Today I thought I will share something super fun and super interesting with everyone. What man made monument can be seen by naked eye far from the moon?
Any guesses? well if I were asked this question I might have said Great Wall Of China also or something similar but from my research it looks like I have got the wrong answer.
The true fact is that, you cannot see anything on earth from the moon.
You can see monuments and other artifacts from the space which is just 100km away from the earth, but moon it is impossible.
However, at an altitude of only a few thousand miles after leaving the Earth’s orbit, no objects made by man are visible. Further to clarify the fact, even continents are not visible at few thousand altitude.

When you are asked, “What is the largest living thing on earth?” the
first thing that inevitably comes to mind are whales but you cannot be
more wrong.
It’s a mushroom.
And this mushroom is not even a rare one. It is likely that you have
already encountered honey fungus in your own backyard in an old
tree-stump.
But for your sake, just hope that it won’t grow as large as the one
found in Malheur National Forest in Oregon. This is because the
mushroom there covers around 890 hectares and it is estimated to be
between 2,000 and 8,000 years old. You won’t see it completely though
because most of it is found underground in the guise of a large mat of
mycelia. The tentacle-like mycelia spreads throughout the tree rots
and kills the trees. It peeps up from the soil in the form of
innocent-looking honey mushrooms.
The giant fungus in Oregon was originally thought to be separate
clusters that grow throughout the forest. However, researchers have
discovered that it is actually the world’s largest organism found
under the soil.

Thinking about what to write today, I came up with a great post for everyone. This time something out of blue, I thought about it for a while and I think everyone will like it. It is good to know these little things as it doesn’t hurt. And I love knowing things, I am a curious person after all and I know everyone loves to know answer to these crazy questions.
So today its all about airports, the 5 busiest international airports (passengers wise). By the way one of them is my favorite spot, for many different reasons which I cannot disclose here, but anyways here is the list in order —-
1. Atlanta (Hartsfield) in the USA – Over 80 million passengers per year
2. Chicago (O’Hare) again in the USA – Over 70 million passengers per year. “btw I can tell you its really a busy spot”
3. London (Heathrow) in the UK – Over 65 million passengers per year.
4. Tokyo (Haneda) in Japan – Aroun d 60 million passengers per year. “I love tokyo most beautiful city I ever been to”
5. Los Angeles (Lost Angeles) once again USA – Almost 57 million passengers per year. “It’s my dream to visit LA one day”
By the way if you ask me which airport name appeals to me the most? I must say Heathrow. I love UK its been 8 years since I last visited UK but its one amazing place.
My dream is to visit LA one day. I mean LA has a feel to its name itself lol..
Thats it for today..
