At the two poles, however, the magnetospher
I firmly believe that the best things in life are free. It's hard to remain indifferent to Mother Nature's gifts. Whether it's watching the sunrise, enjoying a picnic at sunset, stretching out under a starry sky or listening to the sound of the waves, my heart is always filled with gratitude when I am lucky enough to experience one of these magical moments.

Strolling under a canopy of leaves, inhaling the smell of trees and earth, and watching how forests and meadows flourish with life all teach you one undeniable truth — Mother Nature is a gift that keeps on giving. Basking in the great outdoors acts as a balm in anxious times, as spending just 20 minutes connecting with the greenery can help lower stress levels. But apart from its therapeutic
If you’re tired of measuring everything in geese feet and kidney stones—that’s what the imperial system measures things with, right?—then there’s a new alternative to this, and that is humans. Yep, humans have become a new measuring scale for things, no matter big or small. You just need to make sure one such human is in frame of whatever colossal or minuscule thing that you are t

The saying “lightning never strikes the same place twice” obviously does not cover Venezuela’s Lake Maracaibo and the so-called Catatumbo strikes, which occur only in this part of the world.
