8. Mermaids
Mermaids have been both romanticised and villanised in fiction. We have our lovable Little Mermaid, Ariel, who just wants to be connected with the human world. But then again, we also have the evil but beautiful sirens who would sooner lead humans to their while making them fall in love with their music.

7. The Beast of Dartmoor
In the southwest of England, a cluster of moors called Dartmoor is home to a lot of creepy stories and sightings. A lot of people claim that certain areas of Dartmoor are haunted which can easily be shrugged off. However, many people have not only seen this next creature, but they’ve taken pictures of it. Maybe you have!!!

6. Zombies
Many people actually believe that zombies are real.14% of Americans believe there is a small chance of a zombie apocalypse coming. All the zombie shows and movies aren’t helping so maybe these unreal creatures don’t need that much of an explanation...

5. Loch Ness Monster
Supposedly, the Loch Ness Monster inhabits Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. Last year, 2017, was a great year for Nessie sightings!! Many people have snapped pictures of what they believed to be the fabled sea serpent but they’ve always been on pixelated phones or the image moved too quickly to be able to clarify for certain whether or not it is the creature.

4. Dracula
While I could delve into the vast world of vampires throughout history, I’ll just focus on the most famous vampire that there is - Count Dracula. While Bram Stoker’s novel is entirely fictional, he was inspired by someone who is probably the closest historical evidence that we have of a real vampire.

3. Unicorns
Now you have unicorn everything!! You can’t step into a clothing store anywhere without seeing something with a unicorn on it. Unicorn makeup, glitter, tears...Starbucks even created a unicorn inspired frappuccino. But where did the idea of unicorns come from? Do people still think they can see them?

2. Bigfoot
This list would be incomplete without Big Foot. The sasquatch creature has been an unexplained phenomena for many years. Many people have claimed to have seen him themselves, there’s multiple pictures and videos but none of them are definitive evidence. Like any film taken on an old camera phone, they’re not entirely clear and could be anything - similarly to the Beast of Dartmoor.

1. Mummies
The idea of mummies has been scaring children - and some adults - for years. Especially if you’ve seen Scooby Doo, you know that the zombie-like Egyptians can be quite terrifying. Of course, mummification was very real, which is perhaps what makes them so creepy.

9. Dwarves
The dwarves were master smiths and craftspeople who lived underground in a place called Svartalfheim. Their home was believed to be a complex of labyrinths containing forges and mines.

8. Elves
Rumored to be more beautiful than the sun, the elves were tall, slim demi-gods with pale features that inhabited the realm of Alfheim, ruled by the god Freyr. Also called Ljósálfar, for the most part, elves stayed out of human affairs. The limited relationship between elves and humans was an ambivalent one.

7. Valkyries
Valkyries were beautiful maidens who served the god Odin. The name “Valkyrie” means “chooser of the slain”, and while that was true, they were also able to decide who died in battle and use malicious magic to ensure that things played out according to their plan.

6. Jormungand
Also known as the Midgard Serpent, Jormungand was a massive, dragon-like sea serpent who lived in the ocean surrounding Midgard, the visible world. He was so huge, his body wrapped entirely around it.

5. Draugar
Draugar were undead creatures with superhuman strength - they were essentially the zombies of Norse mythology. Their swollen and blackened appearance resembled that of a rotting corpse and they stunk of decay.

4. Fenrir
There are many wolves of Norse mythology, and Fenrir was the most infamous of them all. He was the brother of the Midgard Serpent, Jormungand. Like his sibling, Fenrir grew astonishingly fast, eventually causing the gods to chain him in an attempt to keep him under control.

3. Ratatoskr
Ratatoskr was a squirrel who ran up and down Yggdrasil, the tree of life, delivering messages between enemies. By all accounts, he had the appearance of a typical squirrel.

2. Fossegrim
Fossegrim, also known simply as grim, was a water spirit and an exceptionally talented fiddler who was most often depicted as a semi-clothed male fairy. He mimicked the sounds of the forest, wind, and water with his fiddle and you could sometimes convince him to teach the skill.

1. Mare
The Mare is what nightmares are made of - literally. This malicious monster slipped through cracks in walls and floors and “rode” on people’s chests while they slept, causing them to have awful dreams and, in some cases, sleep paralysis. In some variations of the myth, she specifically targeted men.

