Greek whale strands dead, humans are to blame
There are some very special creatures in the ocean, such as whales. Although we call them whales, they are not real fish. Unlike fish, whales are aquatic mammals. That said, whales are viviparous and breathe with lungs, and they need to surface frequently for air. Because whales are so large that they cannot survive in shallow waters, these whales can be life-threatening if they become stranded on the coast. For example, on April 19, 2022, a huge sperm whale was stranded on the coast in the waters of Xiangshan County, Ningbo. Because the sperm whale was over 19 meters long and weighed 70 tons, it was very difficult to rescue the sperm whale. Fortunately, with the efforts of rescuers, the sperm whale stranded on the coast finally returned to the sea safely.

Mysterious islands in the South Pacific appear and disappear
There are many large and small islands on the earth, and some islands are far away from people and may not be known by too many people or visited by too many people.

However, some situations are quite strange. Some islands appear on the satellite map, but when we go to the scene, we cannot find these islands. What is going on?

"Fireball" reappears in the American night sky?
I believe everyone still remembers that we have shared a topic before, that is, a roaring fireball appeared in the sky of the United States at about 8:00 a.m. on April 27, 2022. At first, scientists believed that the flying speed of this roaring fireball may reach an hourly speed. 55,000 miles, or 24,587 meters per second, which is at least twice the speed of Earth's second universe. Later, new research by scientists showed that the speed of the roaring fireball may not be as fast as previously predicted, about 35,000 miles per hour, or 15.6 kilometers per second. Although not as fast as predicted at the beginning, this speed is still quite astonishing, faster than the vast majority of human aircraft and spaceships.
