Don’t search for this places on google (I mean it!)
If you are a fan of Dr. Pimple Popper, you are probably very excited right now and itching to squeeze out every little blackhead from those lip contours. However, this is actually a hill formation that can be found in Garb Sudan. Knowing this may make it even creepier because it looks like the crack in the middle is swallowing up everything around it. This black hole scenario reminds us of our next stop, Bosck Island. This eerie spot is a 59-acre coral atoll situated in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, about 400 meters northwest of Tahiti. If you check it out on Google Earth today, it looks like it has been completely blacked out, sparking all sorts of wild theories. People keep saying that this place is some top-secret base or even a fictional island straight out of Lost. However, what we see here is actually just a dense, dark green forest made up of pisonia trees. Since nobody lives there and hardly anyone ever visits, the island is pretty much untouched by humans. This massive star or mandala is situated just outside of Batty, Nevada. It has puzzled the internet with people trying to figure out if it is evidence of some kind of extraterrestrial activity. To add to the mystery, this spot is right by the Tonopa Test Range, which is also known as the famous Area 52. Despite its creepiness, it is probably just one of the thousands of crop circles that gained fame after Google Earth came along. This spiral formation, located in Nevada, also looks like another chilling crop circle. However, things get even stranger if you use the street view option. As you zoom in closer and closer, you will notice that it is made up of carefully arranged rocks. This labyrinth, so to speak, is part of an open-air museum situated in the ghost town of Real de Catorce. And if that is not creepy enough, take a look around and you will see dozens of eerie men in white cloaks. Despite their lifelike appearance, these silhouettes are actually statues from an installation created by a Belgian artist in the 1980s. Even stranger than stumbling upon a large circle on the ground is finding a bunch of them. Our next location in Wyoming is filled with peculiar circle structures to the point where it is hard to count them all. During the 20th century, this US state shifted from a farming economy to an industrial one dominated by the extraction of oil, gas, and coal. So these circles are likely remnants of tank farms, places where oil storage tanks used to be located. If you want to avoid nightmares, I highly recommend not searching for the mausoleum of E.M.L. Becker in Poland. If you happen to find it using the street view mode, prepare yourself to face an abandoned place with the most terrifying sculpture there is. Continuing on the spooky side, let us head to an isolated corner of Kazakhstan where you can find a pentagram etched into the Earth's surface. This formation is huge, measuring roughly 1,200 feet in diameter. Before you jump to conclusions about this formation being related to some kind of underworld deity worship, it is worth noting that the pentagram actually turns out to be the outline of a park designed in the shape of a star. The star shape is marked by roadways, which are now lined with trees, making the star shape even more distinct in aerial photos. You can spot this peculiar symbol from quite a distance. At first glance, it might even resemble an otherworldly alphabet, as if a highly intelligent civilization is trying to send us an alert message. But this mystery is already solved. We are in De Hoge Veluwe, a Dutch National Park located in the province of Gelderland, and these lines are actually part of the park's logo. Search for these coordinates to find what looks like a land formation straight out of an extraterrestrial landscape or perhaps a set from Avatar. This place, located in Inner Mongolia, China, is believed to be a granite mine. But it is a bit of a mystery why it has such a striking blue tone on Google Earth. If you check it out on Microsoft Bing Maps, for example, the same location appears in a much more natural tone. In the Australian Outback lies a massive geoglyph known as the Marree Man. Discovered in the late 1990s, it appears to represent an indigenous Australian man hunting with a boomerang or stick. The figure stretches for more than 2 miles in length and about 1.6 miles wide. It has deep furrows carved into the ground, which adds to the complexity of its formation and origin. Despite efforts to uncover its purpose, its origin is still a mystery. This is Desert Breath, located in the Sahara. Like many things you have seen in this video, this formation also sparks speculation about it being created by extraterrestrial beings. But a quick Google search clears up that mystery. It turns out this is an art installation created by a group of three Greek artists back in 1997. They went all out, moving around a whopping 280,000 feet of sand and even creating a large pool in the middle of it. Egypt still holds many mysteries, and you can explore them yourself with Google Earth. That is how some people stumbled upon this striking triangular-shaped plateau and immediately jumped to the conclusion that they discovered a hidden pyramid. However, experts quickly dashed their hopes. They believe there is no plausible explanation for a pyramid to exist in this area, located 8 miles west of the Nile Valley edge in Upper Egypt. This discovery is likely nothing more than a hill that has suffered the effects of erosion combined with a heavy dose of wishful thinking. In some cases, nature itself is responsible for creating frightening sculptures like the Badlands Guardian in Alberta, Canada. If you look at it from above, you will notice not one, but two human heads emerging from the landscape. These gigantic beings were sculpted by rainwater erosion on layers of clay soil. Ironically, additional human-made structures give the impression that this one is wearing wired headphones. It seems that deserts are prime spots for discovering strange images on Google Earth. So our next stop is China. In the Gobi Desert, you will come across zigzagging white lines that look kind of random. The first challenge for armchair experts was figuring out what these structures were made of, as it is hard to tell if they are painted on or dug into the landscape. There is still a lot of speculation about it on the internet, but the most plausible explanation is that this structure is used for calibrating satellites. This way, satellite cameras can focus on these large grids to orient themselves in space. Check out this intact plane that seems to have sunk beneath the ocean off the coast of Crooked Island, Bahamas. Some viral videos claim it is a crashed plane belonging to the infamous Pablo Escobar. The truth is that something lying on the bottom of the ocean cannot be that visible, so it is more likely that it is a plane that was actually flying when Google captured these images. However, there is a strong belief that Pablo Escobar did have a plane that crashed nearby, but it was in another part of the Bahamas known as Norman's Cay. You can still spot it in shallow turquoise waters. Just search for Norman's Cay sunken plane, and there it is. If you are convinced that extraterrestrials are already among us, then go ahead and type in these coordinates on Google Earth, explore the area using street view, and wow, what is it? Of course, we are not talking about visitors from other planets, but this shadow of a gigantic creature still gives me the creeps. Turns out, it is just a person lugging around one of those 360° street view cameras tucked away in a tracker backpack. So hey, if you take a good look around Google Earth, you might stumble upon more of these elongated-necked beings walking around the globe. That is it for today.