10. Hanging Coffins
All across central and southern China there are hanging coffins suspended on cliffs or placed in caves or crevices high up in the air. The mystery of the hanging coffins in China is believed to have been started by the Bo people and dates back to 3,000 years ago, although scholars aren’t quite clear why they did this, and most importantly, how they were able to place the coffins in such hard to reach places.

9. Underwater Buddha Statue
Renovation works often reveal long forgotten objects, but workers in the Jiangxi Province couldn’t have possibly expected to find something of such significance as they began construction of a hydropower gate on a reservoir. The work caused the water levels in the area to fall, which revealed a 600-year-old Buddha statue! Looking quite peaceful out over the water.

8. Ancient Murals
In 2013, archaeologists in Shuozhou city made a fascinating discovery… a tomb of a military commander and his wife, both of whom had died more than 1500 years ago. The treasures of the tomb and even the bodies themselves had been looted a long time ago, but a set of colorful murals remained remarkably intact. Covering about 860 square feet of plaster, they are of a man and a woman, who are thought to have been those who were buried in the tomb, in various poses.

7. Giant Cave Hall
In 2017, a team of researchers went to explore a sinkhole in China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and they couldn't believe what they found. Deep in the misty valleys in the ominous looking hole, is one of the most stunning cave halls in the world. To get there requires going down a rope at least 200 meters long (656 feet

6. An Extinct Ape in a Tomb
Tombs are very important historical sites that can tell us a lot about ancient people and how they lived. However, this one took everyone by surprise! One that was discovered in the Shaanxi province went further than that- because it contained the remains of an extinct species of ape.

5. The Truth Behind a Legend
There's an ancient Chinese legend that tells the story of a terrible flood along the Yellow River that, ultimately, led to the formation of the Xia dynasty just under 4000 years ago. According to the myth, a hero, named Yu, learned how to stop the approaching waters by dredging, which allowed him to establish the bronze age dynasty.

4. Huge Gold Find
It's hardly a secret that China is home to some of the richest mineral formations in the world but, in 2017, the country's second-largest gold mining company, the Shandong Gold Group, made an amazing announcement. They had found the largest gold deposit to have ever been discovered in the country.

3. Two New Dinosaurs
Covering such a large area, it’s perhaps no surprise that fossils are often discovered in China. In 2018, researchers announced the discovery of two new species of dinosaur, both of which were types of alvarezsaurus. These dinosaurs were theropods, which means they were meat eaters and were very similar to birds.

2. A Pyramid
When you think of pyramids, you will, of course, be reminded of those in Egypt, and maybe even Mexico…. But what about China? Researchers were excavating a site that was believed to be a part of the great wall, but they soon discovered something completely different. They began to uncover a 4300-year-old walled city, now referred to as Shimao, that is believed to be one of the largest of the ancient world- covering more than 400 hectares.

1. Blue Monster Tomb
In 2013 and 2014, researchers began to search inside a mysterious 1700 year tomb and were amazed at the intricate decorations that lay within. Located in the modern-day Xinzhou city, the tomb had been heavily looted, but some ornaments remained, along with some amazing murals.

10. T-Rex
In 2005, something that was previously thought to be impossible was found during an archaeological dig in Montana, and it would take 8 years before scientists could explain what had happened. The discovery was a leg fossil of an adolescent T-Rex, but inside it, there was some tissue that was described as being soft, transparent, and flexible.

9. Tail In Amber
With only fossils to go by, it's difficult to know exactly what species looked like a long time ago, but a discovery in 2015 helped us get a much better idea! Within a lump of amber that was on sale at a market in Myanmar, was a perfectly preserved prehistoric tail- complete with feathers.

8. Homotherium
It had long been thought that Homotherium, a type of saber-toothed cat from Europe, had gone extinct about 300,000 years ago, but analysis of a discovery in 2000 forced researchers to rethink everything.

7. Brachylophosaurus
One of the rarest fossils found in recent times was of a Brachylophosaurus canadensis. It was found in a canyon wall in Montana in the year 2000, and it took a demolition crew to fully remove the 18-foot piece of stone from the cliff. Fossils of the 77 million-year-old duck-billed dinosaur are hardly ever found, but this one was even more special because its skin had also fossilized.

6. Hematite Tubes
The earth is believed to be around 4.55 billion years old, but a recent discovery has found that it wasn't too long until the first signs of life began to emerge. Very few places on the planet have any rocks that are older than 3 billion years, but the places where some survive are the ideal hunting ground for ancient life.

