Who made these circles in the Sahara?
Sahara, (from Arabic ṣaḥrāʾ, “desert”) largest desert in the world. Filling nearly all of northern Africa, it measures approximately 3,000 miles (4,800 km) from east to west and between 800 and 1,200 miles from north to south and has a total area of some 3,320,000 square miles (8,600,000 square km); the actual area varies as the desert expands and contracts over time. The Sahara is bordered in the west by the Atlantic Ocean, in the north by the Atlas Mountains and Mediterranean Sea, in the east by the Red Sea, and in the south by the Sahel—a semiarid region that forms a transitional zone between the Sahara to the north and the belt of humid savannas to the south.

Ancient Aliens: Tesla's Secret Time Travel Connection
Serbian-American engineer and physicist Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) made dozens of breakthroughs in the production, transmission and application of electric power. He invented the first alternating current (AC) motor and developed AC generation and transmission technology. Though he was famous and respected, he was never able to translate his copious inventions into long-term financial success—unlike his early employer and chief rival, Thomas Edison.

Why does this forest look like a fingerprint?
Uruguay is a small country located on the southeastern coast of South America. Despite being overshadowed politically and economically by its larger neighbors Brazil and Argentina, with whom it shares many cultural and historical ties, Uruguay has significant advantages in terms of land area and population density. As historian Eduardo Galeano notes, Uruguay has five times more land than Holland but only a fifth of the population, and more arable land than Japan with a much smaller populace.

TOP 4 UNBELIEVABLE INSTANCES OF ALIENS & TIME TRAVEL | Ancient Aliens
In July 1935, renowned physicists Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen, while collaborating at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, published a groundbreaking idea. They concluded that the theory of relativity actually allows for shortcuts across the space-time continuum, known as Einstein-Rosen Bridges or more commonly, wormholes. These wormholes, they theorized, could connect distant locations, making interstellar travel a possibility.

How the Atomic Bomb Destroyed the Life of its Creator
As J. Robert Oppenheimer witnessed the successful detonation of the world's first nuclear weapon, he was haunted by its devastating implications. Recalling a line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, he said, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." Oppenheimer, a man of remarkable intellect and talents, spoke eight languages and wrote poetry, but he would forever be remembered as the "father of the atomic bomb" - the man who gave humanity the power to destroy itself.

How the Genius of Marie Curie Killed Her
In 1927, 29 of the world's leading physicists gathered at the prestigious Solvay Conference in Brussels. The sole female attendee was Marie Curie, a pioneering scientist with numerous groundbreaking achievements. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person to win the Nobel Prize twice, and the first to win in two different fields. Curie's work on radioactivity would save countless lives during World War I, though it ultimately contributed to her own demise.

The Planets
Mercury: Now that we have a solid understanding of the formation of the universe, the Milky Way, and the solar system, as well as a brief history of how humans have come to comprehend the solar system, we are ready to examine each object in the solar system in detail. We will be moving forward in time from the previous chapter, as significant advancements have been made in astronomy since Newton's era, but we will later revisit and discuss 20th-century discoveries and the current frontiers of the field and their implications. Let's start by looking at the planets one by one as astronomers currently perceive them. The eight planets can be grouped into two sets of four - the inner, terrestrial planets, which are small and rocky, and the outer, gaseous giants.

Star Systems and Types of Galaxies
When a high-mass star runs out of fuel in its core, the outer layers collapse inward rapidly, overcoming electron and neutron degeneracy pressure. This triggers a supernova explosion, leaving behind a single point containing most of the star's original mass - a black hole.
