A fog bow, as the name implies, is a rainbow that appears in fog rather than during rainfall. They are slightly fainter and more difficult to see than rainbows, but you are more likely to see the entire circle of the optical effect. Because fog is made up of smaller water droplets than raindrops, the full spectrum of colours in a fog bow is difficult to distinguish and appears as a bow of faint red and blue.

Conspiracy theorists is a word that is frequently used in a pejorative manner. Some say this was done on purpose, that the CIA coined the word to discredit those who believed in the countless theories that circulated after JFK's killing. It seems convincing, but we have print proof indicating the term has been used since at least 1870 and became more common in the 1950s.

With a helium content of 24% The remaining 2% consists of trace amounts of iron, nickel, oxygen, and all of the other elements found in the Solar System. To put it another way, the Solar System is mostly made of hydrogen.

You may have assumed it would be as simple as lighting your candle, but it's actually a little more difficult than that! Did you know that a candle's first burn is the most crucial? 
You must allow your candle to burn sufficiently long the first time you light it! Depending on the size of your candle, it may take several hours for the entire top layer of wax to become liquid. Your candle will not burn evenly if you don't do this.

Despite many years of mining, Wales remains an enormous supplier of natural minerals, providing coal, slate, copper, steel, and other materials to many countries. South Wales used to account for 40% of all coal exported from the United Kingdom.

Pune, which is located at the confluence of the Muthi and Mula rivers, derives its name from the Punya word, which literally means "conflux of two rivers." It was referred to as Punaka Desha in certain old sources before becoming Punekavadi, Punevadi, and Kasaba Pune. The nearby Lord Shiva temple Punyeshwar is where the city earned its name, claims historian Mandar Lavate. Up until 1978, Pune's official name was Poona.

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, and plants, most likely mosses and liverworts with shallow roots, may have colonized land as recently as 470 million years ago. Vascular plants appeared around 420 million years ago, but no plants grew higher than 3 feet (1 metre) off the ground for tens of millions of years after that.

As they develop, centipedes moult. Every time they moult, they grow another set of legs naturally, so the older they get, the more legs they have. The fact that they can actually grow new legs after being amputated by predators is truly bizarre. Centipedes have the ability to detach some of their legs in order to escape from a predator's grasp. Then, when they moult, they simply regenerate their lost legs!

While most parents do everything they can to keep their children from crying, this isn't always the case in Japan. That's because it's a 400-year-old Japanese belief that if a sumo wrestler can make your baby cry, he or she will live a long and healthy life. Parents hand over their infants to sumo wrestlers during a special ceremony, who bounce their precious tots up and down and sometimes even roar in their faces to get the tears flowing. "He's not a crying baby," Mae Shige said at a 2014 event, "but today he cried a lot for us and we are very happy about it."

While it doesn't happen to everyone who starts crocheting, for most people who continue to do so, the hobby develops into a huge passion. There is a cause for the proliferation of "hooked on crochet" jokes and goods. In contrast to many other hobbies, this one is prone to a certain level of obsession, which is quite common. With any other activity I find enjoyable, I had never before encountered this obsession. Number one on this list, in my opinion, is the widespread crocheting compulsion.

Maa Kamakhya of Guwahati is one of the oldest temples in India. There are 51 shakti peethas in different parts of India as well as in Pakistan, Nepal & Sri Lanka. The Kamakhya Shakti Peeth is considered the most powerful shakti peeth, as yoni (vagina) of Goddess Sati had fallen on the Neelanchal parvat i.e. the Nilgiri hills, following the splitting of the Goddess's dead body. Since everyone comes to this world through ‘yoni’ that is why this place is considered the center point of creating the whole Brahmand.
