Ilha da Queimada Grande, nicknamed Snake Island, is a 430,000-square-metre (43-hectare) island off the coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil.[1][2] It is home to an endemic species of Bothrops, the Golden Lancehead Viper (Bothrops insularis), which is one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Much about its venom is disputed, as no cases of humans having been bit have been confirmed.[3]
The Golden Lancehead is the only species of snake on the island, and is considered in danger of extinction since it has no other habitat, only feeds on migratory birds, and might be wiped out by a wildfire. The viper population may also be at risk from inbreeding, effects of which are evident in the population. Nevertheless, statistics from 2004 show that the population is stable. A 2015 estimate by a herpetologist on a Discovery Channel documentary states that there are about four thousand Golden Lancehead vipers living on the island.
A Discovery Channel documentary, Treasure Quest: Snake Island, claimed that there is between two and four thousand snakes on the 430,000 square meter island, which equates to an average of one snake per approximately 75 square meters over the entire island. This contrasts with claims of an average of one to as many as five snakes per square meter.[4]
Plans to build a banana plantation on the island fizzled, but this is likely the origin of the island's name, as in Portuguese, queimadais a name for a slash-and-burn fire (i.e., to clear land for agriculture); so, the island's name would mean "the island of the big land-clearing fire." A lighthouse was constructed on the island in 1909.[5] For a long time, the island's only inhabitant was a lighthousekeeper, who reportedly ran out of food and went missing trying to gather wild bananas from near the shore. According to legend, he and the members of his rescue party died one by one, all alone and in search of one another after each had been missing for some time. The lighthouse is now automated.[1][6]
Currently, the Brazilian Navy bans civilians from the island, though scientists sometimes receive waivers.

Dasarth's wife Falguni Devi died from lack of medical care in 1959. The nearest town with a doctor was 70 km away traveling around the hills, or along a treacherous pass through the hills. He decided to carve a path through the Gehlour hills so that his village could have easier access to medical attention
Dashrath Manjhi carved a path 360-foot-long (110 m) through-cut, 25-foot-deep (7.6 m) in places and 30-foot-wide (9.1 m) to form a road[6] through the rocks in the Gehlour hill. He quoted that, When I started hammering the hill, people called me a lunatic but that steeled my resolve.
He completed the work in 22 years (1960–1982). This road reduced the distance between the Atri and Wazirganj blocks of the Gaya district from 55 km to 15 km. Though mocked for his efforts, he has made life easier for people of Gehlour village.[2][7] Later, Manjhi said, Though most villagers taunted me at first, there were quite a few who lent me support later by giving me food and helping me buy my tools.[8][9]
Sometimes I write about photos of space because of the remarkable processes that created them. Sometimes I write about pictures of space because I want to literally wear that space on my body. I mean, this planetary nebula could basically just go straight into a ring, barring its immense size and the fact that it's made of ionized gas and a dying star.
Can I at least get it printed on a skirt, please?
Pictured above is NGC 6818, also known as the Little Gem Nebula, which is located 6,000 light years away in the constellation Sagittarius. It's not newly discovered, but it's given a major makeover in this new image, thanks to some new color filters. At half a light year across, it's huge compared to us -- but tiny for a nebula. Just days ago we gawked at the Southern Owl Nebula, which is eight times bigger than the little gem.
Need a refresher on planetary nebulae? They've got nothing to do with planets. They're so named for their round (ish) shapes.
When a star is at the tail-end of its time as a red giant, it throws its gases off into space, forming a loose sphere around the star's smaller, white giant self. The star's exposed core ionizes the gases, which gives them brilliant color. After just a few tens of thousands of years -- a blip in the star's lifespan, which lasts billions and billions -- the gases will have all oozed out into space, leaving the tiny white dwarf behind as it continues to die.

Om Banna got married and purchased a bullet bike quickly after his wedding. His attraction towards his bullet was very uncommon. In 1988, 24 years old Om Singh Rathore recognized as Om Banna, was gone from the city known as Bangdi near Sanderao of Pali to Chotila then suddenly om Banna get unbalanced from his motorbike and hit a tree. Om Banna was killed immediately, his bike dropping into a close by dump. The early morning after the incident, regional cops took the bike to a native police station. The next day it was noted to have gone away from the police station and was discovered back in the accident spot. The police, one time again, took the motorbike to the police station and this time draining its petrol reservoir and placing it under secure and chain to avoid its removing. Regardless of their attempts, the next morning once again it’s gone away and was found at the incident spot. Local people say that the motorbike kept coming back again to the similar ditch. It turned away every effort by police to hold it at the nearby police station; the bike was often come back to the similar location before daybreak.
Accomplishing all the traditions, the family was in strong sadness because of the Om Banna accident. Shortly Om Banna made a physical appearance in his grandmother’s dreams questioning for two yards of lands to build a temple. This was the cause that they built the temple at that spot. This came to be viewed as a wonder by nearby people, and they started to worship the “Om Banna’s Bullet Bike.” The News flash of the wonder motorbike passes onto the area villages, and afterwards they made a temple to worship it. That temple is regarded as “Temple of Bullet Baba’s.” It is considered that Om Banna’s soul assists troubled tourists. This temple consists of a tree decorated with products like bangles, jewelry and red colored piece of string. This Om Banna’s temple next to the Enfield motorbike has a huge image of Singh.

