Fun Facts of the day



Earth is not as round as you thought.

Or at least, it's not a perfect sphere. As NASA explains, "because of the force caused when Earth rotates, the North and South Poles are slightly flat. Earth's rotation, wobbly motion, and other forces are making the planet change shape very slowly, but it is still round."



Hippos produce their own sunblock.

Hippos can work on their tans without having to worry about getting burned since their skin naturally secretes an oily red substance that acts as a moisturizer and sunblock, according to an article published in the journal Nature. And according to the San Diego Zoo, the red color sometimes makes onlookers believe they're sweating blood

Jellyfish can sting even when they're dead.

Jellyfish can be a nasty thing to encounter in the water, and they don't even have to be alive to leave a painful sting on anyone in its path. The New York Times reports that this was something a group of 150 people discovered in 2010 while swimming at Wallis Sands State Park in New Hampshire, when a 40-pound body of a lion's mane jellyfish floated through the water, stinging at will.

The magnetic North Pole is moving.

Distinct from the geographic North Pole, the magnetic North Pole—used in compass navigation— is in northern Canada and moves about 10 kilometers a year. As Scientific American explains, the shift occurs "under the influence of the dynamo currents in the Earth's core, as well as electric currents flowing in the ionosphere, the radiation belts, and the Earth's magnetosphere."

Mysterious sand dune holes baffled Indiana for years.

For years, mysterious 10-feet deep sand holes kept appearing, then disappearing in dunes at a national park in Indiana. After multiple people—including a six-year-old boy—fell in, scientists discovered that the holes were formed when sand-covered trees decayed over time.

A 2016 study by Indiana University Northwest's department of geosciences found that the trees were once covered in fungi that formed a cement-like substance that held its shape even when the tree rotted away. When the cement-like covering and the sand around it eventually gave way, it formed the holes.