5. Four Legged Snake
The evolutionary history of snakes has long been of interest to researchers- specifically whether they emerged from the oceans without limbs or whether this was an adaptation that developed later on. Fossils to prove one way or another were proving to be elusive, but one discovery that was announced in 2015 changed all that.

4. Protoceratops and Velociraptor
One of the most stunning fossils ever to be found was discovered by a team that was looking at white sandstone cliffs in the Gobi desert in southern Mongolia. Dated to around 80 million years ago, it's of two dinosaurs, a Velociraptor, and a Protoceratops, which were fighting each other when they were suddenly buried by a sand flow.

3. Baleen Whale
After originally having been found in 1978 and dismissed as unimportant, scientists returned to a fossil 30 years later and realized it was far more significant than was first thought. It had been discovered in a canyon in Palos Verdes in LA and is believed to be about 14 to 16 million years old.

2. Ichthyosaur
During the time of the dinosaurs, the oceans were just as dangerous as the land, and one of the most dominant predators to ever swim the seas was the Ichthyosaur. They evolved from land-based lizards who returned to the water around 250 million years ago, and the discovery in China of a fossil has given much clearer details of how they gave birth.

1. Nodosaur
In 2011, as a heavy machine operator dug up the ground at the Millenium mine in Alberta, he hit something that was noticeably harder than the surrounding rock. Strange colored lumps of rock started coming out and he realized he had found something unusual… something that turned out to be a very rare type of fossil.

7. NEKO
Thanks to her exceptionally well-hidden grave on the Greek island of Sikinos, a noblewoman named Neko and her precious gold jewelry remained undiscovered for 1,800 years. Greek archaeologists discovered Neko’s grave in 2018. Grave robbers didn’t miss out on her treasures for a lack of trying - in fact, they hit various other tombs on Sikinos, which is part of the Cyclades archipelago.

6. MAGNETIC STATUES
In a park within a small town called La Democracia, which is located near the Pacific Guatemalan coast, there’s a series of 11 ancient stone “potbelly” sculptures on display. Surprisingly, these sculptures are magnetized on certain parts, indicating that the pre-Columbian civilization that crafted them may have had a knowledge of magnetism.

5. SANDBY BORG
Around 1,600 years ago, a gruesome fight occurred at a fort called Sandby Borg on Sweden’s Öland Island. Hundreds of people were killed in the attack and left unburied. After the attack, the site was left alone by neighbors, leading researchers to believe that it was considered a taboo place.

4. Panga ya Saidi
The 1,076-square-foot main chamber of the Panga Ya Saidi cave network in Kenya’s Rift Valley bears evidence of 78,000 continuous years of human occupation. Let that sink in for a minute! It sits where grassland meets with coastal tropical forest, thus providing its former inhabitants with the convenient ability to exploit resources from both environments.

3. THOUSANDS OF TEETH
On two separate occasions in 2018, batches of over 1,000 teeth were discovered in different parts of the world. Last year, archaeologists conducting a preliminary excavation at the site of a future subway station began uncovering teeth. They ultimately collected over 1,000 teeth, which were estimated to be around a century old.

2. ATA
In 2003, someone discovered a naturally-mummified, six-inch-tall skeleton near a ghost town in the Chilean Atacama Desert. The skeleton was female and had unusually hard bones for her size, as well as a conical-shaped head. Rumors quickly spread that the skeleton was that of an alien. In 2012, a doctor named Steven Greer analyzed the skeleton, who was named Ata, using x-ray and CT imaging.

1. A RARE PAINTING OF JESUS
Earlier this year, archaeologists from the University of Haifa announced the discovery of a rare early painting of Jesus inside an ancient church in the Israeli village of Shivta. The 1,500-year-old depiction of Jesus looks quite different from the popular Western image of him. It was found in the Negev Desert of southern Israel among the ruins of a Byzantine-era farming village.

10. Mount Roraima
This giant plateau soars up into the sky and is often surrounded by a sea of clouds. It has its own very unique ecosystem with many tall waterfalls and highly specialized plant and animal species such as pitcher plants and the Roraima bush toad. Located on the border of Venezuela, Guyana, and Brazil, 75% of the mountain is in Venezuelan territory.

9. Pripyat
Following the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl in 1986, thousands of people were evacuated from the neighboring city of Pripyat. Over 30 years later, most of the town is still there, frozen in time and left to decay.

