The Moon's Moving Away!
Did you know the Moon is slowly drifting from Earth? Each year, it moves about 3.8 centimeters (1.5 inches) farther into space. This gradual shift affects our planet's tides and the length of our days. In millions of years, this could even make total solar eclipses a thing of the past. Earth's celestial dance with its lunar companion is a cosmic waltz of constant change!
Dolphins Name Themselves with Whistles!
Did you know dolphins have their own "names"? These intelligent marine mammals use unique signature whistles to identify themselves, much like humans use names. These distinct sounds help forge strong group bonds and maintain social networks, especially in the ever-changing ocean environment. So next time you see a dolphin pod, remember, they're all calling each other by name!
