Mars has such thin air that around noon near the equator, sunlit ground beneath your boots could reach 24 degrees Celsius while the air around your head remained below freezing — allowing one standing person to span temperatures resembling spring and winter at the same time. In a wolf pack, older brothers and sisters often help with the babysitting. While some adults are away hunting, wolves from previous litters guard the new pups and carry food back for them — an all-hands approach to raising the young that can improve a pup’s chances of surviving Ganymede is a moon, yet it is larger than the planet Mercury, may contain more water than exists on Earth’s surface, and even generates its own magnetic field, making it less like a conventional moon than a full-sized world that happens to orbit Jupiter. More than two million lakes sit inside a single country, gouged out by Ice Age glaciers that spent tens of thousands of years grinding it into a landscape of water Enceladus hides a salty ocean beneath its ice but also blasts that ocean directly into space, which means a spacecraft can test water from a potentially habitable sea simply by flying through the plume — no landing, drilling, or journey through kilometres of frozen crust required. In the mid-nineteenth century, the Dutch were among the shortest people in Europe. Today they remain among the tallest on the planet, with young men standing about 1.83 metres on average. Rising prosperity, better nutrition and improved healthcare added nearly 20 centimetres in roughly 150 years That salmon on your sushi plate feels like an ancient Japanese tradition, but it isn’t — until the 1990s the Japanese didn’t eat raw salmon at all, and the reason they do now traces back to a Norwegian marketing campaign When scientists first uncovered the ancient mummies of western China, their European-looking faces and fair hair suggested they were travelers who had wandered east from Europe — but their DNA told a stranger story: they were a local people who had lived there, isolated, for thousands of years Sony’s wearable air conditioner doesn’t lower the temperature around you at all — it chills one small patch of skin at the base of your neck, where the body’s heat sensors are so concentrated that cooling that single spot fools the entire body into feeling cool Houston spent nearly 3 billion dollars widening a single freeway to 26 lanes to kill its traffic — and within three years the drive was taking up to 51 per cent longer, proof of a rule planners keep relearning the hard way: you can’t build your way out of a traffic jam
