5 Facts that will blow your mind.

The Earth has no moons. 'The Moon', according to most recent scientific thinking, is now outside the definition of 'moon' and is actually a binary planet. Image
2. Everybody - even the uneducated - in medieval times knew the Earth was a sphere. Probably since the 4th century BC, in fact.

The 'Flat Earth' idea seems to have come from the American writer Washington Irving in 1829. Image
3. At the 'Southern Pole of Inaccessibility' - the loneliest place on the planet, there is one object to mark the spot - a bust of Lenin. It's been there since Russian explorers reached the spot in 1958. ImageImage

Really amazing! However, for teaching I’ve been using a cryo EM of Sindbis from a 18 yr old JVI paper of Michael Rossmann and @DirectorPI4D, which I already found utmost stunning: jvi.asm.org/content/jvi/76…

La llegada a la #Luna👩‍🚀🚀 hace 50años es uno de los mayores logros de la #Ciencia. ¡Por eso la obsesión de tantos negacionistas con el tema! Los mismos q ayer negaron a Copérnico & Galileo, hoy niegan el Alunizaje, las Vacunas o el #CambioClimatico. Acéptenlo: #ScienceRocks🤘😆
