Scientists Discovered Unknown Material on the Moon but Can’t Explain It



Since ancient times, astronomers have been fascinated with the Moon. Today, modern technology allows scientists to explore the lunar surface from afar. And some of their findings are outright baffling. Like, what is that huge and mysterious metal mass that’s just been discovered in one of the Moon's craters? Imagine a gigantic chunk of metal almost the size of West Virginia. As for its weight in pounds, this number has a string of 17 zeros behind it. So far, scientists have been struggling to explain where this huge lump of unidentified material came from or what it really is. But let's start from the beginning… Other videos you might like:

– The Moon isn't a perfect sphere 8:22
– The Moon isn't Earth's satellite?! 8:56 #moon #mystery #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– On the far side of the Moon, you’ll find one of the largest and oldest impact craters in our Solar System: the South Pole-Aitken basin. – Astronomers are sure that this crater appeared when an asteroid collided with the Moon around 4 billion years ago. – In one place on the Moon's surface astronomers saw a weird change in gravity. – So far, researchers haven't yet figured out the origin of the bizarre lump, but there are several theories.
– Most scientists support the theory that the puzzling mass is a part of the monstrosity that once created the very South Pole-Aitken basin itself! – In any case, the Moon is good at keeping its secrets, and researchers still haven't come to any final conclusion.
– One phenomenon has been perplexing astronomers for decades (since the 1950s, to be precise), and that's random flashes of light coming from the surface of the Moon. – Sometimes astronomers observe them several times a week, and at other times, the flashes might disappear for months. – It turns out that lunar dust is dangerous for people. Its particles are incredibly sharp, and when breathed in, they can damage the brain and lungs beyond repair! – There might be a labyrinth of lava tunnels on the Moon. Astronomers have discovered a massive cave under the lunar surface thanks to some topography data they recently got back. – The Moon is abandoning us! Every year, its orbit moves about an inch and a half away from our planet. – Despite all appearances, the Moon isn't a perfect sphere. It might look like that when you glance at it hanging up there in the night sky. But, in fact, the Moon is shaped like an egg!
– And finally, how about this: some scientists don't even agree that the Moon is Earth's satellite! – Being around one-fourth the size of our planet, the crater-pocked thing is just too big to be our moon. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

Wall Push-Ups 5:49
Some other recommendations 7:02 #perfectbody #homeworkout #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Squats target pretty much every muscle in your legs, from your calves to your thighs. It also hits your glutes and lower back muscles.
– Although side plank with leg lifted may seem a bit hard at first, it's super effective for training your abs, glutes, obliques, and outer thigh muscles.
– V-Ups strengthen and define your lower and upper abs, improve your balance and core stability, and train your lower back muscles. – Donkey kicks target some of the same muscle groups as reverse leg raises: your glutes, hamstrings, thighs, and lower back, as well as your core and arm muscles. – First and foremost, exercise in the morning. By the evening, most people are usually too tired after a long work or school day to make an effort to work out or even just move around! – If you’re new to the whole exercising thing (or it’s been a while!), start with fewer reps and slightly increase the intensity of your workout each new day.
– Always keep your gym bag at your side, like in your office or car. Who knows when you might have an opportunity for a quick workout! – Keep building on your routine, and try to include some cardio. That mobile gym bag really comes in handy when you wanna go for a jog after work.
– If you can’t seem to find time to dedicate to a full-on workout, include some fitness in your day-to-day, For example, make it a rule to do 10 push-ups before you check your social media or eat a snack. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

A Mystical Brooch No One Wants to Even Touch



Croesus, the king of Lydia, who reigned for 14 years in the 6th century BCE, was legendary for his wealth. You might wonder what the man did to protect his treasures. Well, rumor has it that he used to put curses on his most valuable belongings, including the infamous King Croesus's golden brooch, one of the most precious items in his jewelry collection. For hundreds of years, the treasure of King Croesus lay underground, lost but not forgotten. But one day in 1965, several men came across the ancient burial mound of a Lydian princess. The men didn't excavate all the treasure at once. They returned once again in 1968 but didn't find anything but wall paintings. Among the artifacts they’d stolen, there was a beautiful golden brooch in the shape of a winged seahorse… Other videos you might like:

Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– In no time, the men realized that the fabled curse that’d been put on the treasures and, in particular, the brooch, 2,500 years ago, was far more than just a superstition. – The thieves got caught by the police after one of their own betrayed his accomplices, unhappy with the way they’d divided the treasure. – But being arrested wasn't the only punishment the thieves had to live through for their crimes. One of the thieves lost his three sons under different tragic circumstances.
– In the 1970s, it was alleged that more than 200 items from King Croesus's treasure had been bought by the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art around 1968. – After a 6-year legal battle that was rumored to cost Turkey more than $30 million, the museum admitted that while purchasing the artifacts, they’d known that they’d been stolen.
– In 2006, 13 years after the artifacts had been relocated, it turned out that the famous golden seahorse brooch, which was on display in Turkey's Uşak Museum, was a fake!
– During the investigation, the museum's director admitted that he’d sold the real brooch, as well as some other artifacts, to cover his gambling debts. – If you ever see the 67.5 carat (13 gr – 0.5 oz) Black Orlov Diamond, don't touch it without a pair of gloves on, or at all (better safe than sorry, you know). That thing is as dangerous as it is gorgeous. – The name of the 105-carat (21 g – 0.7 oz) Koh-i-Noor Diamond means "the mountain of light."
– Every single man who wore the diamond lost his throne.
– Colonel W. Ferris did bring the Delhi Purple Sapphire to England, and while he had possession of the gem, his family suffered from countless health and financial problems. – The Star of India is the largest known blue sapphire in the world. People talked about curses and spells that protected the sapphire. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

20 Secrets You Probably Didn’t Know About Buckingham Palace



Ever dreamed about living in a palace? Like Buckingham Palace, for example? Well, it’s a nice place, so why not? This ostentatious home is pretty old and huge, but the location is close to schools and shopping! And besides that, it’s got a lot of interesting secrets. When you learn about them you'll get a glimpse of what it's like to live there. Did you know, for example, that the Royal family can receive treatment without leaving the palace? Or that the River Tyburn flows under the south wing of the palace, revealing the fact that the building was set up on swampland? Or that the site where the royal residence is located now was once occupied by a monastery. And some believe that’s the reason why the place is haunted by the ghost of a monk who used to live in that monastery… Other videos you might like:

– We all know that Buckingham Palace is huge, but just to help you comprehend its size, get ready for this information – it has 775 rooms!
– Sometimes you need to get cash fast, so you go to the bank or start looking for an ATM. But if you're a member of the Royal family, you can forget about all that hassle. All you have to do is go to the basement of Buckingham Palace because there's an ATM right there! – Chandeliers can be lowered to a manageable level simply by pressing a button on the remote control. – Imagine 30 football fields and you'll get the idea about the size of the Palace garden that stretches for 39 acres. – You probably already have the idea that Buckingham Palace isn't simply a building, but more like a mini-town, since the royalty can get pretty much any service there. – Some used to say that there's a secret tunnel that connects Buckingham Palace and London Tube. It's just a rumor, but the royal residence does have tunnels.
– During the long history of Buckingham Palace, there were a few cases of ordinary people sneaking inside. – If you ever visit London and find yourself near the palace, you can find out in no time if the Queen is at home. When she's there, the Royal Standard flag is flown over her residence.
– As you can guess, The Queen and all other members of the Royal family have a pretty packed-up schedule. That's why it's so important for them to know the right time in order not to be late. – Obviously, when you're the Queen, you just have to host a lot of events and functions. More than 50,000 guests visit Buckingham Palace every year. – If you doubt the Queen will invite you to one of her parties any time soon, you can always take a tour of Buckingham Palace. – In 1953, a helicopter landed in the palace garden for the first time, and since then, that spot served as a helicopter landing area without any special construction for many years. – When there's a Royal birth, they place an official announcement outside the main entrance of the Palace to let everybody know if it's a boy or a girl and the weight of the newborn as well.

A Mysterious Human-Like Species Has Been Discovered in the Philippines



If you head to Luzon Island in the Philippines, you’ll find Callao Cave hidden in the jungle. "What's so special about an old cave?" you may ask. Well, this is exactly where archeologists discovered a previously unknown ancient species related to us humans! This human-like species was dubbed Homo luzonensis in honor of the island it was discovered on. Adults were probably quite short, about 4 feet (1.2 m) tall. The scientists assumed that this species led a mixed lifestyle, what with their ability to both climb trees and walk on two legs. However, the finding seems to raise more questions than it answers… Other videos you might like:

How the first humans got to Luzon 8:12
How ancient this species is 8:41 #discoveries #archaeology #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– Luzon Island was one of those seemingly inaccessible places because it also didn’t have any land bridge connecting it to the mainland. – In 2003, Dr. Armand Mijares, a local archeologist from the University of the Philippines, started excavations in Callao Cave together with his team. – As they were going about their research, the team found evidence of human activity in that region, including some tools and pottery which were dated to be about 25,000 years old. – In 2004, another group of archeologists discovered Homo floresiensis, a tiny human species that was later nicknamed "the hobbit."
– Even though it was a cool discovery on its own, it also inspired Dr. Mijares to return to Callao Cave. He got back on track in 2007 with a firm decision to dig deeper. – But it wasn't until 2010 that Mijares and his team finally made their revolutionary discovery. In their search, the scientists stumbled across a 67,000-year-old human fossil! – The teeth were tiny with a simple shape, making them similar to the teeth of modern humans. But what makes them even more unique is that one of the upper premolars found had 3 roots, a feature found in less than 3% of people today. – Scientists assumed that this species led a mixed lifestyle, what with their ability to both climb trees and walk on two legs. They could’ve walked in a peculiar way, but researchers haven’t determined that yet.
– There have been attempts to extract DNA from the discovered remains, but so far, they haven’t gotten any results. – It seems humans that lived on Luzon Island used tools to hunt and prepare food! – But that's not all! In 2018, Dr. Mijares announced that chances are Homo luzonensis lived on the island much further back in time. The archeologists found some stone tools. And these findings are a whopping 700,000 years old! Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

