From Cleo Abram. In 2011, a HUGE earthquake started off the coast of Japan…and no one saw it coming… That’s why just months afterwards, Japan started building a network of detectors in the ocean to cover the place where tectonic plates meet. It has increased warning times enough to divert incoming planes, trains, and boats,…

From Cleo Abram. I’ve been cheering at the wrong moment during a rocket launch… No! I mean, incredibly cool, but for the engineers, they’re still anxious, because liftoff’s just the START… a BIG test is about to happen around a minute in, at a point called “Max Q” And this is why it’s important… so…

From Cleo Abram. Watch this insect’s wings unfold to be TEN TIMES their folded size! How do they do it? Turns out, the secret isn’t muscles….it’s a stretchy protein that dictates the folding pattern, kind of like origami! We’ve taken inspiration from nature to help us engineer telescopes and solar panels, making it easier to…

From Cleo Abram. THIS is a human embryo implanting itself, caught in 3D for the FIRST TIME EVER… You remember, egg meets sperm to make an embryo and then it attaches itself to the lining of the uterus where it gets the nutrients to grow! But this only goes right about 40% of the time,…

From Cleo Abram. I have a question. What if you just kept shrinking? By the time you’re smaller than an ant, you could safely jump off a chair – air resistance lets you glide down. But bad news, your voice is so high that no human can hear you anymore! Plus, insects are MONSTERS! Now,…

From Cleo Abram. Sharks have a special sixth sense that makes them super effective apex predators. It helps them find prey deep under the sand and in dark, murky waters, navigate the oceans, and maybe even detect temperature changes. Can you guess what it is? If you believe there should be more optimistic science and…

From Cleo Abram. You’re about to see a SUPERMOON… Supermoons only happen a few times per year and they always occur consecutively. You might have spotted one in October and we’re about to see a few more. But what really IS a supermoon and what causes it? Here’s when you can catch the next ones!…

From Cleo Abram. Watch this comet smash into Jupiter…. this happens a lot! And it might have saved your life. Jupiter is called the “vacuum cleaner of space” because of its unique ability to “clean up” our galaxy. Its massive size pulls passing objects into its orbit, sometimes shredding them to pieces and sometimes launching…

From Cleo Abram. This mantis Shrimp can punch faster than the blink of an eye with a force about 100x its own body weight. That’s the strongest self-powered punch in the animal kingdom! Their little fists of fury, known as dactyl clubs, are uniquely designed to absorb the shockwaves of their own creation… and engineers…

From Cleo Abram. Cane toads were brought into Australia in the 1930s in hopes that they would act as a form of pest control and eat beetles that were destroying sugar cane crops. But… the experiment backfired. Within 20 years the cane toad was thriving as an invasive species and predators have been unable to…

From Cleo Abram. If you chop off this animal’s head, it just… grows another one. If you chop it in half, or into 20 pieces, it just forms into new animals. If you TOSS IT IN A BLENDER, blend it up, then put it in a centrifuge, it still just COMES RIGHT BACK. And it…

From Cleo Abram. What’s the biggest asteroid to ever hit the Earth? Turns out the one that killed the dinosaurs WASN’T that big… at least compared to others that have hit our planet before… Here’s how they stack up… To find out how we’re protecting Earth, subscribe! #shorts #asteroids #earth #space #science
