Did You Know?

Did you know that a Day on Venus is Longer Than a Year on Venus?

Venus is a fascinating planet! Did you know it takes longer for Venus to rotate once on its axis than it does for it to orbit the Sun? A single day on Venus is about 243 Earth days, while a year on Venus is around 225 Earth days. So, if you lived there, you'd have a birthday before the day was over!

Did you know that the Shortest War in History Lasted Only 38 Minutes?

In 1896, the Anglo-Zanzibar War between the British Empire and the Sultanate of Zanzibar held the record for the shortest war in history, lasting only 38 minutes! The British emerged victorious in record time.

Do you know that there's a Jellyfish That Can Live Forever?

The Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the immortal jellyfish, can potentially live forever. When it's injured or old, it can revert to its juvenile form and start its life cycle all over again. This process is called transdifferentiation.
