth’s orbit, which messed with the monsoon rains that kept the region fertile. As the rains moved south, the Sahara dried up, turning into the desert we see now. But what’s really wild is that this cycle of greening and desertification has happened multiple times over millions of years. Who knows—maybe the Sahara will be green again someday! 🌎 Credit: QanatFiraun: by Pafnutius, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

10 Creatures That Prove Superpowers Actually Exist
Superpowers like living forever, surviving without oxygen and imitating any sound. Bright Side found some creatures with abilities that are even more surprising, funny, weird, and sometimes disgusting than any superhero. Make sure to watch this video till the end – you don’t want to miss the proof zombie apocalypse could be something very real, do you? TIMESTAMPS Immortal jellyfish Naked mole-rat Tardigrade Hairy Frog Mantis shrimp Mimic Octopus Platypus Criocerinae leaf beetle Flea Lyrebird SUMMARY Top 3 Most Amazing Creatures: The immortal jellyfish begins its life as a tiny free-swimming blob called a planula, which grows into a colony of polyps and then develops into a jellyfish. If it’s attacked, is exposed to environmental stress, or simply becomes sick or old, it can revert to the polyp stage, forming a new polyp colony, which makes it immortal. Naked mole-rats can live ten times as long as a mouse. Recent studies prove they can survive without oxygen! Tardigrade. These little, near-microscopic animals are considered nature’s toughest creatures as it is almost impossible to kill them. With eight legs and hands with claws, they can live basically anywhere sucking algae juice, lichens and moss. Animation is created by Bright Side.

Scientists Found Footprints That Reveal a New Past
Did you know scientists found the oldest human footprint ever? It’s a single step frozen in time, left by an ancient human over 1.2 million years ago in Spain! This footprint gives us a rare glimpse into how our distant ancestors lived and moved around. What’s cool is that it was preserved in mud that hardened over time, almost like nature’s time capsule. Researchers believe it was made by a young individual, possibly part of a family group exploring the area. It’s amazing to think a simple footprint can teach us so much about our ancient past!

The Mystery of the Gobi Desert Monster
Did you know there’s a legend about a creepy creature lurking in the Gobi Desert? They call it the Mongolian Death Worm, and it’s said to be a long, red, slimy thing that can spit venom or even shoot out electric shocks! Locals have been telling stories about it for ages, saying it hides under the sand and only pops out to attack its prey. Scientists haven’t found solid proof it exists yet, but the mystery keeps adventurers and researchers hooked. Some think it’s just a legend or maybe a misidentified snake, while others swear it’s real. Whether it’s fact or fiction, it’s one wild story from one of the world’s most desolate places!

Scientists Found a Star So Strange It Mocks Phy...
Stars are some of the most mysterious things in the universe, and Przybylski’s Star (HD 101065) is one of the weirdest of all! Discovered back in the 1960s, astronomers were blown away by its super-rare elements, ones so strange they almost shouldn’t exist. But wait, it gets weirder—recent research shows the star isn’t just made of odd stuff; it also moves in a way scientists can’t explain. And Przybylski’s Star isn’t the only cosmic oddball. Take Tabby’s Star (EPIC 204278-988)—it randomly dims by as much as 22% for weeks at a time, and no one knows why! Some people even wonder if it’s aliens (though probably not). Then there’s WD J0914+1914, known as the “Diamond Star,” because its core is literally a giant diamond bigger than you can imagine. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Can Strong Winds Sink a Cruise Ship?
Ever wondered if strong winds could actually sink a cruise ship? The short answer is: it’s possible, but super unlikely. Modern cruise ships are designed to handle crazy weather, with stabilizers to reduce rocking and engines powerful enough to steer through storms. Even hurricane-force winds would usually only make things bumpy, not sink the ship. That said, extreme situations like rogue waves combined with high winds could create problems, but the odds of that happening are incredibly slim.

The Chance of Megathrust Earthquake Is Rising R...
Scientists are keeping a close watch on the chances of a megathrust earthquake happening soon. These are the strongest types of quakes, caused when one tectonic plate slides beneath another, and they can lead to massive destruction and tsunamis. Right now, certain regions like the Pacific Northwest, Japan, and Indonesia are showing increased seismic activity, which could mean stress is building up underground. Experts use data like small tremors, ground movement, and historical patterns to predict the likelihood of these quakes. While it's impossible to say exactly when or where it will happen, they're urging people in high-risk areas to be prepared. Having an emergency kit, a safety plan, and staying informed could save lives when the big one strikes.

