This Wave Happens Once in 10,000 Years; Scientists Have Finally Captured It
On December 7th, 1978, the MS München, a German container transport ship, departed the port of Bremerhaven bound for Savannah, Georgia. This would be its 62nd voyage across the North Atlantic, practically routine to the crew on board. But tragically, it never arrived, nor was it ever seen again. Something claimed this ship, something huge, something deadly, something once believed to occur only once every 10,000 years and horrifically, it's something that's still out there to this day. Now for perspective, the MS München was an enormous 857-foot-long ship that was carrying 83 shipping containers known as lighters, along with 28 members of the experienced crew. At its top speed of 18 knots, the journey from Germany to America, was a little under 5,000 nautical miles and would take them some 11 days at sea. However, a violent storm had been raging over the ocean since November. But the challenging waves and winds were no match for München's exceptional flotation capabilities and so it carried on with its voyage. Suddenly, at 3:00 AM on December 12th, the ship sent out a distress call sent by Morse Code. Only fragments of the call were received by surrounding vessels, but before they could respond, the München went silent. Assuming the worst, rescue efforts began immediately. Occasionally, snippets of automated messages and calls from the ship would be received.

Frenemies of the Sea: When Oceans Refuse to Mix"
As you look at a map of the world, you might think that the oceans seamlessly blend into each other, as if they are just different shades of the same color. But there's a hidden truth beneath the surface. The border between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans is like a curtain of invisible force that separates them like two different worlds. It's as if they've made a pact not to mix their waters, despite being made up of the same H2O molecules. But why?

EXTREME UNIVERSE:
EXTREME UNIVERSE: WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE VISIT THE HOTTEST, PUFFIEST, AND MOST MASSIVE PLACES Scientists have discovered a lot of amazing places beyond Earth's starry night sky. A light year is about 6 trillion miles, which is mind-blowing! One of the first places they looked was a quasar. A quasar isn't a star, it's a distant Galaxy. It gets its power from a supermassive black hole in the center. The disk of matter around the black hole creates friction, and this heat makes you feel cozy. Remember to pack sunscreen and lotion, as the temperature at the heart of the quasar is quite high.
