Magnets And Currents .

I grew crystals in my fridge last night. They are also lavender scented. Here’s how I did it: About 2 cups of lavender scented Epsom salts. A glass jar. 1 cup of hot water (microwaved the water) ½ cup of additional hot water with food coloring of your choice (I used green) A fridge to put the jar of melted Epsom salts in over night.

Directions:

The ½ cup water, get it hot then you are gonna mix food coloring in it and set it aside.

Put your Epsom salts in the glass jar.

Take the full cup of hot water and pour into the jar over the Epsom salts. Stir for two minutes.

Take the colored water you had put aside and add it to the jar. Stir it up and then put the jar in the fridge (24 hrs)

When it is time to take the jar out of the fridge, it won’t look different at first do not get discurged! You have to get rid of the remaining liquid, once you do, the result will be your very own crystals grown by you!

Mars used to be much more Earth-like than we once thought. The Curiosity rover recently discovered high levels of manganese oxide, which can only exist in oxygen-rich environments. This means Mars used to have as much oxygen as Earth and plenty of water on its surface. Source Source 2

How to tell how old an egg is.

Egg shells are porous, so as they age, they absorb more air, making them float! But old doesn’t mean bad–before you throw out those floaters, crack ‘em open; if they smell and look like a normal egg, you’re in the clear.

GOING “GREEN” IN THE ARCTIC

The growth of vegetation in Arctic climatic regions may begin to resemble that of more temperate and tropical regions. Researchers from NASA and Boston University conducted a 30-year study based firmly on satellite information to make this assertion.

This bizarre-looking creature, which lurks off the coast of Chile and Peru, is part of a family of sea-dwelling marine invertebrates known as sea squirts. Despite the fact that they resemble rocks so much that they are nearly indistinguishable when surrounded by them, they contain a mass of organs surrounded by layers of blood, skin, and muscle, and will bleed when sliced or cut in half, just like any other animal. Referred to as ‘Piure’ in Spanish, they are considered a delicacy in South American countries, even though locals describe them as having a flavor that is bitter, soapy, and iodine-like. 

Mysteriously, sea squirts contains nearly ten million times the normal concentration of the rare element vanadium in their blood, and nobody knows why. It is thought to be used as a chemical deterrent against predation, but this is currently an unproven theory.
