It is an elusive creature with incredibly long tentacles reaching 8 meters.
Magnapinna was first discovered back in 1907, but since then only about 20 sightings of this deep-sea dweller have been recorded.

Jeanne Calment, a French ultra-long-lived woman, lived for 122 years and is known for her unusual lifestyle. She smoked for 95 years, starting at age 21 and quitting only at 117, when she lost almost all of her sight and could not light cigarettes on her own.
At the age of 90, Kalman struck a deal with lawyer François Raffret, whereby he would pay her a monthly allowance in exchange for the right to her apartment upon her death. Despite his expectations, however, Kalman outlived the lawyer, and his widow continued the payments. Eventually, the amount of the payments exceeded twice the value of the apartment.

From September 29 to November 25, 2024, Earth will temporarily get a second moon.
The asteroid, which is moving towards our planet, will revolve around it during this time.
Such a phenomenon, when an asteroid becomes a temporary satellite of the Earth, occurs quite rarely and provides an opportunity to study its characteristics and behavior near our planet.

Mozart surprises again: An unknown serenade has resurfaced after 250 years
A hitherto unknown serenade by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart himself has been performed in Leipzig. The work with the intriguing title “Serenate ex C” for string trio was discovered by archivists in the music library of Leipzig. It was hiding modestly among the works of German violinist Carl Ferdinand Becker, as if waiting for its time.
Experts believe that the young Mozart wrote this serenade in the late 1760s, when he was still a teenager. And, most movingly, he may have composed it for his sister. Imagine: a brilliant boy writes music for his favorite little sister, and this music becomes a sensation 250 years later!

For the first time, scientists have filmed an octopus hunting with fish. And slapping those who don't obey him.
It used to be thought that octopuses hunted alone, but it turns out that some, roughly speaking, train fish to hunt together. Literally, as humans once did with dogs.

One brave girl decided to demonstrate what our parents always told us: “Don't drink on an empty stomach!”. And, it must be said, the results are impressive.
The experiment was simple, but revealing. On the first day, our heroine drank alcohol after a meal, and on the second day - on an empty stomach. All this time she used a breathalyzer to monitor the level of alcohol in the blood.
The results speak for themselves:
- After a meal: full sobering up in 4 hours.
- On an empty stomach, it took 8 hours to return to normal.
A difference of two times!

Scientists have made a fabric that protects against mosquito bites. At the same time, it does not differ in comfort from ordinary clothes.
The secret is simple - scientists changed the texture of the loops that make up the fabric, and the insects simply could not bite. Such clothes were tested on 40 mosquitoes of different species, and no one got through.

Scientists have found that up to 78% of bottled water contains microplastics, which may be linked to the development of cancer, heart disease and dementia, as well as reduced sperm quality. Tap water, on the other hand, does not carry the risk of “leaching harmful chemicals” and meets quality standards. Therefore, the researchers believe that it is much safer to drink tap water.

Archaeologists from Yamagata University in Japan, together with colleagues from Paris and IBM researchers, made an amazing discovery on the Nazca Plateau in Peru - they discovered 303 new geoglyphs using artificial intelligence.
This discovery nearly doubled the number of known drawings in the region, previously totaling 430 geoglyphs. Using drones and computer vision algorithms, the team was able to analyze images of the desert surface and identify faint patterns that were not visible to the naked eye. The new geoglyphs tend to be smaller and depict people and domestic animals, as well as abstract shapes.
