Bacteria are absolute leaders among Earthlings in terms of numbers and ability to live in extreme conditions. There are species among them that can feed on inorganic substances. In recent decades, this ability has interested scientists.

In ancient Rome, sailors believed that crazy stars descended from the sky and rode on the masts of their ships. And it was considered a good sign. It means that the storm will end soon, and in the coming days the sea will be calm. However, if «crazy stars» appeared over a person’s head, it promised him misfortune. Today, the «crazy stars» are well studied by scientists and are called St. Elmo’s Lights.

«The creak of the Earth», «The Hum of the Earth» — this is what eyewitnesses call this phenomenon. There are many videos taken by people in the mountains during hiking or even from the windows of houses in the middle of the night.

A planet that has intelligence and comes into contact with its guests and inhabitants often becomes part of the plot of science fiction books and films. Remember, for example, Stanislav Lem’s «Solaris», the planet Penelope from Kir Bulychev’s book «The Girl from Earth» or James Cameron’s «Avatar». The action of these works takes place far away in space. But scientists suggest that our planet can also be considered a living superorganism with signs of an intelligent being.

In the wild, the ability to disguise is skill #1. At the same time, it does not matter whether you are a predator or prey — the ability to be inconspicuous and merge with the surrounding environment will be useful in both cases. Some animals have honed this skill so that it has become a real art. At the same time, they do not use any extraneous devices, but act exclusively with the help of the capabilities of their own body.

Friends, starting from April 2022, we have launched an environmental project aimed at preserving the population of waterfowl, their habitats and nesting sites, including rare birds listed in the Red Book of the Russian Federation and the Red Book of the Vladimir Region, such as the red-necked and black-necked grebe.
