The other day, I saw a TV program about eating raw fish. Seeing a live fish sliced and put on plate, I wondered if fish can feel pain. I did some research to find the answer. It turns out that experts do not agree on the matter. Researchers in Scotland did a study on Rainbow Trout. They looked at their behavior and concluded that fish do feel pain. On the other hand, researchers in the United States and Australia thought differently. Pointing out differences in brain structure, they said that fish don't experience pain like humans do. With studies reaching very different conclusions, we cannot be sure whether or not fish feel pain. But they can feel stress, so we should at least be careful when handling them.

Eugene Cernan was a respected American astronaut and the last man to walk on the moon. He traveled into space on three separate occasions. The first was as Pilot of the Gemini 9A mission in 1966. Then in 1969, he was Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 10. Finally, he was Commander of the Apollo 17 mission in 1972. It was on this last mission that Cernan walked on the moon. He and another astronaut completed three separate spacewalks on the moon's surface. The research performed on the mission provided valuable information to scientists. However, the mission is most famous for what Cernan did just before leaving the moon. Wanting to do something special for his daughter Tracy, Cernan traced her initials, TDC, into the soil. Considering the fact that nobody has walked on the moon since Cernan, Tracy's initials may still be there today!

I just watched a television program about interesting tourist spots around the world. My favorite was Angel Falls in Venezuela. Last year, I visited Niagara Falls, and I thought it was amazing. But Angel Falls looked much more impressive. And it is much taller than Niagara Falls. In fact, at nearly a full kilometer, it is taller than any other waterfall in the world. I want to visit Angel Falls some day. It is much more difficult to get there than it is to get to Niagara Falls. However, I think the difficult journey would be worth it!

For a long time, scientists studying human facial expressions limited their research to six basic emotions. These were happiness, surprise, anger, sadness, fear, and disgust. Recently, though, researchers have been studying and giving names to more and more emotions. These newly labeled emotions, such as "happily surprised" and "sadly fearful," are combinations of the original six. Interestingly, they involve facial muscle movements of both of the "parent" emotions. So, for example, when you feel happy, you smile. And when you feel disgusted, you might move your nose. But if you feel "happily disgusted," you will do both. These studies have proven that humans are becoming more and more expressive.

What is the scariest place you can think of? Maybe it is a dark building. A haunted house would be even scarier. The empty town of Pripyat and the nearby remains of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant are still more terrifying. In 1986, a reactor at the plant overheated and exploded. This released much more radiation than any other nuclear event had released before. Everyone in Pripyat had to leave right away. Today, only an empty city remains. There are hotels, apartment buildings, and even a Ferris wheel, but the only people there are a few brave tourists. Because of the radiation, they can only stay for a short amount of time. This strange silent environment makes Pripyat scarier than any other place you can visit!
