Your daily dose of strange, awesome and mystery - January 29, 2021
Lots of odd things going on right now!
Are you ready? Here you go!
That’s the vertical magnetic field of edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 5775 spiraling across the empty space. Out-of-this-world, isn’t it?
Awesome! An Austrian man who fled the Nazis with his family during the second world war has bequeathed a large part of his fortune to the French village, Chambon-sur-Lignon, whose residents hid them from persecution for years.
This guy was driving on a highway in Slovenia, when suddenly… WOW! Did you see that?
And it seems that a meteorite has just crashed onto a home in Indonesia. The space rock is pretty big (2.2kg). Would love to have it in my collection!
Natural disasters

Right now, rangers are investigating mystery deaths of more than 700 pelicans at Djoudj bird sanctuary, a migratory pitstop for hundreds of bird species in Senegal. What about another case of bird flu?
A new whale species has been identified in the Gulf of Mexico. Bryde’s whales are found in warm waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans. They are closely related to the blue whale and humpback whale. And it's already critically endangered. Say hello, wave goodbye! (also great song by David Gray).
Some say it's good for us, that this blood-like water is the cleansing we needed. When the rains from tropical storm Eloise hit the Northern Cape (South Afric), the waters of the Ga-Mogara River created a sea of red and orange.
Scientists have spotted three mysterious ozone-depleting chemicals in Earth’s atmosphere. Emissions of those puzzling compounds continue to rise, apparently from factories in East Asia. What’s this new mess?
Odd, strange and mysterious
Did you know that Alaska also had its own Bermuda Triangle?
Moreover, multiple people have reported seeing an odd string of lights at night near Charlotte, igniting talk of UFOs on social media.
What the hell was that?
Swiss scientists think they have debunked the mysterious 1959 death of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains in the former Soviet Union. Also known as the Dyatlov Pass Incident, the tragic event has spawned a number of theories, from murderous Yeti to secret military experiments.
Ancient history
A total of 25 ancient tombs with human skulls enfolded in vessels have been discovered in a township in southwest China's Guizhou Province. Probably linked to religious beliefs. Meanwhile, archaeologists in Turkey have discovered a mysterious ancient kingdom lost in history.
The existence of the Denisovans was discovered just a decade ago through DNA alone. Now we're starting to uncover fossils and artefacts revealing what these early humans were like.
