What Lies Beneath Yemen’s Mysterious Giant Hole



If you see a hole in soil, you might think someone has drilled it or maybe you're on the territory of some mole. But it can be much worse… What if it turns out to be a sinkhole of unknown origin? There's a mysterious huge hole in the desert of Yemen that releases an awful odor. And no-one knows the reason. The Well of Barhout is a huge hole located in the desert of Yemen. According to the authorities, the well’s depth may be up to 250 metres. However, no-one's ever reached the bottom. Officials have no idea what's hiding inside this hole. Let's explore the world's most terrible holes created by nature! #brightside TIMESTAMPS

What If a Huge Extinct Ape Was Still Alive Today?



Gigantopithecus is an extinct genus of ape. It was enormous in size, a real-life Goliath of an ape. It existed until 300,000 years ago, and might’ve weighed up to 1,000 pounds. Just imagine an ape THAT big chasing you in a tropical forest. You'd probably think he was eager to devour you. But those huge species were fruit-eaters. So they wouldn't cause you any harm. But what if Gigantos lives nowadays? Would they get protection and survive just like pandas do? Or maybe they'd even help us uncover some of the secrets of the past… Homo Sapiens had many descendants that simply vanished with evolution. If Gigantos lived now, we could learn so much about ourselves. #brightside TIMESTAMPS

He Was Forgotten In Space For 5 Months



Imagine being stranded in space with no idea how you can go back. Sounds like a real nightmare, right? This is a true story that happened to a real astronaut. He was sent to space on a mission that was supposed to last only 5 months. But in the end, he was stuck there for 311 consecutive days. Let's listen to the story of this astronaut and find out what exactly went wrong. How did he manage to return home after spending 10 months on a spaceship all alone? We'll see that an astronaut's job isn't all about excitement, stunning views of the Earth and zero gravity. It can be pretty unpredictable and dangerous… #brightside TIMESTAMPS

– According to the plan, the mission should have lasted for 5 months;
– He wasn't ready for such a long stay in space he hadn't trained for it;
– They contacted Sergey and said he couldn't return since the country that promised to bring him home no longer existed;
– In conditions of zero gravity the human body takes serious damage;
– There's a lot of radiation in space which is dangerous for people;
– In space, the astronaut's immune system changes;
– Work in space can last up to several hours;
– Your body weakens, you don't breathe fresh air, you can't see your friends, and you don't have the opportunity to return home;
– Germany paid about $24 million for a ticket to the station to replace the astronaut;
– When Krikalev returned, he looked very thin, sweaty, and exhausted;
– Later he set a world record for the total duration of stay in space at 803 days.
