On May 7, a Metallica concert was held in Lane Stadium at Virginia Tech University, attracting about 60,000 people. During the performance of the hit song “Enter Sandman,” fans began jumping in sync, resulting in recorded seismic activity. A seismograph located about 1.6 kilometers from the stadium recorded the vibrations caused by the crowd's movement.

Although the strength of the tremors was too small to be registered on the Richter scale, the event was dubbed “Metallica Quake”.

🧠 Super Mario against brain aging - and wins!

Scientists conducted an experiment: some people played Super Mario 64, others learned to play the piano, and others did nothing. And guess who became the champion of neuropropulsion? That's right, gamers. Their memory, coordination, and spatial orientation improved. Pianists also improved their attention span. Slackers, on the other hand, even lost gray matter.

🎮 So Mario is better than vitamins.

Everything that is bright red in food is probably a gift from the cochineal worm! This miniature beetle, which lives on cacti, is the main source of the natural food coloring E120, or carmine.

Carmine is obtained from dried cochineal females: they are harvested by hand, dried and the pigment extracted. Thousands of insects are needed for one kilogram of dye. That is why the E120 is more expensive than most synthetic analogues.

Carmine is used in sausages, yoghurts, ketchups, juices, sweets, ice cream and even alcoholic beverages. If the product is "deliciously red", there is a high probability that there is a bit of a bug in it.

Carmine is considered safe, but it can cause allergies in sensitive people. But for vegans and Muslims, this dye is prohibited.

The next time you reach for a bright sausage or strawberry yogurt, remember: the rich color may be due to tiny cactus farmers! 🐞

The sushi scene in the animated film Isle of Dogs took a month of continuous frame-by-frame animation: animators Andy Biddle and Tony Farquhar-Smith spent 32 days manually filming every movement to achieve perfect fluidity and realism.

Before filming, the team spent weeks studying Japanese cuisine and the techniques of sushi chefs, and used silicone and miniature tools to simulate the cutting of fish.

The scene became one of the most elaborate and recognizable scenes in a Wes Anderson film. 🍣

🍊Japanese breeders have created a unique citrus hybrid - Ehime 38. This mutant fruit combines the best qualities of orange and tangerine: juiciness of the former and easy peeling of the latter. It is grown mainly in Ehime Prefecture (hence the name).

Interestingly, if you cross this hybrid with a lemon, you get a fruit that no one can eat without a grimace of pain.

In Chongqing, 5,000 drones staged a new night performance: 3D figures, symbols of the city, flowering camellias and even animated plots with trains and noodles ‘danced’ in the sky. Now such shows are a regular feature of the metropolis, 90 times a year.

Scorpion farms are one of the most profitable start-ups today. A liter of venom is worth up to $10 million, as pharmaceutical companies and the cosmetics industry use it for analgesics, anti-tumor and anti-aging products.

One scorpion yields only 2 microliters of venom per day, but automation makes the harvesting process safe and stable. It is not difficult to maintain the farm - scorpions eat little and are unpretentious.

Such farms are being actively developed in Egypt, Iran and India.

The Victory Day Parade in Astana turned into a fantasy scene: a girl decided to remove military equipment from a window on the 20th floor, but a drone immediately flew up to her.

The drone hovered right next to the glass and politely asked through the speaker to close the window and move away - all for the sake of safety during a large-scale parade.

Now you can't even watch the parade from the balcony in peace! 🚁

Amazon has posted a rare video of the launch of Project Kuiper satellites: 27 satellites were launched into orbit at an altitude of about 450 kilometres using an Atlas V rocket.

The video shows the satellites being released three at a time from a special distribution system.

Project Kuiper is a global network for satellite internet, a competitor to Starlink. More than 3,200 satellites are planned in total, with the service launching at the end of 2025.

A Soviet satellite weighing half a ton could fall to Earth as early as this week!

The Cosmos-482 space station has been drifting in orbit for 53 years and is now rapidly descending. According to experts' calculations, the apparatus weighing about 500 kilograms will enter the atmosphere in the next few days - the exact date and place of the fall is impossible to predict.

The satellite capsule is designed for extreme conditions - part of the structure can survive the re-entry into the atmosphere and reach the surface almost intact. The potential fall zone is between 52° north and 52° south latitude.

Experts note: the risk to people is minimal, but it cannot be completely ruled out. If the fall happens in the daytime, it will look like a bright, slow meteor flying apart.

The one-of-a-kind Big Surf artificial wave pool in Tempe is a true mecca for surfers in the middle of the Arizona desert! Opened in 1969, it is considered the first wave pool in the United States and a pioneer of artificial wave technology.

The pool generates waves up to 3 feet high, allowing beginners to practice surfing in a safe environment. Experienced surfers may find it a bit boring, but for those who live away from the ocean, it's a great alternative.

The best time to visit is from May through September, when the heat in Arizona is at its peak. You'll have to pay about $30 to visit, which is pretty affordable for an attraction of this magnitude.

Chinese dam “Three Gorges” slowed down the rotation of the Earth - a giant reservoir with a volume of 40 cubic kilometers shifted the mass of the planet, due to which the day lengthened by 0.06 microseconds. NASA notes: the effect is microscopic, but measurable, and the Earth's axis has shifted by about 2 centimeters. Now that's how engineering changes the physics of the planet! 🌏

Seiko showed a prototype of Sundial - “Watch Exclusively for Sunny Men”, designed by Yu Ishihara for the Incredibly Specialized Watch Exhibition. It is not just an accessory, but a miniature equatorial solar observatory: the case opens, a gnomon (a pin for shade) is hidden inside, there is a bubble level and degree locks for different latitudes.

The watch shows the time only when the sun is shining, and the accuracy is up to -0.58 seconds per year. The model is a one-of-a-kind piece and is not for sale yet, but such unique watches usually cost around $27,000.

NASA for the first time from orbit filmed the rover Curiosity directly in motion: HiRISE camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter captured on 28 February 2025, as the rover leisurely rolls along the crater Gale, leaving behind a 320-metre trail. The speed is 0.16 kilometres per hour, but for science history, that's quite a sprint! 🚀
