GORILLA TREKKING
Around the world only 800 mountain gorilla still exist today. Although our closest living relatives, ironically, it is man that poses the greatest threat to their survival. For years gorillas have been ruthlessly hunted for their hands and heads, which are sold on as macabre souvenir ashtrays and lamp shades. Additionally, large numbers have been killed whilst trying to stop poachers stealing babies which are illegally sold on to zoos, where their survival rate is low.

Are Cell Phones Capable of Changing the Shape of Our Bones?
What if cell phones were so powerful that they could change the shape of our bones? This is a startling new topic that has recently been making the rounds in the media. It stems from a scientific report that claims using phones and tablets can cause serious and long-term changes to our bodies, and not in the way you might think. David Shahar and Mark Sayers, who specialize in biomechanics at Australia's University of the Sunshine Coast, conducted a study in recent years. Biomechanics examines how mechanical principles apply to live organisms, from how humans run to how insects beat their wings.

The Giant Black Hole in Our Galaxy Turned Out to Be Active
We'll explore some of the most bizarre places in our universe. Astronomers discovered that the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy may be leaking, suggesting it may still be active. Researchers used the Hubble Space Telescope to spot a jet pushing into clouds of hydrogen at the center of our galaxy. When a gas cloud gets too close to the black hole, it gets swallowed and then belches small jets of matter. Fermi bubbles might be the result of these belches. There's a rotating neutron star called the black widow pulsar that's consuming its partner. Nuclear pasta is the strongest material in the universe. It can break, but only if you apply 10 billion times the pressure needed to shatter steel. There's a planet where it rains glass, and solar tsunamis tear across the sun's surface. Electric Hyperion, Saturn's moon, is charged with static electricity. There's a rogue planet with auroras drifting through galaxies.

The Ocean
The blue and green of the ocean was the color of Sapphires mixed with Emeralds. It looked as if beautiful jewels were sparkling in the water. The colors were so intoxicating that I dreamed of being a mermaid and living in the depths, swimming and living in the under water realm. I felt the wind whispering to me and the ocean seemed to be calling to me, come to me, come to me, you are mine.
