There's a terrifying yet incredibly beautiful place, where water and sky mix into one picture. Where you’ll find virtually no living creatures for thousands of miles. Anyone who manages to get there will feel like the loneliest person. Destination: Point Nemo, the most remote place on Earth.

So, to get to the most isolated spot on Earth, you'll need to arrive on the coast of Chile and rent an old fishing boat. From here, you’ll have to sail through the South Pacific Ocean toward New Zealand. 2,500 miles to your destination…and just as many on the way back. Point Nemo is a junkyard for space debris since there’s no one here to disturb.

Some crazy things sometimes happen in this world... so what if you woke up as the giant sea monster Kraken one day?

What's the brightest star in the sky? What's the farthest human-made object in space? What's the smallest planet? There's a lot to wonder about space. We probably don't know all the answers but things we do know are really amazing. Tiny black holes, planets made of diamonds, stars no hotter than a cup of tea, and giant clouds of gas able to take almost any shape.

In space, anything is possible. For example, there's a really hot planet made of ice! The surface temperature here should be at around 830°F, but the ice doesn’t melt because of the planet’s enormous gravity. Or did you know that theres's a huge molecular cloud not far from the center of the Milky Way? Scientists recognized more than 50 different molecules in it, but one of them is the same stuff that makes the taste of raspberries!

When you come to the hottest place on Earth for the first time, you may be tricked into thinking you're suddenly surrounded by ice. But it's actually salt, left here from when the rainwater evaporates. Should you ever get to the top of the sand dunes of Death Valley, you may be lucky enough to experience one of the strangest things in the desert – singing sand. If you think things can’t possibly get any stranger in this surreal location, hear me out: some of the rocks here seem to be moving on their own! Could it be the wind that's moving them, or maybe there is some other reason?

Sending 1 lb of cargo into space costs about $10,000! So how do space agencies afford to send supplies like oxygen, water, and food to their astronauts? Before they found a more efficient solution, they’d pack all the water into space with them in their rockets. The water took up a lot of room that could’ve otherwise been used for other supplies. That, and the added weight wasted fuel. So short answer: nope, it doesn’t go with the crew from the get-go. That means they deliver it, right? That’d be too risky…and expensive! There’s no 100% guarantee that something bad won’t happen to the cargo ship at launch or on the way to the International Space Station. If the cargo doesn’t get to the station, then the next delivery will have to wait a very long time. That’s not an option since it’s dangerous for the astronauts. Ok, so let’s break it down item by item.

There's literally no place on Earth where you can escape insects unless you’re ready to swim since they don’t live in the oceans. They might as well be the largest network of secret agents on the planet, as insects have ears on their wings, some on their legs, and some even on their abdomen and necks. A lot of these bugs live pretty lonely lives, but there are some of them that actually have families! Ants don't take any fall damage because they're not nearly heavy enough to impact the surface they hit. Speaking of ants, there is about 1 quadrillion of them on the planet at any given
