In January 1992, two cosmic objects forever changed our galaxy. For the first time, we had concrete evidence of extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, orbiting an alien star: two rocky worlds, whirling around a star 2,300 light-years away. Now, just over 30 years later, that number has exploded. This week, March 21 marked the hugely significant milestone of over 5,000 exoplanets confirmed. To be

Krubera Cave is so deep that it has (rightfully so) earned the nickname of being the 'Everest' of all cave systems. There are many areas on earth that still remained unexplained and unexplored, such as the deepest parts of the ocean, and intricate cave systems are no different. While there's an air of mystery and intrigue to a cave such as this one, which bottoms out at a depth of 7,208 feet, t
We like to think that only those in power can shape the course of humanity. That us average folk have no say in a serious matter. But one popular Instagram account is trying to prove the opposite. Called "Working Class History", it's making posts to show everyone that "history isn't made by kings or politicians, it is made by us: billions of ordinary people." From protesters fighting for
It’s been said that love can move mountains, but one California couple has proven that it can also climb them. Ashley Schmeider and James Sisson felt that a run-of-the-mill wedding ceremony wasn’t right for them – so they decided to get married on Mount Everest instead.

Beth Moon, a photographer based in San Francisco, has been searching for the world’s oldest trees for the past 14 years. She has traveled all around the globe to capture the most magnificent trees that grow in remote locations and look as old as the world itself. “Standing as the earth’s largest and oldest living monuments, I believe these symbolic trees will take on a greater significa
The annual World Nature Photography Awards (WNPA) have just announced their 2021 winners, and the pictures are stunning. The top award and cash prize of $1,000 went to Amos Nachoum from the United States for his image of a leopard seal about to capture a defenseless Gentoo penguin. Nachoum waited patiently for hours on the remote island of Plano, off the Antarctic Peninsula, for the righ
While redheads have become synonymous with Ireland and Scotland, American photographer Brian Dowling who now lives in Berlin(Germany), photographed over 130 redheads from 20 different countries for his project “Redhead Beauty”. Red hair is the rarest hair color in the world and is caused by a gene mutation know as MC1R which affects about 1% of the world population. This gene mutation can a
The odds of seeing a deer are pretty high if you live close to a forest. Just in my own neighborhood the other day, I saw one roaming around in a neighbor’s backyard. A lot of people find deer to be a nuisance, claiming that the animals ruin their backyards by stomping on their plants and eating their grass and flowers. Having said that, I think this story might melt even the coldest of he
If you are a fan of fantasy movies, then there must have been so many times when you wished that the mystical animals in them actually existed in real life. Now wouldn’t that have been awesome? Luckily for us, the great eared nightjars appear to be creatures that came right out of a fantasy movie and they are very much real. The great eared nightjar is a bird found in the tropical forests of
Everyone was hoping that this day wouldn’t come, everyone was scared that it probably would. This morning, on February 24, 2022 at 4 am (EET), Russia invaded Ukraine—at the same time in the morning when Germany bombarded Kyiv in 1941. World countries one after another are condemning this attack and High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of EU C