Why Continents Haven’t Sunk Into Lava Yet
It’s wild to think about, but the continents haven’t sunk into lava because of how Earth’s crust works. The crust, which includes the continents, is like a giant jigsaw puzzle of solid plates floating on a gooey layer called the mantle. Even though the mantle is hot and partly molten, it’s dense enough to keep the crust floating instead of letting it sink. Plus, continents are made of lighter, less dense rock compared to the heavier ocean floors, so they naturally stay on top. Earth’s tectonic plates might shift and collide, but they’re surprisingly sturdy over millions of years. So, while there’s plenty of molten rock beneath us, the continents are safe from sinking anytime soon! Credit: CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

How Earth Would Change with 50/50 Land and Water
If Earth were half land and half water, life would look completely different. For starters, we’d have way more space for cities, farms, and forests—but also a lot more deserts, since some areas would be too far from water to stay green. The oceans would shrink into smaller seas, which might make traveling by boat less important and change how trade works. On the flip side, the weather could get pretty extreme, with less water to regulate global temperatures and fewer rainstorms to cool things down. Marine life would struggle too, with fewer habitats and smaller ecosystems to thrive in. It’s fun to imagine, but honestly, Earth’s current balance is probably the best setup for all the life we know and love!

The Ghost of an Ancient World Found Under Antar...
Did you know there’s a whole ancient world buried under Antarctica’s ice? Scientists discovered the remains of prehistoric ecosystems, including rivers and lakes, trapped beneath miles of frozen surface. It’s like a ghost of Earth’s distant past, preserved in icy time capsules for millions of years. This hidden world may have once teemed with life, back when Antarctica was lush and green instead of the frozen desert it is today. The coolest part? Exploring it could give us clues about how life adapts to extreme conditions—on Earth and maybe even other planets. It’s wild to think that under all that ice lies a snapshot of a world we never knew!

Today, we will tell you about this technique which removes a headache effectively and quickly. Let us know in the comments below if this video is beneficial to you. And if so, hit that thumbs up button – it really helps our channel grow! TIMESTAMPS Acupressure 0:17 Yintang point 1:10 Zan Zhu points 1:23 Yingxiang points 1:39 Tian Zhu points 1:55 Shuai gu points 2:10 He Gu points 2:23 SUMMARY The point of the third eye, or Yintang, is situated between the eyebrows in the place where the bridge of the nose passes into the forehead. This point is also responsible for eye fatigue removal. These symmetrical points are located at the base of the inner edge of the eyebrows. Massaging this area also relieves a runny nose and improves visual acuity. Massage for 1 minute by pressing or circular movements, and you’ll feel relief. These points are located on both sides of the nostrils in line with the eyes. To find them, feel a dimple in the bottom of the cheekbones. It helps to open sinuses, reduce a headache and toothache, and relieve stress. The fourth points, Tian Zhu points, are located behind the head in the middle, between the ear and the beginning of the spine. Massaging these points helps you relieve nasal congestion, pain in the eyes and ears, severe headaches, and migraines. The Shuai gu points are situated 2-3 cm from the beginning of the hairline in the temple area. Feel a small dimple to find this point. Pressure applied to this area relieves pain in the temporal region and eye fatigue. The last ones are He Gu points. These symmetrical points are located on the back of the hand between the thumb and forefinger. Pressure applied to this area also relieves back pain, toothache, and tension in the neck muscles. We’ve tried massaging all these points – it really works! What about you?

13 Survival Hacks That Never Work in Real Life
Blockbuster heroes manage to survive in any situation. Here are the 13 most common on-screen survival tips that don’t work in real life. More than that, they can do you a lot of harm! We all want to be like superherous, and we believe using their survival lessons could help us, too. Don’t try to reproduce them on your own — the characters only stayed alive thanks to the director’s imagination. TIMESTAMPS Wearing cotton clothes 0:55 Throwing away your phone if it doesn’t pick up a signal 1:40 Getting down on the ground during a thunderstorm 2:35 Jumping from a speeding car 3:38 Finding directions using moss on trees 4:24 Eating snow to quench the thirst 5:19 Outrunning a wild animal 6:19 Raw meat can treat a black eye 8:05 Starting a fire in a cave 8:45 You can’t let someone with a head injury fall asleep 9:19 If you are lost, you should get moving immediately 9:56 You can outrun a tornado 10:31 Warning signs are negligible 11:16 SUMMARY Cotton clothes might look good at happy on-screen campers. In real life, cotton is not the best material for clothes to keep you safe and warm out in the wild. Your phone is not useless: even if you can’t call, it still pings nearby phone network towers and makes a digital map of your route so that rescuers can trace your location. To save battery, turn your phone off every half an hour. The energy of a lightning flash heats the air to above 50,000°F in a few millionths of a second! Wet soil is an excellent electricity conductor, so you’ll only increase the chances of the lightning hitting you. To stay alive, you should minimize your contact with the ground. Even if the offenders placed you next to an unlocked door, you’d wring your neck trying to impress them with this feat. This might lead to your death (or you’ll be paralyzed), and the kidnappers will take you to their destination without any hassle. Hold your watch up in front of you, and let the hour hand point at the sun. Cut the angle between the hour hand and 12 o’clock in half. That way is south, and the opposite direction is north. You should not use snow to quench your thirst. Snow has a low density. You’ll have to eat several buckets of it to get a glass of water. If you don’t have weapons, the beast will most likely win. It is a good idea to study the habits of animals that live in the area you are visiting. Raw meat is not to be applied to your eyes because it can cause an infection. This can prove fatal if you are out in the wilderness with no disinfectants or antibiotics at hand. If you start a fire in a cave, warmth will cause the rock to expand, which can lead to the cave falling in. Start fires outdoors unless you want to be buried in the collapsed cave. Light concussions pass by soon enough, and sleep will only help the patient to bounce back. If there are more concerning symptoms, such as an increasing headache, nausea, or loss of orientation, the injured person should be taken to the hospital as soon as possible. If you move along an unknown route, there is a risk of you getting even more lost and never being found. So, don’t stray away. Wait for a search party. If you know a tornado is coming, close all the doors, windows, and ventilation holes. Take the most necessary things (water, a flashlight, medicines, documents), and take shelter in the basement or an interior room on the first floor with as many walls between you and the outside as possible. If you see a warning sign in the woods, there are serious reasons for it, and you don’t want to find out what they are. After all, there must be a reason why most horror films begin with someone violating a prohibitive sign.

