Our world is full of unexplainable things. We try our best to explain life and our surroundings by use of modern science, or when we don't know, we can use the "act of god" clause. This location dubbed "the center of the universe" falls into that unexplainable category.
At first glance, it appears like it's nothing special. Just an ordinary circle. However, stand in the middle of it and make a sound and it will appear as though the sound is reflected back at you amplified and from all directions.
The circle of concrete surrounded by bricks seems to act as a mysterious cone of silence because strongly enough no one outside of it can here the sounds made inside. Just the person in the middle hearing their voice reflected loudly back at them.
Legend has it that a foghorn could go off in the circle and not a soul outside of it could do here it. This truly is one of the world's greatest mysteriesNobody knows why this happens. It’s a really strange phenomenon!
This artist’s impression shows the red supergiant star Antares. Image credit: M. Kornmesser / ESO. An international team of astronomers from Chile and Germany has managed to capture an image of unprecedented detail of another star — that isn’t the Sun — the red supergiant star Antares. The team has also made the first map of the velocities of material in the atmosphere of a star other than the Sun, revealing unexpected turbulence in the extended atmosphere of Antares. Antares, also designated Alpha Scorpii, is a well-studied, close red supergiant star at a distance of 554 light years. It is the fifteenth-brightest star in the night sky and the brightest star in the constellation of Scorpius. With a diameter about 700 times that of the Sun and a mass about 12 times solar, Antares is one of largest stars. This is the most detailed image ever of the red supergiant star Antares, or any other star apart from the Sun. Image credit: K. Ohnaka / ESO. It is thought that Ant...
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...