The sun's magnetic poles are set to reverse, a process that occurs more frequently and predictably than on Earth, with the next flip expected between April and August this year.
The sun is preparing to flip its magnetic poles, similar to Earth. This process occurs more frequently and is easier to predict than on Earth. The next flipping is expected to happen between April and August of this year. If you're around 30 years old, you have already experienced this phenomenon multiple times, as the sun flips every 11 years. The flipping process does not have a significant impact on Earth's life. However, this time, there might be some differences. Ocean currents, which play a crucial role in climate and weather, distribute heat from the equator to the poles on Earth. On the sun, these currents are more like an ocean of plasma and also carry electromagnetic energy. This happens because the sun is a massive ball of hot and ionized gases that flow inside its core. These flowing electric currents create magnetic fields. The process through which the sun generates its magnetic field is called a Dynamo. We can observe its effects on the sun's surface through sunspots, which are unstable and intense plasma and magnetism flows. Scientists have learned that the Dynamo process follows a pattern and reorganizes itself every decade. The polar magnetic fields of the sun weaken and eventually reach zero before returning with the opposite polarity. Solar activity has been increasing in recent years, with more solar flares, electromagnetic radiation bursts, and plasma blobs being ejected into space. This solar cycle is particularly lively, and experts believe that the polar fields are almost in sync and steadily weakening. However, the exact point of reversal has not been reached yet. The flipping of the sun's magnetic poles is not as precise as it may seem. The process can be bumpy, and some aspects are still difficult to predict. In the previous solar cycle, the Northern Hemisphere started its magnetic flip in 2012 but lingered around the neutral point until 2014. In contrast, the Southern Hemisphere had a smoother transition in 2013. This time, the poles seem to be transitioning more evenly. However, the reversal processes are never the same, making this phenomenon interesting to observe but challenging to predict its effects on Earth. While we don't need to worry about intense sun explosions happening millions of miles away, a solar storm could disrupt communication satellites in space. The increasing number of satellites, including Elon Musk's Starlink system, raises concerns about the potential impact of a powerful solar storm. Although the chances of a powerful solar storm hitting Earth are low, it is not impossible. In 1859, during the Carrington event, a solar storm caused disruptions in Telegraph communications worldwide. If a similar event were to occur today, it could have severe consequences, affecting communication, navigation, weather forecasting, and power distribution. The impact on satellites and infrastructure could result in significant damages. Fortunately, solar storms as intense as the Carrington event are rare, happening only once every few centuries. However, they offer a spectacular display of auroras, with the Northern and Southern Lights being visible at lower latitudes. The appearance of auroras is one of the expected effects of the sun's magnetic pole reversal. Studying this phenomenon is crucial for scientists to understand how the sun works and improve predictions of solar activity. This knowledge is essential for space travel safety, as more people venture beyond Earth. Understanding the sun's magnetic pole reversal also helps in unraveling the mysteries of other stars in the universe. By studying the sun, we can get closer to answering fundamental questions about our existence. If you enjoyed this information, please like and share this information with your friends.

