    A Potentially Habitable Super Earth Has Been Discovered

    The universe is too big for us to be the only ones in it. It's just a matter of knowing where to look, and scientists from NASA's TESS program might have stumbled across the next clue in this galactic scavenger hunt. The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite was launched in April of 2019 with the aim of locating planets in orbit around nearby stars. One of these stars is the comparatively small GEE-JAY 357. It's about 31 light-years from Earth. It's one of the closest to Earth! Thanks to TESS, NASA astronomers discovered a planet orbiting this distant star. And in fact, it’s one of the few whose atmosphere can be studied by scientists, once they determine if it has one!

Scientists have discovered planets beyond our solar system before, but GEE-JAY 357-b is one of the closest to Earth. Hidden beyond the semi-molten glow of this “hot Earth,” as astronomers called it, were two more planets. One of them, GEE-JAY 357-d is just far enough from the star to potentially support life. Its orbiting inside its solar system's habitable zone, warm enough to support life, but not so warm that it ends up charbroiled. NASA scientists estimate that that planet has an average temperature of about minus sixty-four degrees. That’s cold, comparable to the interior of Antarctica. I wouldn’t expect any alien visitors for most of the same reasons humans will probably never be visiting GEE-JAY 357-d for themselves. If intelligent life developed, there’s no reason to believe it wouldn’t sooner or later turn its sensory organs to the stars. That's when the planet's gravity becomes an obstacle. I Scientists have estimated that reaching the moon of a planet ten times the size of Earth, would require almost five hundred thousand tons of fuel to get off the ground. It is worth noting that Astronomers haven't yet been able to see any of these planets directly. The TESS only discovered the massive and hot planet b because of its silhouette passing in front of the star. Since c and d never passed between Earth and GEE-JAY 357 during the month when TESS was able to capture images of the star, we've only been able to study them indirectly. The middle planet, called GEE-JAY 357-c just to make things confusing, didn’t even give us that. Because of its unusually tilted orbit, this planet never passes between Earth and its star at all.

    10+ Reasons Your Phone Battery Dies So Fast

    Why does your phone battery die so fast? These days, owning a smartphone means constantly searching for a socket thanks to the battery running out so quickly. Sometimes it’s not even enough for one day. You might blame the manufacturer, but the sad truth is that the main problem here is operator error. Did you know, for example, that charging your phone fully is actually bad for your battery? Or that every notification you get sucks the life out of it? So, Bright Side found out the reasons why your phone’s battery decreases so quickly. Check if it is you who "influences" the battery level.

    What a Tiny Triangle Above Your Plane Seat Means

    Many of us think flying is a great way to travel, but things can get dull if you wind up stuck on the tarmac waiting for takeoff. While you're sitting there wondering if it would’ve taken any longer just to drive, you might notice a little triangular sticker above your window. Only four windows on each plane are marked this way. Usually red or black, the decals are just large enough to spot if you're looking for them but easy enough to miss if you aren't. But why are they there? Is it part of a conspiracy? Well, it turns out the answer isn’t quite so dramatic but interesting nonetheless. Especially if you're a plane lover! Other videos you might like: Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific Ocean    • Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific...   A Plane Lost Its Roof at 24,000 Feet But Managed to Land    • A Plane Lost Its Roof at 24,000 Feet ...   Why No One Can Bring Liquids on a Plane    • Why No One Can Bring Liquids on a Plane   TIMESTAMPS: So what are those stickers ❓ 0:46 Hidden sleeping compartments 1:39 Loops on the wings ✈️ 3:35 Holes in the windows 5:07 The hidden handrail 6:33 A button to adjust your armrest ✋🏻 7:34 #plane #aviation #brightside SUMMARY: If you look closely the next time you're on a plane, you'll realize that the triangles line up with the front and back edges of the aircraft's wings. The sticker is there so that the flight attendants know at a glance which windows to look through. Many airliners feature a hidden compartment where its exhausted crew can catch up on some much-needed sleep. The exact placement of the room varies, but the crew’s quarters are usually found in a small windowless compartment directly above first class. Larger planes can feature up to ten bunks, as well as a separate pilot’s quarters directly above the cockpit. If you’re flying in a jet made by Airbus, you might’ve noticed a pair of little yellow loops sticking up from the otherwise smooth, white surface of the plane's wing. A plane's wings need to be smooth so that they remain aerodynamic, but that makes them pretty difficult to stand on. Thanks to this fabulous technological breakthrough, evacuating passengers need not worry about an unfortunate tumble down the aircraft’s wings. Airliners need to maintain internal pressure for the passengers to be able to breathe comfortably at high altitudes. This tiny opening is known as a breather hole and plays a vital role in keeping you flying. Most airliners flying today feature a handrail running the length of the overhead compartments. Their primary function is so that the crew can safely move about the cabin during turbulence. The most common complaint people have with air travel is the lack of space. Even if you aren't particularly tall, you've probably experienced this for yourself. If you're in the middle seat, well, you're just going to have to deal with getting the worst of both worlds. Feel around on the bottom of the armrest, and you’ll find a little button near the hinge. Press it, and you're free to move that pesky armrest out of your way. This gives you plenty of room to move around, and is a big help when you’re trying to get your bag from the overhead compartment at the end of your flight.

