Cool to know:
Fact: Your eye can see a
million different colors
Our bodies are made up
of some bizarre features!
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, humans can distinguish
approximately 10 million colors. That’s thanks to the cone cells in your
retina, the back part of your eye that senses light and sends signals to your
brain. These alerts allow you to perceive different colors. Some people who
have a rare condition called tetrachromacy have an extra eye cone that enables
them to see hundreds of millions of colors.

Just off the coast of
Corsica, France, the Sanguinaires Islands rise from the Mediterranean as a
small archipelago of four rugged, rocky islands. Viewed from a historic
watchtower, they sit at the entrance to the Gulf of Ajaccio. Steep cliffs,
centuries-old landmarks and sweeping sea views have drawn visitors to the area
for generations. Though the farthest island lies only about 1.2 miles from
shore, the archipelago feels surprisingly remote, surrounded by open water and
shaped by wind, waves and salt spray.
Interesting Space Facts:
Because of its unique
tilt, a season on Uranus is equivalent to 21 Earth years.
Also, the 97.77-degree
tilt of Uranus’ axis means that a day there lasts only 17 hours, 14 minutes,
and 24 seconds.