Something Strange Is Glowing in the Milky Way, Scientists Are Worried



It all started around 10 years ago when NASA launched the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. This wasn’t your standard “point-and-shoot” telescope. It’s much more an advanced piece of equipment that literally opened a huge window on the Universe. So, when you observe the sky through this telescope rather than with your own eyes, you’d be looking at a totally different picture! When the astronomers started getting data back from the Fermi telescope, they noticed that the center of our galaxy was emitting a lot more gamma radiation than its outskirts. To put it simply, something is glowing incredibly bright right in the middle of the Milky Way! But the most perplexing thing is that no one has been able to find an exact explanation for this phenomenon for nearly a decade! Other videos you might like:

What's that mysterious glow? 0:29
Why galaxies don't split apart 2:27
Alternative explanation 4:56
What are pulsars? 5:30
What if a pulsar entered our solar system 6:52
What do other scientists think? 8:35 #milkyway #space #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– From the very beginning, some scientists hoped that the mysterious glow was somehow connected to the long-sought-after and enigmatic “dark matter.” – There’s a theory that dark matter works as a sort of glue that keeps things together. Thanks to this sticky stuff, galaxies don't split apart, stars don't collide with one another, and our Earth doesn't stray off its orbit into open space.
– By calling it "dark" matter, scientists aren’t talking about the color. They just mean that this space phenomenon doesn't emit either any radiation or light visible to the human eye. – Some astronomers supposed that the central region of the Milky Way was glowing with such intensity because dark matter was getting destroyed there.
– If the mystifying glow was created by dark matter annihilation, then gamma-ray particles would get distributed in space evenly. But the telescope showed them gathering in clumps. – But there is an alternative explanation of why the Milky Way is glowing. The culprit might be a group of millisecond pulsars, which are neutron stars rotating really really fast.
– Pulsars are the lighthouses of the Universe, although not in the meaning that they save spacecraft from collision! It’s more in the fact that they emit focused beams of radiation that you can only see if you get in their path. – If a pulsar were to enter our solar system one day, it’d be a bad situation to say the least. The spinning invader would wreak havoc and chaos by throwing the planets off their orbits (probably pulling away one or two of them).
– Several studies have concluded that, due to the nature of the light, millisecond pulsars are the best explanation for this phenomenon. – But that doesn’t mean all scientists are convinced. They state that these clumps may be a result of the interaction of gas between stars and cosmic rays. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

– The Rainbow Lift helps move your glutes both up and down, and back and forth. It works all 3 of your gluteus muscles, and as an added bonus, your abs as well.
– The Donkey Kicks is super-efficient if you want to tone the muscles of your butt. What’s more enticing is that this exercise also helps to sculpt your abs and strengthen the spine. – The Fire Hydrant Kicks works your abs, glutes, hips, and lower body, so you’ll be more than bootylicious; you’ll have flaunt-worthy abs as well. – Bound Tiger Pose warms and stretches the back muscles and spine. Although the Tiger Pose has many versions, we’ll stick with the classic one here. Apart from toning your butt, this exercise strengthens the muscles of the digestive system, boosting metabolism and promoting digestion.
– Squats need no introduction. They’re among the most popular and effective exercises with a whole lot of benefits. They target multiple muscles in your entire lower body, including your quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings, and your whole posterior. – Curtsy Squats are an excellent exercise if you want a toned butt and shapely inner thighs. Even though they’re simple to do, beginners often end up doing it incorrectly.
– Although extremely simple, Ski Squats, just like its other squat siblings, are very effective in targeting the butt… muscles.
– The Sumo Walk is great for toning your glutes, hip flexors, and quadriceps. It also engages the hamstrings. – The Glute Bridge is an excellent exercise for people who spend long hours at the office, sitting at a desk. It strengthens the glutes, hamstrings, hip muscles, lower back muscles, and promotes better posture. – Any squat is perfect for shaping your…c butt, but Malasana or Deep Squat is among those that specifically target the buttock region. This simple yoga pose not only sculpts your rear, but it also stretches your neck, hamstrings, spine, and ankles.
– Awkward Pose Yoga has so many benefits that you’ll almost forget that getting a beautiful butt is one of them. Among its advantages are correcting your posture, improving body balance, reducing stress, and combating depression. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-