In a befitting tribute to the former president of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, a UN-sponsored global satellite will be named after him.
The satellite, GlobalSat, is an effort of 150 partner nations for observation of Earth and Disaster Risk Reduction and the decision to name it after Dr Kalam came when Milind Pimprikar, Chairman of CANEUS (Canada-Europe-US-Asia) headquartered in Montreal, Canada, said the decision was taken at its recent meeting to honour the pioneer scientist of missiles and satellite technologies along with ISRO.
Pimprikar has explained that the move will be a befitting defended the move citing Dr. Kalam’s “World Space Vision-2050″ that espoused the global nations to come together in exploring the solution to recurrent natural disasters, acute energy crunch and lack of basic health-care, education, water and weather-prone nature’s fury. Since the UN-sponsored satellite initiative is meant for similar goals, Pimprikar said the satellite would be an apt tribute to the departed leader who vouched for it for over a decade.
Otherwise, ‘GlobalSat’ satellite is the outcome of 150 UN nations to share technology and vision to prepare for natural disasters and the idea came after the world witnessed in shock the devastation caused by Japan Earthquake and tsunami in March 2011. A dedicated satellite to answer the needs of the entire globe was taken up at the third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held in Sendai, Japan in March 2015, three years after the disaster.
The upcoming satellite will be named after Dr Abdul Kalam and the decision is likely to be approved by the member nations in the September UN session, which Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is supposed to attend.
Although Thrust SSC is the first car to break the sound barrier, it is alleged that Budweiser Rocket Car, driven by Stan Barrett (US), reached a speed of 1,190.377 km/h (739.666 mi/h) at Edwards Air Force Base, California, USA, on 17 December 17 1979. However, the published speed of Mach 1.0106 was not officially sanctioned by the USAF, as the Digital Instrument Radar was not calibrated or certified. The radar information was not generated using the vehicle directly but by an operator aiming aiming a dish using a TV screen.
Randy Gardner (born c. 1947) is the holder of the scientifically documented record for the longest period a human has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. In 1964, Gardner, a 16-year-old high school student in San Diego, California, stayed awake for 264.4 hours (11 days 24 minutes). This period of sleeplessness broke the previous record of 260 hours and 17 minutes held by disk jockey Tom Rounds of Honolulu.[1]
Gardner's record attempt was attended by Stanford sleep researcher Dr. William C. Dement. Gardner's health was monitored by Lt. Cmdr. John J. Ross.[1] A log was kept by two classmates from Point Loma High School, Bruce McAllister and Joe Marciano Jr.[2] Accounts of Gardner's sleep-deprivation experience and medical response became widely known among the sleep research community
One of the most death-defying and incredible performance artists in the world, Ronningsbakken first got into the art of balancing when he was just five years old. His interest was sparked when he saw a person do one-of-a-kind feats on TV. When Ronningsbakken was 18, he ran away to a circus and performed there for 11 years. He knew that balancing was exactly what he wanted to do.
Now in his early thirties, Ronningsbakken puts his life on the line by riding a bicycle upside down on a tightrope over a canyon and doing handstands on a bar that hangs under a flying hot-air balloon. In the video above, you can see him ride a bicycle backward down one of the curviest roads in Norway. Ronningsbakken isn’t fearless, however, admitting that he gets anxiety before some stunts. He claims that fear is part of what makes us human and that if he ever lost his sense of fear, he’d immediately quit; he’d be afraid of not being fully human.
ONE hundred and ten years ago, German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen announced his discovery of an invisible form of radiation that could make photographs of bones and organs inside a living human body. At first, many scientists called the discovery of "X-rays" a hoax, but when the skeptics put Roentgen's claims to the test, they quickly were convinced about one of the greatest discoveries in science and medicine. Indeed, just six years after his discovery, Roentgen was awarded the first Nobel Prize in physics.
Now comes a teenage girl from Saransk, Russia, who claims to have X-ray-like vision, which lets her see inside of human bodies, to make diagnoses that often are more accurate than those of doctors. First widely hailed in Russia as "the girl with X-ray eyes," 17-year-old Natasha Demkina has a growing following of patients, doctors, journalists, and others who are convinced her powers are real.
In March 2004, the producer of a Discovery Channel documentary on Natasha asked the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal (CSICOP) and the affiliated Commission for Scientific Medicine and Mental Health (CSMMH) to scientifically test the young woman's claims. In response, CSICOP research fellows Ray Hyman, Ph.D. and Richard Wiseman, Ph.D., and I designed a preliminary test for judging whether her abilities warranted further, study. After Natasha, her mother, her agent, and the producer agreed to the test rules, we all flew to New York for filming the test on the City College of New York campus.
The black mamba's reputation is not undeserved. “Black mambas are extremely toxic and very fast snakes,” Viernum said. They are highly aggressive when threatened, “known to strike repeatedly and [to] inject a large volume of venom with each strike.” Their venom is potentially lethal, and though antivenin exists, it is not widely available in the black mamba’s native habitat of southern and eastern Africa. For this reason, they are considered a top killer in a land where nearly 20,000 people die from snake bites every year, according to PBS’s Nature.
