The Unseen Planet In Our Solar System
For millennia, humans were aware of only five planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, observable with basic telescopes or the naked eye under favorable conditions. In the late 18th century, Sir William Herschel, a renowned astronomer, discovered a new planet—a frosty blue one initially mistaken for a star—later recognized as Uranus. It orbits the Sun 19 times farther than Earth and takes 84 years to complete one revolution. Herschel also detected double stars and nebulae. In the mid-1800s, astronomers detected anomalies in Uranus' orbit, leading to the discovery of Neptune in 1846. Despite theories about another planet between Mercury and the Sun, known as Vulcan, corroborated by the peculiar behavior of Mercury's orbit, no concrete evidence surfaced. Einstein's theory of general relativity later explained Mercury's orbit irregularity, suggesting space-time curvature by massive celestial bodies like planets alters orbits. While the Vulcan theory persisted, Einstein's explanation gained traction, and tests during solar eclipses aimed to validate his theory. Additionally, hypotheses about an undiscovered Planet 9 or Planet X beyond Neptune, affecting objects in the Kuiper Belt, emerged. The Nibiru myth, claiming a doomsday scenario in 2012, proved baseless, as calculations disproved its existence. Moreover, the 2011 Comet Elenin briefly misconstrued as Nibiru, dissipated harmlessly. These astronomical mysteries continue to intrigue, shaping our understanding of the solar system's complexities.

Usual Things in the US That Confuse Non-Americans
One of the first things a foreign visitor notices upon entering the United States is flags. In some respects, the United States is a completely different world from everywhere else, so let's look at what's typical there that confounds visitors. There are American flags everywhere—on houses, schools, even clothing, such as shorts and t-shirts—and they have changed 27 times in American history. The current American flag was not designed by the government, although there was a competition in 1958 to create a new flag design. It was only accepted in 1960 and is currently the nation's longest-lasting flag and the winning flag was created by a 17-year-old Ohio high school student.