8. McMurdo Dry Valleys
The McMurdo Dry Valleys are a row of snow-free valleys in Antarctica. What? No snow in Antarctica???
That’s right. The Dry Valleys have extremely low humidity levels and the mountains around the valley prevent any ice from flowing down around it from glaciers.

7. Abandoned Military Hospital
Beelitz-Heilstätten is a district in Beelitz, Germany that is made famous by a hospital complex that contains almost 60 buildings. At first, the complex was built to treat TB and then became a sanatorium . But at the beginning of the first war, it became a military hospital.

6. Travertine Pools of Pamukkale
Pamukkale means "cotton castle" in Turkish which makes sense, once you see the pools in this place! They are made up of hot springs and travertines which are terraces of carbonate minerals left by the flowing water.

5. Richat Structure
The Richat Structure or the Eye of the Sahara is a mysterious round formation found in the Sahara near Mauritania.
It appears to be some sort of sci-fi experiment, but it is actually a deeply eroded, slightly elliptical dome that is 25 miles wide.

4. Shicheng, China
Shicheng City or China’s Atlantis or Lion City, is an underwater city in the Chinese province of Zhejiang. This city is strange for two reasons! It was forgotten and lost for thousands of years…and it has survived remarkably well underwater!

3. Fly Geyser
Likely the most beautiful geyser in the world, Fly Geyser can be found in Washoe County, Nevada. It is just 5 feet high, by 12 feet wide. So why is it is amazing or mysterious? Well look at it! It isn’t natural, but rather the result of a test site after a geothermal power company drilled into the rock.




2. The Maunsell Sea Forts
From afar, these guys look kind of like oil rigs or something, but they’re really just old sea forts known as the Maunsell Forts. These were built during WWII to help defend the UK. Each fort has built-in firearms and were originally used by both army and navy personnel, a rare occurrence.

1. Door to Hell
If the name isn’t enough to scare you, wait till you hear the story behind the Gates of Hell. Officially known as the Darvaza gas crater, the “door” is actually a natural gas field in Derweze, Turkmenistan. When seen up close, which you never ever really want to be, you will see fire, boiling mud, and orange flames in the hole.

8. BURMESE PYTHON
27 years ago, southern Florida was ravaged by Hurricane Andrew. The category 5 hurricane was the most destructive tropical storm to hit the state until Irma passed through during late 2017, and the damage was extensive. One unexpected consequence of Hurricane Andrew was the release of captive Burmese pythons into the regional ecosystem.

7. GREEN IGUANA
The green iguana is Florida’s most invasive species, due largely to the uninformed decision of many people to get one as a pet without realizing how much care they require. Iguanas need lots of food, become hostile during mating season, and can grow up to five feet long (1.5 m).

6. NILE MONITOR
Thanks yet again to pet owners not knowing how to handle their unwanted reptiles, Africa’s largest lizard now also bears the distinction of being Florida’s largest lizard. The Nile monitor was first spotted in Cape Coral in 1990, after most likely being abandoned by an aspiring exotic pet owner who was ill-prepared for the responsibilities associated with caring for the large and intelligent species.

5. AFRICAN CLAWED FROG
In 2016, researchers from the University of Florida discovered a local population of the African clawed frog. While the frog is known to breed in various parts of the world, their presence in Florida was previously unknown. African clawed frogs have been commonly used since the 1930’s as specimens for biological research, and were also popular for determining if a woman was pregnant until the 1970’s, when modern pregnancy tests came long.

4. GIANT AFRICAN LAND SNAIL
After these three animals on today’s list, it should come as no surprise to you that Florida has also been invaded by the world’s largest terrestrial mollusk, or the giant African land snail, which grows to eight inches (20 cm) long and reaches a diameter of up to four inches (10 cm).

3. FERAL HOGS
Wild hogs are a problem throughout all of Florida’s 67 counties and may have first arrived in the state as early as 1539, courtesy of Spanish explorer Hernando De Soto for hunting and food. They can grow between five and six feet long and can weigh upwards of 150 pounds.

2. LIONFISH
Lionfish are beautiful to look at, but they don’t belong in Florida’s waters. These highly-venomous fish are native to Indonesia and are equipped with very poisonous spines. They are impressively adaptable and can survive in a variety of marine environments. Lionfish prey on nearly everything and can consume up to 30 times their stomach volume.

1. RHESUS MACAQUE
For the past 80 years, Florida’s Silver Spring State Park has been home to a population of rhesus macaques, a monkey that is native to south and southeast Asia. National Geographic reports that their population is estimated to double in size and carry a deadly herpes virus.

