Highlights included:     - Opening with new single ‘A&W’     - ‘Blue Jeans’, ‘The Grants’     - ‘Ride’ in front of a montage of...

  Neptune 🌊  The 8th and farthest planet in our solar system Quick Facts - Type: Ice giant - Distance from Sun: ∼4.5 billion km / 30 AU. Takes 165 Earth years to orbit once - Diameter: ∼49,244 km — about 4x wider than Earth - Day length: 16.1 Earth hours - Year: 164.8 Earth years - Moons: 14 known moons. Biggest is _Triton_ - Rings: Yes, faint and dark. 5 main rings - Color: Deep blue due to methane in the atmosphere - Temperature: ~-214°C at the cloud tops. Coldest planet in the solar system What makes Neptune special 1. Windiest planet: Winds can hit 2,100 km/h. That’s faster than the speed of sound on Earth 2. Great Dark Spot: Like Jupiter’s Red Spot, but storms come and go. Voyager 2 saw one in 1989 3. Discovered with math: Scientists predicted Neptune’s position by noticing Uranus’ orbit was being tugged. It was found in 1846 — the only planet found this way 4. Triton is weird: Neptune’s largest moon orbits _backwards_ and has geysers that shoot nitrogen ice. It’s probab...

 The Bermuda Triangle  It's an area in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean, roughly between Miami, Bermuda, and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Because of that triangle shape people started calling it the Bermuda Triangle. What it's known for The main idea is that a lot of ships and planes have disappeared there without a trace.

 The Pacific Ocean  It's the biggest and deepest ocean on Earth. It covers about one third of the whole planet's surface. Basic facts Location: stretches from the Arctic in the north to Antarctica in the south. It’s bordered by Asia and Australia on the west, and the Americas on the east. Size: around 165 million square kilometers. That’s bigger than all the land on Earth combined. Deepest point: the Mariana Trench, about 11,034 meters down. Mount Everest would fit inside it. Average depth: about 4,000 meters. What makes it special Ring of Fire: most of the world’s active volcanoes and earthquakes happen around the edges of the Pacific. That’s why countries like Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the US west coast get a lot of seismic activity. Islands: it has the most islands of any ocean. Think Hawaii, Fiji, Samoa, Philippines, Japan. Many of them are volcanic or coral atolls. Currents and weather: the Pacific drives a lot of global weather. El Niño and La Niña start here and affe...
