NASA's Curiosity rover has just stumbled upon the wildest rock formation ever. From objects shaped like fish backbones to ones that resemble traffic lights, Curiosity has given us plenty to marvel at.

Spaceships are not like your regular cars running out of fuel on the highway. Space is like a friction-free paradise! Unlike ships in water that need a constant push to keep going, spaceships have got it all figured out. Once those engines are turned off, their momentum takes over and propels them forward at a steady pace. It’s a cosmic roller coaster with no brakes. But does it mean spaceships never run out of gas?

What role do fingerprints play in our lives? Yes, detective movies give a clear answer to this question. Also, scientists have only recently found out that fingerprints serve a person as the main mechanism of touch. Without them, it'd be difficult for you to read information and interact with whatever you're touching or holding in your hands. Patterns on the fingers play a very important role in the fine motor skills of the hands. Thanks to them, we can easily separate thin pages of paper from each other, type on a keyboard, get cards and money from our wallets, play the piano, guitar, etc. But besides that, could fingerprints determine your character?

What can you find with a metal detector? Coins, jewelry, ancient coins artifacts... Finding some money on the ground a hundred years ago, you could think yourself lucky.

Or check your surroundings before picking up such items. If you feel somebody’s watching or following you, leave it be. What about electronic devices? Well, if you see a radio transmitter, mobile phone, or tablet lying on the road, never touch it: it might be unsafe and put there on purpose so that you — or any curious person —picks it up. So, here’s a list of things you should never pick up.