    The Truth About Airplane Mode and 20 Myths About Your Phone

    Once upon a time, in a little town, there lived a boy who dried his mobile phone with a hairdryer and never put it in airplane mode before take-off. People told him to stop, but he wouldn’t listen. So the passengers duck-taped him to the wing outside, and he had a very windy flight and lousy reception. Okay, maybe not the duck tape thing. But let’s check out some common beliefs about smartphones, and see if they’re appropriate or bogus... Have you ever heard, for example, that smartphones are a source of radiation? And this is true, but it’s a kind of electromagnetic radiation that is completely safe for humans. And no, you can't cook an egg between two ringing phones – that's just an urban myth. You'd need about 7,000 phones to just warm up the egg a tiny bit. 😜 Other videos you might like: Why Phones Don't Have Removable Batteries Anymore    • Why Phones Don't Have Removable Batte...   12 Mistakes You Make When Charging Your Phone    • 12 Mistakes You Make When Charging Yo...   Don't Charge Your Phone to 100%, Here's Why    • Don't Charge Your Phone to 100%, Here...   TIMESTAMPS: Drain your battery completely before you recharge it 0:33 Your phone is safe without a screen protector 1:02 You can dry a wet phone with a hair dryer 1:30 If hairdryer is too hot, just drop the phone in a bag of rice 1:53 Charging overnight is bad for your phone 2:20 Closing background apps is a sure way to save battery 2:45 The more megapixels, the better the photos 3:11 Don’t keep your phone next to a credit card 3:41 Using free public Wi-Fi is a chancy business 4:05 4G eats more data than 3G 4:41 A fast charger can damage your phone 5:05 The more RAM, the better the phone is 5:37 4K display is what you absolutely need on your phone 6:10 Smartphones are a source of radiation 6:35 You can't use your smartphone when it's charging 7:02 Phones charge faster in airplane mode 7:26 Your gadget can really interfere with plane systems 7:51 If you take out your SIM card, no one will ever find you 8:16 Plastic-based smartphones are the worst 8:37 The only safe charger is the original one 9:00 Automatic brightness mode is a sure way to save battery 9:24 #smartphones #gadgets #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook:   / brightside   Instagram:   / brightgram   5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/ Learn more about your ad choices.