Why Titanic’s Passengers Smelled Metal That Night
The Royal Mail ship or RMS Titanic easily the most famous steam ship in history was once the symbol of luxury and dreams that promised to come true it took 3 years and 3,000 people to construct it on April 10th 1912 the brand new ocean liner greeted its passengers with the smell of fresh varnish paint and newly saw wood back then they still used lead for the production of paint and linseed oil as a binder so that smell must have been powerful when it was fully operational the giant vessel consumed around 850 tons of coal per day and the passengers would also smell its fumes another odor that must have filled the Titanic's deck at least the first class ones was the new scent by the famous French perfume house geran it was released earlier in the same year and quickly became a hit with the well-off ladies the perfume that you can still buy today is a mix of violets and Iris with creamy vanilla on the dramatic evening of April 14th when Titanic only had hours to live the unknowing waiters were serving oysters lamb and mint sauce roast duck with applesauce and other Delicacies to their first class guests the second class was filled with the smells of curried chicken spring lamb and roast turkey third class passengers had simple GRL and biscuits that night at 11:00 p.m. p.m. as the ship got dangerously close to the iceberg the new smell added to the mix it was a mineral odor with metallic notes if you have ice in your fridge you must have noticed it takes the smell of neighboring Foods the same happens to icebergs they take on the odors of sea animals and maintain the chemical composition of the water that they're made of if more people had known about the meaning of this particular metallic smell they probably still wouldn't have saved the ship but the number of people that managed to escape the safety could have been larger speaking of smells in case you've ever wondered what space smells like but aren't planning to become an astronaut anytime soon listen up you can try out o to space an aroma that was designed by NASA decades ago the idea of the perfume was to help astronauts prepare for their encounters with space at all levels during their training but hold on a second space is a vacuum so it technically shouldn't have any smell yet astronauts who have been out there remembered it as a pleasant metallic odor something like the smell of welding fumes or burnt gunpowder they could smell it on their space suits after coming back into their spacecraft we can also guess what other planets smell like based on what their atmospheres are made of Venus has clouds of sulfuric acid in its atmosphere so it must smell like rotten eggs Mars and Uranus also smell like rotten eggs by the way each of the layers of Jupiter's atmosphere is made up of different chemicals that's why it smells different depending on where you are some layers would greet you with a yummy Aroma of bitter almonds or marzipan and others closer to the top smell like cleaning products the remaining planets of the solar system are unlikely to have a distinctive scent because they're mostly odorless gases in their atmospheres as for our natural satellite the Moon the Apollo Astronauts claim that its dust smells like [Music] Gunpowder the fragrance of fresh cut grass makes regular mowing it nearly worth it but did you know that the grass isn't having a great time while you're doing it in fact it's sort of screaming for help and because grass can't scream out loud it expresses discomfort by releasing a mix of smelly volatile molecules it does it to protect itself from insects caterpillars and other creatures just love to munch on sugary plant snacks when you mow the grass it releases jasmonic acid among other things it's sort of a signal to parasitic wasp that there is a caterpillar available these creatures deal with the grass as offenders and it can keep growing happily ever after from the point of view of the grass mowing is not much different from an insect attack so it protects itself the best way it can the rain has an easy d recognize powerful smell also known as petor but where does it come from turns out some plants secrete oils during drought the rocks and soil accumulate those oils compounds and when the raindrops hit they mix with water and release into the air sometimes these oils combine with chemicals produced by bacteria living in the soil the result of this cooperation is a musky odor you can smell in the woods or in your garden when you turn over the wet soil ozone also adds to the smell of rain especially after thunderstorms it happens when a lightning Bolt's electrical charge splits oxygen and nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere and they later recombine into ozone one Theory says we enjoy the aroma of rain so much because it's imprinted in our brains different cultures have always Associated rain with something positive and we could have inherited that perception now chocolate fans of which I am one this is for you there are flowers that smell exactly like your favorite tree it's a product of a tropical plant after all and since it's impossible to recreate the exact magical scent chocolate has in a perfume you can plant some chocolate flowers also known as the green ey Li relieves in your garden these flowers look like daisies with yellow petals around a deep red Center when you pick its petals the flow releases the delicious smell we all love so much the leaves and branches of the plant also have the same fragrance now in case I got you interested you can find the flower in dry soils of Arizona Texas Colorado and other states with similar climates it blooms all year and the aroma is strongest on warm days the Bearcat also known as the beton does not only look super cute but also smells like buttered popcorn but Turon prefer to stay alone and use their Aroma to mark their territory and find potential Partners when they have to scientists tried to figure out the secret of their unusual smell and suggested it could come from secretions from the scent glands under the animal's tail further research showed that the popcorn smell comes from the Bearcat urine after the Animal answers Nature's call it leaves a scent Trail in the trees with its tail that often gets soaked but if the real popcorn only releases its amazing smell when it's popping under Heat how do Bearcats manage to do it without a microwave well the answer could be in their diet or more likely in the bacteria that come in contact with the animals natural fluid duria is a fruit popular in Southeast Asia that smells sweet and nice to some people but to the majority it's a mix of rotten onions and sweaty socks the stench is so powerful that it's banned on public transportation and hotels in some countries the secret of durian is its 44 odor Active Components the mix is so complex that you can never tell what it's going to smell like and despite that horrible smell durian is considered a delicacy and is used to make mostly sweet dishes like cakes and candy there was a smelly incident involving durian at a library in Australia the smell of rotting fruit in a Cupboard has spread across the entire building through the air conditioning system they Moke it for gas leak Ag and had to evacuate around 500 students and teachers well that stinks and finally if you've ever been to Natural hot springs or went to see some Geyers you'll never forget the smell of hydrogen sulfide or less poetically rotten eggs it's actually not only yucky but also highly flammable but it can also be quite useful most households in isand use geothermal Springs as a source of hot water although it doesn't smell fresh it's perfectly safe to drink and the smell doesn't stay on your body after you take a shower so there that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends or if you want more just click on these videos and stay on the bright side.
