The impossible: first ever quadruple planetary star system discovered – by amateur astronomers
Two volunteer amateur astronomers have confirmed the existence of a Neptune-like planet that has four suns, making it the first quadruple planetary star system ever discovered and a real-life version of Tatooine from “Star Wars”. The planet is a gas giant located 5,000 light years from Earth and orbits one pair of the stars which…
Scientists discover new planet orbiting our nearest neighboring star – Alpha Centauri B
Astronomers have discovered a new planet, about the size of Earth, orbiting Alpha Centauri B, a nearby sun-like star roughly 4 light years away. The new planet orbits its parent star about 10 times closer than Mercury so temperatures might be more than 2,240 degrees Fahrenheit. Still, scientists are hopeful that more planets will be…

Researchers propose new theory of how ball lightning is created and why it occurs where it does
Small, grapefruit-sized balls of intensely glowing light, hovering or moving silently through the air, ball lightning lasts from a few seconds to a few minutes. They are extremely rare, less than 5% of the population have seen the phenomenon – occasionally reported, but never photographed. Now researchers from Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization…

How to handle being charged by a 400 pound gorilla
Gorillas are considered to be highly intelligent. People are considered to be highly intelligent too – at least most of them are. In this video, note how the man handles being charged by a 400lb gorilla – by standing his ground and not flinching (his big balls probably keep him anchored pretty well too).
