Amazing Fun Facts You Won't Believe!
Here are some incredible extra facts about this week's topics — none of these appeared in the articles above!
🦙 Peru's Wild Animals
Peru is home to the adorable llama AND the alpaca, two of the fluffiest animals on the planet. Alpaca wool is actually softer than cashmere and naturally hypoallergenic, meaning it won't make you sneeze!
🌍 Afghanistan's Secret Treasure
Afghanistan has some of the largest deposits of lithium in the entire world, a super important metal used inside the batteries of smartphones, electric cars, and laptops. It could be worth over a trillion dollars!
📱 Google's First-Ever Doodle
The very first Google Doodle was created in 1998 by the founders themselves to show they were attending the Burning Man festival! It was just a simple stick figure, a very humble start for one of the world's biggest tech companies.
🌌 Dark Energy is Everywhere
Scientists think that about 68% of the entire universe is made up of dark energy, a mysterious force nobody fully understands yet. The Roman Space Telescope's mission is to finally help solve this cosmic puzzle!
🔥 Lightning Starts Wildfires!
Did you know that a single bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the sun? That's why lightning strikes cause about 10–15% of all wildfires on Earth, and they can strike a tree from miles away!
👟 The Famous Swoosh Cost $35!
Nike's iconic swoosh logo was designed in 1971 by a student named Carolyn Davidson and she was paid just $35 for it! The founder of Nike wasn't even that impressed at first. Today the logo is worth billions!
🦜 Oldest Cave Art Ever
The world's oldest known cave painting, a red pig drawing, was discovered in Indonesia and is about 45,500 years old! Ancient humans were making art even before they built permanent homes or villages.
🦠 How Ebola Got Its Name
Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo and scientists simply named the virus after the river! It's become a tradition: many viruses are named after the place where they were first found.
🏅 Judo Was Invented in 1882
Judo, the sport Asmita Dey won gold in, was invented in Japan in 1882 by a man named Jigoro Kano. The word "judo" means "gentle way" in Japanese, even though it involves a lot of very powerful throwing moves!
