The tallest bridge the world is the Millau Viaduct, a cable-stayed type bridge, located in Millau, France. The structural height of the Millau Viaduct is 1,104 feet (336.4 meters). nudes
The Dancing Plague of 1518: In 1518, people in Strasbourg, France, started dancing uncontrollably. One woman began, and soon many others joined, dancing for days. Some historians think they had mass hysteria or food poisoning from moldy rye.
Earth’s magnetic poles flip roughly every 200k to 300k years, but the last reversal was about 780k years ago. Some scientists think we’re overdue, but the timing is unpredictable and could take thousands of years. A flip might disrupt technology and
NOAA’s solar coronagraph on the L-1 observatory is now active, improving solar monitoring by capturing the Sun’s corona to track phenomena like CMEs. This tool enhances space weather forecasting, which is crucial to minimize disruptions on Earth, suc
There are more trees on Earth than stars in the Milky Way galaxy. While the Milky Way contains hundreds of billions of stars, the number of trees is estimated to be in the trillions
Astronomers found 52 binaries of main-sequence stars and white dwarfs in open clusters using AI and Gaia data. These systems reveal the common-envelope phase, crucial for studying stellar evolution, supernovae, and gravitational waves.
Mount Everest is growing every year. The high erosion of the combined rivers supercharged Everest's growth, adding around two millimeters of additional height each year.
Astronomers found white dwarf-main sequence binaries in young star clusters using machine learning and Gaia data. The 52 candidates provide insights into stellar evolution, Type Ia supernovae, and gravitational waves, linking early and late binary star p