10. Mystery Heads
Finding disembodied heads underground in an Ancient Egyptian tomb sounds like something from a horror movie. But don’t worry, they’re not real heads. As for what they were doing there, the jury’s still out. The heads are a bit of a mystery to this day. The first examples were discovered in 1894 and since then, over 30 have been located. They were nicknamed ‘reserve heads’ because… well, they looked like a bunch of spare heads!

9. The Giza Void
It’s amazing how even the oldest landmarks can still surprise you. In 2017 experts were very surprised when examining the legendary Great Pyramid of Giza on the West Bank of the Nile. As you may know, but just in case you don’t this ancient wonder of the world was built for Pharaoh Khufu and is the largest one of 3.

8. Kites
Mysterious lines in the Egyptian deserts have been seen from the air for around a century. Everyone was wondering what they were! It turns out, they’re made up of little stone walls, not very high at all, in a kite-style formation. Some of them are as long as 40 miles. Even more mysterious was the fact that they lead toward a pit in the sand.

7. King Tut’s Mummy
One of the great mysteries of Ancient Egypt is the circumstances surrounding the death of Tutankhamun. Howard Carter found his legendary tomb in 1922 and made him a historical superstar. What’s maybe not as well known is that King Tut died very young, while in his teens.

6. Black Boxes
If you thought the Great Pyramid of Giza sounded mysterious, wait till you hear about what was found in Memphis! In a cave network 12 miles away from Giza, 24 big black boxes were found. They weigh 100 tons each and are so unusual that some believe them to be alien artefacts!

5. Lost Labyrinth
In the vicinity of the Middle Egyptian city of Faiyum, 100 km (62 miles) southwest of Cairo, there is an area known as Faiyum Oasis. Supposedly, there lies what’s left of one of the most immense and talked-about structures of Ancient Egypt… the mysterious Lost Labyrinth.

4. That’s a Wrap
Though people don’t know a lot about Ancient Egypt, there are certain things everybody knows about, hopefully. Egypt is famous for its pyramids and also the mummies. Examples have been found of mummies that don’t look the way you’d expect. Take this one in the Louvre museum in Paris. It’s an exhibit in the long-established Department of Egyptian Antiquities, which is made up of an impressive 30 rooms showcasing all manner of finds.

3. The Dendera Light
While we believe the light bulb is a relatively modern invention, some commentators would dispute this. In fact they’d go so far as to say the Ancient Egyptians had access to a power source that gave them things like electric light way before it was officially invented!

2.Exploding Pyramid
So I just mentioned a possible power supply in ancient Egypt. But what if I told you about
another theory on this subject that takes place on a MUCH bigger scale? It all revolves around that classic image we associate with the time… a pyramid.

1. The Building of the Pyramids
I know, we’ve talked a lot about pyramids but this is a video about Ancient Egypt! What did you expect? After many, many years, the question still is, how did the pyramids get built in the first place? The construction of these mighty structures is a matter of ongoing debate between pros and amateurs alike.

10. Bakoni, South Africa
In South Africa, on the hills around Machadodorp to the southeast of the country, are the remains of a series of structures built by the Bakoni people. The hilly countryside is covered with terraces made of stone walls and large complex of ruins.

9. The African City of Stone, Zimbabwe
The Country of Zimbabwe actually took its name, in 1980, from this archaeological site…. The ancient city of Great Zimbabwe. This city of stone was the center of the region between the 10th and 15th centuries and covered an area of around 1779 acres. Now, the structures that remain include a number of stone enclosures, some of which are as tall as 36 feet (11 m).

8. Gedi, Kenya
First found in 1884…. The Gedi ruins, in the Arabuko Sokoke Forest in Kilifi, Kenya, are all that remains of an ancient town- one that continues to be a mystery to archaeologists. There are no written records of Gedi, but the structures and artifacts that have been found there show evidence of a once thriving town that was both advanced and affluent before its demise at some point in the 17th century.

7. The Lalibela Churches, Ethiopia
In the center of Ethiopia, about 400 miles from the capital city Addis Ababa, there’s a mountainous region that was once a site of religious significance. Here, 11 monolithic churches were carved into the rock, thought to have been built by King Lalibela in an attempt to build a ‘New Jerusalem’ in the 12th century after Muslim conquests prevented Christians from being able to travel to their holy city.