A Man Flew in a Chair on 45 Balloons But Got Arrested



… They cut the cord and seconds later, the man sitting on a lawn chair tied to a balloon cluster was soaring up among the clouds. This sounds like some kind of Up-style fairytale, but, believe it or not, this story actually happened for real in 1982! Once upon a time, in 1949 to be more precise, a boy named Larry Walters was born in Los Angeles, California. He dreamed of the sky, but his dream to be a US Air Force pilot was not destined to come true because of his poor eyesight. So Larry became a truck driver and lived like any other person in San Pedro. But his love for the sky and his dream to fly didn’t go away though. Larry remembered an idea that occurred to him when he was 13. Back then, he first saw weather balloons hanging off the ceiling at a military store… Other videos you might like:

Cluster ballooning 6:46
The longest duration flight by helium balloons 8:33 #ClusterBallooning #LarryWalters #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
– To figure out how many balloons he’d need for the experiment, he had to have done some calculations.
– To lift a person weighing 175 pounds, you’d need a whopping 5,700 balloons! But if you get 10-foot army surplus store balloons instead, you’d only need like 8 of those to fly. – Larry was true to his dream, and went for weather balloons instead. Together with his then-girlfriend, he bought 45 weather balloons and helium tanks. – So, “Lawnchair Larry”, as he was nicknamed later, strapped on a parachute, commanded his friends to cut the cord tied to his Jeep, and soared into the sky. – The wind was blowing strong in his face, and the speed he was moving wasn’t ideal for stopping.
– Things were getting out of control: Larry was way higher, moving way faster, and going way further than he planned.
– The balloons that got tangled on the power lines in Long Beach caused a massive power outage that lasted 20 minutes. – Long Beach authorities arrested him, but soon let him go with a fine of $4,000.
– After his beautiful flight, “Lawnchair Larry” appeared on the Tonight Show and Late Night With David Letterman.
– To top it all off, there was even an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants “The Sponge Who Could Fly” inspired by the story. – Larry Walters might not have become the most successful motivational speaker, but he sure motivated quite a few people to follow his example.
– He inspired a whole extreme sport named cluster ballooning. Its fans strap themselves in a harness and attach themselves to rubber balloons filled with helium to fly. – The Guinness Book of World Records currently features the longest duration flight by helium balloons that lasted 13 hours, 36 minutes, and 57 seconds.

The Only Way to Survive a Long Fall from a Plane Without a Parachute



Imagine: you’re flying! But wait, where’s the plane? A wingsuit? Parachute? Anything! Uh-oh, looks like you’re 6 miles high and free-falling! So, is this it or is there a way to hack yourself out of this dire situation? A person’s chances of survival when falling from a height of 35,000 feet (10,000 m) are slim. Anyway, despite this poor outlook, you still have a glimmer of hope! You’ll be surprised to know that if you were to stumble from the top of a tall building, you’d be in a much worse situation! Actually, there is a book that lists over 200 cases of people falling from a plane without a parachute and living to tell the tale. Other videos you might like:

– Right from the get-go, you’d probably pass out because there’s not much oxygen when you’re 6 miles (10 km) up in the atmosphere. – Earth’s gravity is pulling you down and trying to accelerate you. On the other hand, like any moving object, you’re facing air resistance, which is kind of a drag. – If you were falling from a skyscraper, you’d land with the same force as when you fall from a 6-mile height. But you’d only have 12 seconds to prepare for contact, versus having approximately 3 minutes when falling from a plane.
– The first scenario is when you’re free-falling with just yourself and the clothes on your back. The second way is to try and become a “wreckage rider.”
– In 1972, Serbian flight attendant Vesna Vulović incidentally broke a world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute.
– In 1943, American military pilot Alan Magee survived a 20,000-foot (6,000 m) absolute free-fall that ended with him crashing through the glass ceiling of the St. Nazaire train station in France.
– Not water! When you’re falling at 120 mph (190 kph) from 6 miles (10 km) high, water will feel like concrete.
– Look for something that can soften the blow – a snow bank or slope, a haystack, a big tree. Marshland is ideal since it’s soft and swampy. Just watch out for the gators afterward.
– Now that you’ve chosen your target, you need to try and direct your fall. To slow down, spread your arms and legs apart (think flying squirrel!), throw your head back, and straighten your shoulders.
– You’re not skydiving in this scenario. Just remember that no matter what the surface below is, you need to avoid landing on your head. – If you’re falling with your head down and can do nothing about it, try to land on your face. It sounds counter-intuitive, but it’s better than hitting the top or back of your skull. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz —————————————————————————————-
