You’re relaxing in your room and streaming some good tunes when suddenly, the network’s down. You try rebooting your phone, but there’s still no connection. Out of nowhere, your sister barges into your room in panic. She’s screaming something about rings. Boxing rings? Wedding rings? Rings on the tub? She’s not making any sense. So she drags you out of the house and shows you the sky. You take a look-up and see streaks of objects forming miles above the Earth’s surface. Her connection seems to work. The two of you check online what’s going on, and everywhere the same thing is making headlines: Rings are suddenly appearing in our sky! #Earthrings is breaking the hashtag record and videos are going super viral. Your sister can’t help but join the crowd and takes a bunch of selfies with the sky.
Dark, ever-hungry monsters live all across the Universe. They’re born when massive stars blast into space. Black holes as heavy as Earth are just as large as a ping pong ball. They don’t have a surface, but their gravity is so strong even light can’t escape it. Black holes don’t have physical boundaries like a membrane either. The event horizon, which is closest to a typical boundary, is a threshold which, after passing, you can’t get out. For a star, running into a black hole normally ends in a spectacular light show and its destruction. Just one star that astronomers know of managed to survive an encounter with a black hole as heavy as 400,000 Suns. It happened in a galaxy about 250 million light years away from Earth. Astronomers with really powerful equipment noticed bursts of X-rays that raged in space every nine hours. They thought they must be mayday signals from a star trapped by a cosmic abyss.

Whoa... what’s going on? It’s dark and smelly. You’re wearing nothing but pants and a shirt. You’re lying on a cold concrete floor. How did you get here?! Suddenly, the lights switch on, and you see a steel door in front of you and a screen. It turns on and a man in a mask tells you that you have 1 hour to escape 6 rooms to win your cash prize. You get up and go up to the door to open it, but it’s locked. Out of nowhere, spikes pop out of the walls and start closing in on you. You only have 1 minute to get out before they crush you.
Some people even see colors as letters and numbers or hear them. Those who live closer to the Arctic Circle can name different shades of snow because that’s what they see all the time. To others, it’s just white. Some languages only have general names for colors. For example, “dark” stands for cool hues, like black, blue, and green. Colors like white, red, orange, and yellow are all called “warm.” Your eye processes more variations of warmer colors than cooler ones.
So, you’re at a restaurant having lunch when suddenly you hear people screaming. You look out the window and see everyone running away from something. You keep eating your meal. But ripples start forming in your soup, and they get wider and wider. Car alarms are ringing, and glass is shattering. The ground is rumbling. The TV loses signal. Wait — no TV? You drop your spoon and get outside. You see some large dark figures crawling around and heading towards you. Your heart is pounding. Your legs are shaking. Yet, you’re standing still and don’t try to run away like the others.
Looking for something slimy? Well, many people tend to believe that snails are just slugs with shells, but even though they look so similar, they’re completely different species. Slugs don’t need any protective shells as all their internal organs are, well, internal — inside their slimy bodies. They can squish themselves and get into hard to reach places, which is why slugs can often be found in the most unlikely spaces, like under tree bark or inside tiny crevices, or at the library pretending to study for exams. Snails, on the other hand, are tightly connected with their shells and can’t survive without one. Unlike hermit crabs, which replace their shells as they grow, snails are born with a shell on their back. Baby snails look adorable with those fragile translucent bubbles that calcify and become bigger and tougher with age. Cute.
Over the years, the Addams Family franchise has been remade into various forms, including television shows, movies, and animated films. Throughout these transformations, many actors have played iconic roles as Addams family members, and we’re here to rank them based on their performances over the years.
It’s dark, and you can’t see anything. There’s slime all over. The ground is soft and moving. You try to find your way around by feeling the moving walls around you. After a while, you hear some painful screams in the distance. You call out for help, but no one responds. You’re a captain of a ship, and you were just consumed by the mighty Kraken. You keep tumbling over, not knowing if you’re even going in the right direction. The screams get louder and louder. It’s only a matter of time before you see someone. As you make your next step, a large piece of wood swooshes past you, almost knocking you down. That piece of wood was from the ship that the Kraken had swallowed. It had also swallowed the entire crew alive, so they must be somewhere inside the beast’s belly.
Before you leave your bedroom in the morning, make sure you close all the windows and shades to keep the room as dark as possible. It prevents any sun or hot air from getting in and increasing the temperature of the room. Once the sun has set, try opening two windows that are on opposite sides of the room. This will create cross-ventilation. Air will come in through one window and exit out the other to create a nice cooling breeze.
Ok, it’s getting dark, and you’ve got that gut feeling as if someone’s after you. The first thing you might want to do is to start walking slightly faster. This trick can help you either get rid of the suspicious person behind you or... confirm your worst fear.Now it’s official: there’s somebody dogging you. Your heart rate is insane, the heart pumps your blood as never before. Try to make turns. Three or four right turns are enough to bring you back to your starting position. This trick will do two things: first, you’ll have a chance to disappear (especially if you know the neighborhood well). Second, you’ll once again confirm this person is after you.
Hotel star ratings aren’t always reliable as the rating systems vary between countries. In Italy, for example, a hotel can be given 5 stars just for having a 24-hour reception desk, receptionists that speak 3 languages. Instead of using stars, look at ratings or reviews instead. Booking late can also get you the best deals. If your stay is not urgent, try booking a room on the day of the stay. If the hotel isn’t full, you’ll likely get a discount. Hotel managers reduce room rates last minute to fill them.

You’re dozing off in your window seat on a plane — it’s getting dark since it’s almost 11 PM. Suddenly, something wakes you up. You glance out of the window and see a really strange phenomenon. Something that creeps you out... There are bright red huge flashes illuminating the sky at a distance. They resemble some nightmarish jellyfish. Those are sprites — also called red sprites due to their color. They’re also known as cloud-to-space lightning. These varied visual shapes flickering in the night sky are large-scale electric discharges (which is a clever word for a lightning strike).
Nowadays riding a taxi is not a luxury but an affordable means of transport. You can now even summon one with the help of a special app. Dozens of people get into cars to get from point A to point B, entrusting their destiny to drivers.

Recently lobster diver, Michael Packàrd, was doing a routine dive, one he’s done many times before. When suddenly things went dark and he felt an immense pressure on his legs. He didn’t know at the time what was happening to him but onlookers saw the whale swim off. Michael was inside a humpback whale’s mouth. The diver took to Reddit to do an honest and candid AMA about his encounter. His son, Jacob, was answering on his behalf. Michael is fine and his experience is so unique that we at Bright Side are fascinated by it.

Your pet’s poop is directly related to its health. Just by looking at it, it’s possible to understand how your pet is reacting to food and, most importantly, if it’s having some kind of issue. As various diseases can be prevented and identified just by examining the poop, we from Bright Side love our pets and would like to share this information with you to help you better understand yours.

While we usually use no more than 30 different spices in the kitchen, there are more than 100 types of them in the world. And many of them are not just herbs — for example, sesame grows in pods, saffron is the stamen of a flower, and black pepper can be found on a liana!
The world’s population is becoming increasingly urban and 68% of people are expected to live in cities by 2050, according to the UN. No wonder it’s getting more and more important for urban design to be innovative and convenient. The environment that surrounds us in the streets every day has the ability to influence our mood, our behavior, and even our way of thinking.
Sometimes it seems that you’ve seen so much in this life that nothing will be able to surprise you ever again. And then you accidentally overheard someone mention something amazing, like the fact that hippopotamus milk is actually pink. That’s right.
