Studies show that coral reefs lose 14% of their area annually due to rising ocean temperatures.

In Brazil, ants have been farming mushrooms for food for 60 million years. They cut leaves, “plant” fungal spores on them, and tend to their “farms.” It’s one of the oldest forms of agric...

The chemical element gold forms from neutron collisions in stars before their supernova explosions.

The longest hot air balloon flight lasted 20 days in 1991. Two Americans flew 8,700 km from Japan to Canada, crossing the Pacific Ocean. They nearly crashed due to a storm but set a record that sti...

Vesuvius released 1.5 cubic kilometers of ash during its 79 AD eruption, studied by paleontologists.

Geological data shows that the Great Barrier Reef formed 20 million years ago from corals.

Ice on the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica makes sounds like organ music! Scientists found this is caused by wind passing through ice cavities.

The chemical element fluorine is the most reactive of all, reacting even with noble gases under specific conditions.

The chemical bond between hydrogen and oxygen in water (H₂O) forms through covalent bonds.

The geological layers of the Grand Canyon display 2 billion years of Earth’s history, studied through stratigraphy.

In the 1950s, the US ran an experiment teaching dolphins to speak. A dolphin named Margaret lived with a scientist in a flooded house to communicate 24/7. She even tried mimicking human speech, but...

The world’s oldest working lighthouse is in Spain—the Tower of Hercules. Built during the Roman Empire about 1,900 years ago, it still guides ships today. Its stone walls have withstood centuri...

Black holes evaporate over time through a process called Hawking radiation, according to quantum gravity theory.

In Sweden, there’s an ice hotel in Jukkasjärvi village that gets rebuilt every year. It’s entirely made of ice and snow, including beds and the bar, with temperatures inside never rising above...

The Antarctic ice sheet contains climate records from the last 800,000 years, analyzed by scientists.

A rare ‘crystal dolphin’ in the Caribbean Sea shines in the sun. Its skin shimmers like glass.

In Australia, a ‘ghost tree’ with white bark glows in the dark. It’s found only in Queensland’s tropical rainforests.

The Earth’s core reaches a temperature of 6,000°C, comparable to the Sun’s surface, due to radioactive decay.

Climate data shows that Earth’s average temperature has risen by 1.1°C since pre-industrial times.

Fireballs called Min-Min lights fly across the sky at night in Queensland, Australia! Scientists explain this as light refraction from distant sources in the atmosphere.
