The Most Unusual Planets in the Universe
On the planet t-r-e-s-2b, the night never ends. This isn't your typical Knight, where stars shine in lovely skies; instead, it's utterly dark and sweltering. In the star system of 55 Cancri, there are five planets, four of which are gas giants similar to Jupiter and Saturn, but the fifth planet, or rather the first because it's closest to the star, is different in a horrifying way.

These Ancient Animals Scarier Than Dinosaurs
The first thought would be that there is hardly anyone on Earth who has never heard of dinosaurs; in fact, we learn about them as children from cartoons, toys, drawings, movies, videos, articles, and even everyday advertisements. Because ancient lizards are frequently shown in unexpected places, the average city dweller knows more about dinosaurs than about a bird perched on a branch outside their window. Are there many people who are knowledgeable about what existed before the dinosaurs? What animals lived 100 million years before them? What terrifying beasts lived 50 million years after them? We bet there are far fewer experts here, but there must have been
