It Sounds like 'BS', but is actually true



Here are some:
  • There are no bridges over the Amazon River.
  • Surprisingly, it took the person who invented the Rubik’s Cube an entire month to solve it after they created it, and yet the current record in the world is less than five seconds.
  • Sunsets are blue on the red planet, Mars. Sunsets are red on the blue planet, Earth.
  • Technically, when you’re looking up at the sky, you’re actually looking “back in time”. For example, the bright star Vega is relatively close to us at 25 light-years away, so the light we see left the star 25 years ago.
  • The tallest and largest volcano in the solar system is located on the deserted planet of Mars, a neighboring planet to Earth. The shield volcano is named “Olympus Mons”, and is 16 miles (24 kilometers) tall. This means that this volcano is approximately three times taller than Mount Everest.
  • There could actually be around 500 million planets that could support life like Earth can in our galaxy.
