Fun Fact of the day

 

Tree seeds were taken into orbit and planted as "Moon Trees."

When astronaut Stuart Roosa, a former U.S. Forest Service smoke jumper, orbited above the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971, he brought with him hundreds of seeds from five different kinds of trees: loblolly pine, sycamore, sweetgum, redwood, and Douglas fir.

When he returned to Earth, the seeds were planted throughout the U.S. and around the world in order to grow into what were affectionately deemed "Moon Trees." If you're interested in seeing one in person, you can find a list of the trees as well as their locations on NASA's website.

Tarantula bites are about as painful as bee stings.

Despite their incredibly scary reputation, it turns out that tarantulas have a bite that is about as painful and as venomous as a bee sting. And according to Burke Museum, "None of the North American species or those commonly kept as pets are considered to pose even a mild bite hazard."

In fact, the museum's website says, "Hollywood is squarely to blame for these spiders' toxic-to-humans reputation. Tarantulas are large, photogenic and many are easily handled, and therefore they have been very widely used in horror and action-adventure movies."

There is a fish with transparent bones and white blood.

There are some pretty extraordinary creatures living down in the deep sea. Take, for instance, the Antarctic blackfin icefish. Not only does this creature lack scales and have transparent bones, but it's also unique in that it doesn't have red blood cells or hemoglobin pigments for transporting oxygen, causing the fish to have a very unique characteristic: white blood.

The stars and flashes of light you see when you rub your eyes are called "phosphenes."

Rubbing your eyes a little too hard might leave you seeing stars—which are actually phosphenes, according to Troy Bedinghaus, OD, of Verywell Health. "The optic nerve translates this pressure into various images," Bedinghaus says. "Pressure phosphenes can remain for a few seconds after the rubbing stops and the eyes are opened, allowing the phosphenes to be seen."

Fun Fact of the day

 

Singapore plans to build floating burbs.

With a fast-growing population of nearly 6 million people, all of whom must cram on a mere 719 square kilometers—or about 447 square miles—of land, Singapore needs more space than ever. And, according to a report in Hakai magazine, they're working on plans to create that space on 40 floating rafts.

The each individual section would be about the size of a baseball diamond, weigh more than 7.5 metric tons, and be tethered to the seabed about 18 meters below.

Fun Fact of the day

 


The first TV commercial didn't air until the 1940s.

On July 1, 1941, the Brooklyn Dodgers were playing the Philadelphia Phillies in New York at Ebbets Field. And while the game was surely exciting on its own, those who were watching at home on the NBC-owned WNBT— now WNBC—also saw another exciting historical moment: the very first TV commercial shown in the United States.

As reported by WJCT News, the ad cost just $9 and was disarmingly simple: Over a silhouette of the continental United States, a watch face pops up, and a voiceover says, "America runs on Bulova time." Today, of course, America runs on Dunkin'.
