Bright Side ·

2025/08/10

The International Date Line (IDL) is one of the weirdest things on the map—it’s not a straight line at all! It zigzags to avoid splitting countries, islands, and even some communities into different days, which would be super confusing. Imagine one side of your house being a day ahead of the other! It mostly follows the 180° longitude line but takes big detours around places like Kiribati and Samoa so they can stay on the same date as their neighbors. This bending of the line makes it look strange,

2025/08/10

Some optical illusions can make celebrities look like they’ve swapped genders, and it’s all about the way we see faces. Richard Russell, a researcher, studied how the contrast in facial features plays a big role in making a face look masculine or feminine. For example, women’s faces naturally have darker eyes and lips compared to their skin, giving them higher contrast, while men’s faces have less contrast. It’s like a magic trick for your brain because it relies on how we’re wired to interpret

Scientists are working on some amazing projects to bring extinct animals back to life by 2028!