6. The Stone Circles of Senegambia
The stone circles of Senegambia are a series of megalithic structures that cover an area 62 miles wide along a 200 mile stretch of the river Gambia. It’s not certain when the monuments were built, with estimates ranging between 2300 and 400 years ago. Along with the stonework, pottery, graves, and pieces of metal have also been found… showing signs of a fairly advanced society.

5. A Lost Tswana City, South Africa
The Difaqane civil wars in the 1820’s led to the collapse of the majority of Tswana city-states, that once stood strong along the northern parts of South Africa. Many of them were never even documented before being abandoned, and are only now being re-discovered.

4. The Ledi Jaw, Ethiopia
As the continent where the human species developed, there are still a lot of questions about our ancestral lineage- some that have been answered recently by the discovery of the Ledi Jaw. There’s a big gap in our knowledge about how our own Homo genus evolved.

3. Meroë, Sudan
Egypt is, of course, well known for its pyramids… but it’s not the only country in Africa where they were built. In the desert to the east of Sudan, along the river Nile, there’s a series of almost 200 ancient pyramids, with most of them serving as tombs for the leaders of the Meroitic Kingdom.

2. Laas Geel, Somalia
Laas Geel, which means ‘source of water for camels’, is a series of rock shelters and caves that lie about 34 miles northeast of the capital city of Somaliland, Hargeisa. The site is now dry, but it's near the confluence of two former rivers, which would explain why it was once known as a water source and a place with extensive evidence of human activity.

1. Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
In northern Tanzania, the Olduvai Gorge is where some of the most important discoveries have been made about our ancient ancestors. Archaeologists and Paleoanthropologists have worked in the area for more than a century, and have found stone tools and bones dating back millions of years. This means that we humans evolved in Africa.

10. Cool Flames
Experiments on the International Space Station often return unexpected results… none more so than during a series of combustion tests that discovered cool burning flames. Taking place in the Multiuser Droplet Combustion Apparatus on board the space station, the tests involved igniting large droplets of heptane fuel.

9. Chix in Space
We've all heard of the Space Race when the US and USSR tried to best one another in their quest to leave the earth’s atmosphere, but did you know that this also took place in terms of the experiments they were conducting… And in the late 80s, both sides attempted to hatch birds in zero gravity.

8. Tissue Chips in Space
Observations of the effects on humans of microgravity have shown that prolonged periods of time in space can speed up the aging process- increasing muscle deterioration, mass reduction, immune deficiency, and weakened cardiopulmonary functions… but good news is the effects are reversed when returning to earth.

7. Flatworm Regeneration
Flatworms may seem uninteresting at first, but they’ve always been important in research because of their regenerative properties. It’s a process that’s not entirely understood, but if you cut one into pieces, it’ll grow a new head and tail and become a new worm in its own right.

6. EXCISS
It's a well-known fact that we are made from stardust- after all, it's the events that happen when a star dies that create all of the elements that we, and the Universe, are made from… but the exact process by which this creation happens is not known- and that's what the EXCISS experiment was designed to find out.

5. Cancer Research
As the second leading cause of in the US- responsible for 589,000 people in the country dying every year, a huge amount of resources are dedicated to finding new treatments and preventative measures for cancer. The ISS lab is one of the tools in the arsenal against the disease, and micro-gravity offers new ways to investigate various aspects.

4. Shooting an Asteroid
In late 2018, Japan’s spacecraft, the Hayabusa2, dropped probes on an asteroid called Ryugu. In late February of 2019, one of them fired kinetic impactor shots into the surface to collect material to bring it back to earth to study. A mission like this, though, needs to be carefully planned… and the designers of the mission carried out practice runs on earth before the spacecraft was even launched.

3. The Cold Atom Laboratory
In 2018, a small suitcase-sized device began work on discovering some of the biggest mysteries in physics- by creating the coldest known spot in the universe. Called the Cold Atom Laboratory, it's used to cool atoms to virtually absolute zero, at just above -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. The Juno Mission
NASA has a number of missions that have been sent to explore the solar system, and Juno is one of the most exciting. It was launched in 2011 as a part of the New Frontiers Program… with the aim to learn more about Jupiter. The probe entered polar orbit in 2016 and has been monitoring the planet ever since.

1. Combustion
The movement of fire can be unpredictable enough on earth, but in space, things get very strange. Here, when a flame is burning, gravity pulls colder, dense air to the base of the flame, which causes the hot air to rise. This continues to feed the fire with fresh oxygen, and the airflow is why a flame flickers in a teardrop shape.
