DIVIDING 1 BY 998,001 GIVES YOU A WEIRD RESULT

Math lovers have recently revealed something odd happening with the number 998,001. When divided 1 by 998,001, the resultant decimal number will give you nearly every three digit number. For instance, the decimal starts as follows: 0.000001002003004005006... and so on. Nonetheless, one three digit number gets frisked. Watch the video below to learn which one gets shafted.

Cassini Spotted Something Unexpected In Saturn's Rings Before It Plunged To Its Doom

Image
Scientists using data from the Cassini spacecraft have discovered something unusual about the shadow cast on Saturn by its rings. Cassini was sent  crashing into Saturn  in September as its mission came to an end. However, in its final months, it dipped to between 2,600 and 4,000 kilometers (1,600 and 2,500 miles) above the planet to gather invaluable science. Research conducted by scientists in Sweden and the US, and published in  Science , looked at data from this period. And they found that the shadow of the ring, which Cassini flew through, was having a direct effect on the ionosphere of Saturn – its upper atmosphere. “The ionosphere is surprisingly variable and structured on small scales,” a short  statement  from the team read. “One reason for that is shadows cast by the rings, which block ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, thereby reducing the ionization in those regions.” On these passes, the Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrumen...

HUBBLE JUST REVEALED THE WEIRDEST GALAXY EVER DISCOVERED-- "THE SNAKE GALAXY"

Image
This weird yet amazing Cosmic Snake galaxy is actually behind a massive galaxy cluster called MACS J1206.2-0847, but thanks to the cluster’s gravity, we can see it directly from Earth. Light from the distant galaxy arrives at Earth, having been distorted by the gigantic gravitational influence of the intervening cluster. Fascinatingly, instead of making it more difficult to perceive cosmological objects, such strong lensing effects improve the resolution and depth of an image by magnifying the background object. Sometimes gravitational lensing can even produce multiple images of the object as light is bent in different directions around the foreground cluster.  Using Hubble, Dr. Antonio Cava of the Université de Genève and co-authors looked at several such images of the Cosmic Snake, each with a different level of magnification. “The amplified images are more precise, luminous, and allows us to observe details up to 100 times smaller,” Dr. Cava said.  The Hubble ...

Underwater Archaeologists Discover Roman Harbor In Ancient Greek Port

Image
Underwater archaeologists carrying out excavations in Lechaion, once upon a time the main harbor town of Ancient Corinth, have discovered some impressive examples of Roman engineering underneath the waves. The ancient city of Corinth, located on the Peloponnese peninsula of southern Greece, was once a strategic city of great power, placed as it was with easy access to the Mediterranean trade routes. It was famously destroyed by the Romans in 146 BCE, who laid the city to waste, and wouldn’t be rebuilt until a century later, by Julius Caesar no less. Danish and Greek archaeologists from the University of Copenhagen and Ephorate of Underwater Antiquities have been working on the  Lechaion Harbour Project  since 2013, and a have a five-year permit to explore the area, but this year has been notable for its breakthrough historic finds. “During the 2017 excavations, the first Roman-period harbor structures at Lechaion have come to light,” said project co-director Bjø...
