The trees in Socotra look like the umbrellas of giant frogs. The animals here are considered as quite strange. The plants and environment are unlike anywhere else in the world. You will feel like another planet or a different world altogether. You might think aliens live here. This place is called Socotra. Deep Socotra rises on the shores of the Arabian Sea off Yemen. Long ago, Arab sailors lived here. Ships from Socotra used to travel around the world to supply sugar. The trees that look like frog umbrellas have a sticky substance like blood in them. This is used…

There are things about black holes that really spark our imaginations. Maybe it’s because a star has to die to create a black hole! What goes into a black hole can never come back out. At its center is something called “non-existence,” which is the most mysterious thing in the universe. In fact, time and space don’t work the way we think they do inside a black hole. Whatever the reason for this is, it’s quite a mystery. Albert Einstein explained the motion of the universe with his theories. Einstein didn’t think about black holes in the way we do…

In the world of astronomy, the definition of “planet” is always evolving with new discoveries. Right now, the term “planet” is defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), but this definition is being questioned. The IAU says a planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun is round due to its own gravity and has cleared its orbit of other objects. This definition only applies to our solar system, causing debates among scientists. Expanding the Definition of Planets The universe is vast with many celestial bodies orbiting stars outside our solar system. This makes us wonder: shouldn’t the definition…

The ozone layer, which protects us from the sun’s harmful rays, has been healing over the past few decades for the international efforts like the Montreal Protocol. A new challenge has emerged: wildfires. Recent research has found that large wildfires can impact the ozone layer in unexpected ways. This discovery highlights how natural events can affect our atmosphere. Scientists studied how wildfires affect the ozone layer by looking at a smoke-charged vortex (SCV). This is a powerful, smoke-filled whirlpool created by wildfires, which pulls smoke high into the atmosphere, up to 35 kilometers. This was observed during the 2019/20 Australian…

Cox’s Bazar has the longest attractive sea beach in the world. The unique red crabs here fascinate tourists all the time. A few years ago, many red crabs could be seen at Sugandha, Kalatali, and Lavanya points in Cox’s Bazar. This attracted both local and foreign tourists. Less rainfall and higher temperatures are making things worse for the red crabs. Illegal fishing on the coast of Cox’s Bazar is another big threat to them, especially with the use of prohibited nets. If the population remains low but the natural environment improves, the red crabs can still breed well. Several programs…

Blackview is a brand known for its rugged phones and tablets, but recently, it has started making Mini PCs too. The MP100 is one of their new mini PCs, featuring a colorful LED design on the top. This chip was first seen in 2021 and has since been replaced by newer models. One downside is that the MP100 uses DDR4 memory instead of the newer DDR5, and the graphics aren’t as powerful as those in newer Ryzen machines. Still, you can add a lot of memory and storage to this small PC. There are more powerful and cheaper options available,…

A new dinosaur species, Comptonatus chasei, has been discovered on the Isle of Wight. This find is a major step in understanding the variety of dinosaurs from the Cretaceous period in England. Ongoing research suggests there might be even more significant discoveries ahead. Jeremy Lockwood, a retired doctor and PhD student at the University of Portsmouth, helped dig up the dinosaur and spent years studying its 149 bones. He found out that it was a new type of dinosaur, which he named Comptonatus chasei to honor Nick. Jeremy said, “Nick had an amazing talent for finding dinosaur bones, like a…

As you enjoy a peaceful picnic by a lake, it’s alarming to know that these calm waters are in serious danger. Lakes all over the world are getting warmer at an unprecedented rate. A recent study meticulously outlines the scientific details behind this concern. This research is a collaborative effort by limnologists and climate modelers from various backgrounds. The lead scientist, Dr. Lei Huang, gained postdoctoral research experience at the IBS Center for Climate Physics in Busan, South Korea, and now works at Capital Normal University in Beijing, China. The findings of the team are indeed sobering. If the current…

Water striders are fascinating insects that live on the surface of water. They have long legs, ranging from a few to over 100 millimeters, which allow them to stay afloat without sinking. These legs create dimples on the water’s surface, and heavier water striders create deeper dimples that generate a stronger upward force, supporting their bodies. When water striders need to escape from predators lurking beneath the water, they perform an incredible feat—they jump upward at an astonishing speed of over 1 meter per second within just 10 to 20 milliseconds. They achieve this without breaking the water surface, thanks…
