http://youtu.be/-aIqBPiQQRM In space, inky darkness between blinding points of light does a great job. It hides black holes – gaping, hungry, and scary. Their blackness makes it really difficult for astronomers to find detailed information about these space monsters. There's a hypothetical type of black hole called primordial that could be filling the universe. As in, thousands of them crammed together in clusters the size of the distance between our Sun and the nearest star! Even more bizarre: these black holes could actually be the mysterious dark matter that's baffled scientists for decades! Astronomers know its exists and that it makes up 80% of the universe. But they can't find a single particle of the stuff. Maybe because the "stuff" was a black hole the entire time! When you th...

http://youtu.be/zBWqXrxo-Vg The huge chunk of ocean between Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico remains the planet's most mysterious place. But it’s not alone. Alaska has its own triangle. Since the late 80s, 16,000 people have disappeared there. Eyewitnesses to the Bermuda Triangle anomaly talk about thick fog, lightning, balls of light, and hallucinations. In Alaska, everything’s a bit more complicated. People, planes, ships…they just disappear without a trace. There’s no one around to tell us what it felt like. In 1950, a plane took off from Anchorage, Alaska, headed for Great Falls, in Montana. It was carrying 8 crew members and 36 passengers. 2 hours after the start of the flight, the captain radioed in that everything was fine. Then: silence. The 100 ft long plane seemed to evaporate i...

http://youtu.be/SNH5fGpm954 Imagine a land bridge that once connected Britain to mainland Europe, called Doggerland. Around 8,000 years ago, a massive megaflood wiped it off the map. This flood, caused by melting glaciers and a huge underwater landslide, created the North Sea as we know it today. People living there had to flee as their homes were swallowed by water. Today, archaeologists find remnants of this lost land underwater, giving us clues about the ancient world that disappeared in the blink of an eye.

http://youtu.be/Zrxy5kYUH7w The Black Sea is full of mysteries and interesting facts! Using remote-controlled vehicles, researchers found more than 40 ancient sunken ships in great condition underwater. There's a theory called "The Black Sea Deluge Hypothesis," which suggests the Black Sea was once a big freshwater lake that flooded quickly, in just 1-3 years. Beneath the sea, there’s a vast network of tunnels that might connect Romania and Turkey, with chisel marks showing they were man-made, but no one knows who made them. Plus, the Black Sea has two layers of water: a habitable freshwater layer on top and a deep, salty layer below where only bacteria and microorganisms live.

http://youtu.be/enlcKClZzD8 Imagine a flood so massive it reshaped entire landscapes. That’s what happened with the megaflood during the Ice Age, known as the Missoula Floods. Huge glacial lakes in North America suddenly burst, releasing water that tore through the land at incredible speeds. This powerful force carved out canyons, created vast valleys, and left behind massive boulders scattered like pebbles. It was one of the most dramatic geological events ever, forever changing Earth's geography. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV A...

http://youtu.be/JB4FB2GWy1c The Tigris River drying up has revealed some amazing discoveries! As the water receded, it uncovered ancient cities and artifacts that were hidden for centuries. Archeologists found old structures, pottery, and even cuneiform tablets with ancient writing. These finds give us a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the civilizations that once thrived there. It's like a real-life treasure hunt, showing how nature can unveil secrets from the past! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast - https...

http://youtu.be/A2r3lWFvDJs There was a point in history when humans came really close to extinction. Around 70,000 years ago, a supervolcano erupted in Indonesia, creating a massive climate change. This event, called the Toba catastrophe, caused temperatures to drop and resources to become scarce. It's believed that the human population dwindled to just a few thousand individuals. Despite the odds, our ancestors survived and thrived, leading to the diverse world we have today! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Apple Podcast - https:...

http://youtu.be/joodK4MOqTk Around 800,000 to 900,000 years ago, a genetic bottleneck occurred, drastically reducing the human population. This event led to the extinction of 98.7% of the population, leaving only about 1,280 individuals. The main cause was a significant climate shift called the middle Pleistocene transition, which brought longer and harsher glacial cycles. This change made it difficult for early humans to hunt, forcing them to adapt while some animals went extinct. Scientists are still studying the exact cause and timing of this bottleneck.

http://youtu.be/yIo2DAV5HC8 The ghost ship Jenny is one of those eerie sea tales that gives you chills. In 1840, a whaling ship discovered Jenny frozen solid in the Drake Passage, near Antarctica. The crew was found perfectly preserved, still frozen in their last moments, with the captain’s log detailing their desperate struggle against the cold. They had been trapped in ice since 1823, drifting for 17 years. To this day, the story of Jenny serves as a haunting reminder of the ocean's unforgiving nature.

