Anthropologists have uncovered something pretty fascinating about Neanderthals—they might not have completely gone extinct like we thought. Instead, it seems they might have been absorbed into the modern human gene pool. A new study shows that Neanderthal DNA could include up to 3.7% of modern human genes. This suggests that humans and Neanderthals interbred more than we previously realized. So, in a way, Neanderthals are still with us today, just mixed into our DNA. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Amazon River might be the largest on land, but there's something even bigger up in the sky—an atmospheric river. These "rivers in the sky" are massive streams of water vapor, carrying more water than the Amazon itself. They move through the atmosphere, often causing heavy rainfall when they hit land. Scientists call them "flying rivers," and they play a huge role in the Earth's water cycle. It's wild to think that the biggest river might actually be floating above us!

Experts explained how a river somehow left behind its own bridge, and the story is wilder than you’d think. Over time, powerful water currents slowly shifted, carving a new path and leaving the old riverbed—and its bridge—high and dry. What was once a vital crossing over rushing water is now stranded over empty land. Scientists say this can happen when erosion, sediment buildup, and natural shifts in the landscape force a river to change course. In some cases, human activity, like construction or deforestation, speeds up the process. So now, this abandoned bridge stands as a strange reminder that even rivers don’t always stick to the plan!

Do planes land on highways? Can a road suddenly turn into a runway? While such intersections of aerial and terrestrial transportation are not common, they happen so frequently that you might be surprised. But after all, a runway and a highway aren’t so wildly different. They look pretty much the same: roads are straight pieces of asphalt, just like you’d find in an airfield. In this video we're gonna take a look at an emergency case scenario, when a pilot needs to land a plane of a highway. What might happen if an aircraft won't have the space it needs to land on a highway? Or the road might break if it is not constructed specifically for aircraft use... #brightside Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Phobos is gradually getting closer to Mars due to tidal forces. In a few tens of millions of years, it's expected that Phobos will get so close to Mars that the planet's gravity will tear it apart, creating a ring of debris. This process is entirely natural and has happened to other moons in our solar system, like Saturn's moon, Phoebe. So, no need to worry about any Martian evil plans – it's just the ongoing celestial dance of our neighboring planet and its moon! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