15 Proven Ways to Get Rid of Bad Breath
Bad breath is a very touchy and personal question. Dental hygiene is important, but brushing your teeth twice a day and chewing gum may not be enough. There are scientifically proven cases of what may be the reasons behind bad breath. Let's find the root of the problem. We at Bright Side have done some research and put together a list of dental hygiene do's and don'ts. Perhaps all you need to do is to adjust just one or two of your habits. TIMESTAMPS Drink plenty of water. 1:16 Don't drink too much coffee. 1:50 Clean your dentures. 2:38 Remember to floss after every meal. 3:09 Change your toothbrush every three months. 3:58 Do not neglect your tongue. 4:43 Go for alcohol-free mouthwash. 5:17 Avoid sugar mints. 6:20 Be aware of the medication you are taking. 7:13 Check for tonsil stones. 7:42 Watch your scales. 8:47 Say no to a low-carb diet. 9:24 Reconsider your smoking habit. 10:13 Eat more apples and other healthy food. 11:11 Visit your doctor. 11:49 SUMMARY Water is never a bad idea. A sufficient amount of water stimulates the flow of your saliva and helps to avoid dehydration, which is often a reason for halitosis (that's how scientists call bad breath). Did you know that caffeine can slow down saliva production and, therefore, dry out your mouth? This will lead to that breath odor. It's better to drink a cup of tea during your lunch and dinner. Caring for your dentures is as important as caring for your teeth, so you should treat them accordingly. Practice the same oral hygiene that you would with your original teeth. Make a habit of cleaning them at night to get rid of bacterial buildup from food. Any food particles which stay in between your teeth for too long time act in the same way as if you left your trash bin full — they stink. The bacteria from food go deep below the gum line and may lead not only to bad breath but also to an infection. That's why flossing is no less important than brushing your teeth. Time flies when we are busy, and we may not notice how quickly our toothbrush gets old. An old toothbrush may be as unsafe to use as simply adding more bacteria to your mouth. So change your toothbrush regularly. When you brush your teeth in the morning, remember to clean your tongue with the tongue scraper. You won't believe, but it has been shown to reduce odor by up to as much as 70%. Many brands of mouth rinse contain up to 27% of alcohol in their ingredients. It dries out your mouth. As a result, as we have already learned, it brings an unpleasant smell after that minty freshness wears off within an hour. Another danger of mouthwash containing alcohol can appear if it is used by teenagers. Sugar is normally added to the mints people are so eager to take after a meal. You do so to freshen your breath, and you think that you do the right thing. But, unfortunately, the situation is quite the contrary. Sugar in these mints is exactly what helps the bacteria in your mouth to grow. Such medications as antidepressants, painkillers, and antihistamines may suppress saliva flow and can be the reason for a chronic dry mouth. So, remember to ask your doctor about the side effects of any prescribed medications. If you're not aware, tonsil stones are a mix of debris and bacteria that sit in the back of the throat. They look like white spots or bumps and smell nasty. You might have never heard of them but, in fact, they are pretty common. Tel Aviv University researchers have published a study that has found a direct link between being overweight and having bad breath: the more obese you are, the more likely your breath will not be as pleasant as you would like. "Ketosis: this is a process which forces the body to burn stored fats and proteins for energy due to the lack of carbs. The thing is that if your diet is too strict, your body will start to produce such chemicals as ketones. Smoking dries out your mouth while nicotine tends to squeeze blood vessels - as a result, you don't receive a healthy amount of saliva. When you crunch celery, apples, carrots, or similar food, it removes the remains of food stuck between the teeth. What is more, it rids of bacteria that live on them. If you have tried everything, followed all the recommendations, but bad breath still bothers you, probably it's time to visit the doctor. #badbreath #dentaltips Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram SMART Youtube: https://goo.gl/JTfP6L 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Have you ever seen a talking slime?