http://youtu.be/freEuvvNbPI Scientists measured sunlight on the Chajnantor Plateau, where the Atacama Large Millimeter Array is located, and found it to be 2,177 watts per square meter. This level of sunlight is similar to what you'd experience if you were 79% of the way from Earth to the Sun. How can a spot on Earth be as sunny as Venus? It turns out the clouds in the Atacama Desert are to blame. Instead of blocking sunlight, these clouds can sometimes focus the Sun’s rays onto the surface, like a magnifying glass.

http://youtu.be/iB8wGIoNWAs Ever wondered who ruled Mesoamerica, the Aztecs or the Mayans? The Mayans were first, building their amazing cities and pyramids in places like Guatemala and southern Mexico from around 2000 BCE. They were great at astronomy and had an advanced writing system. The Aztecs came later, dominating central Mexico with their powerful empire starting in the 14th century, known for their massive capital city, Tenochtitlán. Both civilizations were incredible in their own ways, but they ruled different parts of Mesoamerica at different times.

http://youtu.be/C-ARitEVVWY Billions, maybe even a trillion, cicadas are set to emerge in a super rare double-brood event. This means two broods, Brood XIII (which shows up every 17 years) and Brood XIX (every 13 years), will pop out at the same time. Entomologists, who study bugs, divide cicadas into these "broods" to track when they emerge. Usually, different broods come out at different times, but this year, both will appear together, something that last happened 221 years ago in 1803. This amazing synchronicity won’t happen again until 2245, and these broods are conveniently located right next to each other. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://...

http://youtu.be/6CSTxkJ53jA About 70,000 years ago, there was a huge piece of land off the coast of Australia that could have supported around half a million people. This land connected modern-day Indonesia to Australia and was part of the North-West Australian Shelf. It used to be part of a bigger landmass called Sahul, which linked Australia, New Guinea, and Tasmania into one continent. Today, scientists are mapping this lost "Atlantis" to learn more about it. It's fascinating to think about this ancient world that once existed! Credit: Greater Adria abstract graphic: By Douwe J.J. van Hinsbergen, Trond H. Torsvik, Stefan M. Schmid, Liviu C.

http://youtu.be/lTdTlL4Zuuo The 1883 eruption of Mount Krakatoa caused massive destruction with ash and smoke leading to a dramatic temperature drop and a tsunami that destroyed ships and towns. The lighthouse keeper survived and warned others of the danger. Many casualties resulted from tsunamis and volcanic mudflows, not just the eruption itself. The eruption also had long-lasting climate effects, causing global temperatures to drop for several years. Let's look at this and other natural events that have changed our planet. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/s...

http://youtu.be/W2TASiuqm1I Mount Kailash remains one of the greatest climbing mysteries, with all attempts by experienced mountaineers ending in failure. The mountain's ever-changing position disorients climbers, and mysterious blockages often appear on the paths. According to Tibetan folklore, an 11th-century Buddhist monk named Milarepa is the only person to have ever reached the summit. After his successful climb, Milarepa warned others not to attempt the ascent. Since then, no one else has been able to conquer Mount Kailash.

http://youtu.be/S4lZpLvYPkA Let's talk about Leonardo da Vinci – the OG supreme genius. This Renaissance superhero sketched flying machines before airplanes were a thing and had anatomy knowledge that would make modern doctors nod in approval. Da Vinci was multitasking like a pro – painting masterpieces like the Mona Lisa while casually inventing cool stuff like the prototype for a helicopter. Plus, he dabbled in pretty much everything – from engineering to anatomy, he was the ultimate polymath. No wonder they call him a genius – he was basically the original overachiever! 🎨✨ Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast...

http://youtu.be/CWiWYSDI0Ys Imagine living through the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried Pompeii in ash – way scarier than any horror movie! The Great Flood from ancient myths, like Noah’s Ark, would have been a terrifying sight with water everywhere. The Bronze Age collapse around 1200 BC saw entire civilizations fall apart, causing chaos and fear. The volcanic eruption in Santorini around 1600 BC devastated the Minoan civilization and sent shockwaves through the region. And let's not forget about the tsunami that hit the Minoan civilization around the same time, wiping out entire cities in a flash. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://ww...

http://youtu.be/aHr1KHzHAP0 Tornado Alley, traditionally located in the central U.S., is shifting eastward. States like Kansas and Oklahoma used to be the main hotspots, but now areas like Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee are seeing more tornadoes. The Southeast is getting more severe storms while the central plains are seeing a bit less. And, tornadoes this year are more likely to come in bunches - watch out! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ----...
