1. Fish have hands

The pink fish in this picture is using the same fins as the arms to crawl on the bottom of the sea rather than swimming like normal fish. This is one of nine new fish species discovered in May last year.

2. The author of 'Books at the Dead Sea'

In 1947, archaeologists found a great book of Essenes sect at Qumran near the Dead Sea with hundreds of books written on donkey leather rolls, on bronze bars or wooden bars collectively called " The Dead Sea Scrolls " (Books of the Dead Sea).

In the past year, archaeological discoveries in many ways have helped scientists full of hope to decipher the long-standing puzzle: Who is the true author of these books.

The results show that ' Books at the Dead Sea ' are most likely a cultural treasure of exiled Jews during the war. Even, it is most likely a great treasure of Jesuralem Holy Church.

3. Discover many exotic animals on the bottom of Greenland sea

This fish with the scientific name Chaenophry Longiceps makes people think that they are made from a sci-fi movie. However, they are one of 38 newly discovered fish species in the Greenland Sea. In the February report of scientists, 10 of them were the first species to be discovered.

4. Detecting boat relics Noah

In April this year, a group of Hong Kong and Turkish scientists announced that they found the remains of the legendary Noah boat in the Ararat mountain area, eastern Turkey. Scientists claim that the ancient boat dates up to 4800 years, the period when Noah was described in the Bible. However, some scientists do not think this is the true legendary Noah boat.

5. Bats are like aliens

Last October, the International Conservation Organization announced that it was discovered in the remote jungle area of ​​Papua New Guinea a bat with a nose shaped exactly like Jedi Master Yoda in the movie " Chien." Star War.

Scientists have found more than 200 species of animals and plants in the pristine mountain areas of Muller and Nakanai in Papua New Guinea. Among mammals, 24 species of frogs, 9 species of plants, nearly 100 species of insects such as dragonflies, crickets, ants, and about 100 species of spiders.

6. Each black hole exists another universe

Like a part of Russian Matryoska dolls, our universe may exist in a black hole. And this black hole, in turn, can exist inside a larger universe. In contrast, black holes, from large to small, have been discovered long ago by humans, most likely a pathway to other worlds.

That was the statement of Nikodem Poplawski of Indiana University in Bloomington, USA in a study published in March this year.

7. Found the lost Amazon civilization

In a work published in early January this year, scientists discovered hundreds of circular, square and geometric structures covered by jungle. This proves that there was a developed civilization in the Amazon region that people never knew.

Since 1999, through satellite images, more than 200 constructions of wood and land have been discovered stretching over 250 km along the Amazon basin. According to researchers' calculations, a number of ten times more wood and land buildings are being covered by dense forests.

8. Lizard breeds

A newly discovered species of exotic lizards in Australia has abandoned the way of ' traditional ' spawning to switch to childbirth. This golden belly and three-legged lizard species often lives in the coastal areas of New South Wales and Autrailia. However, while the lowland lizards still lay eggs, the lizards that live in the high and cold lands maintain the race in the way of 'childbirth '.

9. Mysterious structure outside the universe

In 2008, scientists' reports confirmed that hundreds of galactic assemblies are moving toward the same direction at 3.6 million km per hour. This movement cannot be explained by existing universe models. Therefore, the researchers propose an explanation that is still controversial, that the galactic clusters are attracted by the gravitational pull of a known outer universe.

In 2010, a team of scientists discovered, 'dark flow' expanded beyond imagination compared to previous reports with a range of more than 2.5 billion light-years from Earth. .

10. Chile earthquake makes the day shorter

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the strength of the 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Chile in late February could displace the Earth's center, making the day a short time. than.

Richard Gross, a geophysicist at NASA, used a computer model to understand the impact of an earthquake on Earth. The results show that, because the speed of rotation around the Earth's axis is faster, the earthquake in Chile may have made the Earth's day shorter by 1.26 milliseconds. The change is not significant, but it will have a long-term impact on our green planet.
