Btw, you might be surprised to learn that zero hasn’t been around forever. Yes, we used to live in a world without it! It was invented in India during the 5th century. But why did it take humanity so long to understand something as basic as “zero”? You can see those 3 birds perched on a tree branch or those 2 bees flying around your 1 can of soda. But zero? The absence of something?

Just one innocent question about the vastness and awesomeness of the Universe can make dozens more pop-up in your head. Can stars turn into planets? What are stars made of? Can a black hole swallow a star? Thanks to new technology, spacecraft, and probes, scientists accumulate new data about the Universe and the Solar System on a daily basis. Today we know about the Big Bang, black holes, and other galaxies. How about learning more about stars? Do you know, for example, that out of the hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way, we won’t see an absurd majority of them? They’re either hidden by something or too dim to be visible. In a clear night sky and without any light to pollute the picture, you’ll be able to see around 3,000 stars. Some other objects you may see are planets, distant galaxies, satellites, or even the International Space Station. Interested? Then here's another compilation of surprising facts about space!

These massive stretches of salty goodness are home to some of the world's most fascinating creatures, from the tiniest plankton to the largest whales. While we may have given these oceans separate names, they are constantly mixing and mingling with one another, regardless of how we chose to draw our maps. So they meet, but do they actually mix?

Whenever you hear about ancient ruins, you almost never picture them being suspended somewhere, or just randomly hanging on the branch of a tree, right? In fact, for most of the ancient artifacts we have exposed in museums all over the world, archeologists did quite an impressive amount of digging!