    6 Riddles That Only the Brightest Minds Can Crack

    Riddles, logical tasks, brainteasers and puzzles to check your logical skills. Some of them will take a few seconds and others require more time and effort. Only a lucky few can solve a problem just based on reasonable deduction. Are you among them? TIMESTAMPS Fake coins 0:28 A challenge for a chef 1:17 The worker's salary 2:28 Chickens and eggs 4:25 The princess and the knights 5:34 Three Doors 7:04 #riddles #brainpower #testlogic SUMMARY You have a scale and 3 gold coins, one of which is fake. The fake coin weighs less than the other 2. How can you determine which coin is the counterfeit? In order to win a culinary competition, a chef needs to cook 6 steaks within 15 minutes using only one frying pan. However, he can only fit 4 steaks in the pan at one time. So how can he do it? A farmer hires a worker to build a well. He promises to pay him with gold every day. The worker says that it’ll take him 7 days and that he’ll start on Monday. The farmer has a bar of gold, and he’d originally planned to saw off 1/7th of it every day. However, by some strange intervention or an oddly specific saw, he can only make 2 cuts. What can he do in order to pay the worker his promised daily salary? An old lady has 3 chickens that can lay 3 eggs in 3 days. One day she decides she needs more eggs, so she buys 12 more chickens. How many eggs will the old lady have in 15 days? Once upon a time there lived a king who wanted to find a suitable husband for his daughter, so he arranged a knight tournament. The candidates had to endure a lot of challenges, and at the end there were only two men left. In order to decide who would marry his daughter, the king ordered the knights to ride their horses to the lake. The one who got there last would get the princess. The knights mounted their horses and rode to the lake very slowly since neither one of them wanted to be the first! Finally, after a week of riding at a snail’s pace, they gave up, got off their horses, shook each other’s hand, and decided to go home. But then the princess came up to them and whispered something in their ear. The knights immediately jumped on their horses and rushed to the lake. What exactly did the princess say? Behind the first door, there were thousands of venomous snakes that could kill him instantly. Behind the second door, there was an electric chair and an executioner who would also kill the boy immediately. Behind the third door, there was a lion that hadn’t eaten for days. Can you help the boy get out?

    8 Easy Ways to Make Your Teeth Whiter at Home

    How to make your teeth whiter? Many people believe that a white-teeth smile is something a person is born with: either you have it or you don’t. Luckily, that's not the case! Particular toothbrushing techniques can help you make your smile brighter and whiter. The first step on your journey to white teeth is to choose the right products. Your toothbrush, toothpaste, and even your mouthwash play a significant role in how bright your smile will be. You need to care for your teeth regularly. According to Dr. Kathleen W. Wilson, you should brush your teeth twice a day: right after you get out of bed and before you go to sleep at night. In the morning, you clean off the bacteria and plaque that has accumulated during the night because the saliva that protects your mouth dries up when you sleep. This is also why you need to remove all pieces of food and clean your mouth before going to bed. Also, remember to floss your teeth every time you feel the need. If you want to learn how to care for your teeth to reach an impressive result, watch the video! TIMESTAMPS: Choose the right toothbrush 0:51 Pick the right toothpaste 1:26 Pay attention to your mouthwash 2:05 Brush your teeth correctly 2:59 Remember to replace your toothbrush 3:45 Follow a white-teeth diet 4:24 Know your enemies 6:45 Maintain your teeth daily 8:33 #whiteteeth #hollywoodsmile #teethwhitening Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: If your goal is to make your smile shine brightly, choose a toothbrush with rubber inserts. Such devices were created with the very purpose of making your teeth whiter because the rubber inserts polish your teeth really well. According to numerous studies, the abrasive particles in whitening toothpaste don't harm teeth. They are no more damaging to the enamel than any other toothpaste. After brushing your teeth, remember to clean your tongue as well. This way, you'll get rid of bacteria buildup and, consequently, eliminate the main cause of bad breath. If you dream about a white smile, get rid of your toothbrush as soon as you notice that its bristles have become frayed. And it doesn't matter if it isn't 2 months old yet. Vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower can make your teeth whiter if you crunch these products raw. Nuts and seeds act as amazing exfoliants. When you munch on almonds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds, their abrasive texture strips surface stains from the enamel of your teeth. Dairy products make your mouth produce more saliva, which breaks down enamel stains. Plus, cheese has a whitening effect thanks to the lactic acid it contains. Having an incredibly high water content, celery washes away pieces of food stuck between your teeth and makes your gums stronger. There are products that can leave stains on your teeth or make the color of the teeth darker. Among such foods are blueberries, beets, popsicles, tomato sauce, soy sauce, and balsamic vinegar.
