1. A cloud weighs around a million tonnes. A cloud typically has a volume of around 1km3 and a density of around 1.003kg per m3 –that's a density that’s around 0.4 per cent lower than the air surrounding it (this is how they are able to float).

2. Giraffes are 30 times more likely to get hit by lightning than people. True, there are only five well-documented fatal lightning strikes on giraffes between 1996 and 2010. But due to the population of the species being just 140,000 during this time, it makes for about 0.003 lightning deaths per thousand giraffes each year. This is 30 times the equivalent fatality rate for humans.

3. Identical twins don’t have the same fingerprints. You can’t blame your crimes on your twin, after all. This is because environmental factors during development in the womb (umbilical cord length, position in the womb, and the rate of finger growth) impact your fingerprint.

4. Earth’s rotation is changing speed. It's actually slowing. This means that, on average, the length of a day increases by around 1.8 seconds per century. 600 million years ago a day lasted just 21 hours.

5. Your brain is constantly eating itself. This process is called phagocytosis, where cells envelop and consume smaller cells or molecules to remove them from the system. Don’t worry! Phagocytosis isn't harmful, but actually helps preserve your grey matter.

6. The largest piece of fossilised dinosaur poo discovered is over 30cm long and over two litres in volume. Believed to be a Tyrannosaurus rex turd, the fossilised dung (also named a 'coprolite') is helping scientists better

National Indigenous Peoples Day

June 21

About National Indigenous Peoples Day

For generations, many Indigenous groups and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on June 21 or around that time of year because of the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.

National Aboriginal Day, now National Indigenous Peoples Day, was announced in 1996 by then Governor General of Canada, Roméo LeBlanc, through the Proclamation Declaring June 21 of Each Year as National Aboriginal Day. This was the result of consultations and statements of support for such a day made by various Indigenous groups: in 1982, the National Indian Brotherhood, now the Assembly of First Nations, called for the creation of National Aboriginal Solidarity Day in 1995, the Sacred Assembly, a national conference of Indigenous and nonIndigenous people chaired by Elijah Harper, called for a national holiday to celebrate the contributions of Indigenous Peoples also in 1995, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples recommended the designation of a National First Peoples Day

On June 21, 2017, the Prime Minister issued a statement announcing the intention to rename this day National Indigenous Peoples Day.

7. The Universe's average colour is called 'Cosmic latte'. In a 2002 study, astronomers found that the light coming from galaxies averaged into a beige colour that’s close to white.

8. Animals can experience time differently from humans. To smaller animals, the world around them moves more slowly compared to humans. Salamanders and lizards, for example, experience time more slowly than cats and dogs. This is because the perception of time depends on how quickly the brain can process incoming information.

9. Water might not be wet. This is because most scientists define wetness as a liquid’s ability to maintain contact with a solid surface, meaning that water itself is not wet, but can make other objects wet.

10.A chicken once lived for 18 months without a head. Mike the chicken's incredible feat was recorded back in the 1940s in the USA. He survived as his jugular vein and most of his brainstem were left mostly intact, ensuring just enough brain function remained for survival. In the majority of cases, a headless chicken dies in a matter of minutes.

TAURUS

(Apr. 21-May 20)

Explore other options when it comes to anything financial, especially if you suspect it could become difficult in the future to keep things going as they have been. Start looking into and gathering information on other alternatives from now to early July. This can result in leaving any sense of insecurity that has been developing behind you.

LEO (July 23-August 22)

Let go when it comes to trying to understand the true intentions of somebody else –youhaven’tgotthe time. There will be other people who are more open and obvious, though perhaps expect a lot. You need to spend some time contemplating any obligations that involve others up to early July and then balancing things out to mid July.

SCORPIO (Oct.23-Nov21)

Greater clarity when it comes to future possibilities or what is worth pursuing could now start to take shape to early July. More openness from somebody else could play a strong role. It can generate an improved sense of comfort when it comes to any dramatic changes this could generate in the long term, especially where stability is concerned.

GEMINI (May

21-June 20)

Don’t ignore any doubts you have now about whatever has been taking place since late May, especially if you have wondered what this will mean or develop into where the long term is concerned. Reconsideration might need to take place, to mid July, on where you now stand financially and what you can reasonably afford as time goes on.

VIRGO

(August 23-Sept.22)

Commitments you have had to deal with since late May could now lead you to giving more thought, up to early July, when it comes to what should take priority in your life, especially if dependence from somebody else has been involved. If you feel that dramatic changes need to be made when it comes to usual routines, it is up to you to set this in motion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18)

You can become more intense about what you are prepared to manage on a daily basis, especially if you realise you have been rather generous of yourself since late May. This attitude might also be directed to your general health and well being and particularly so if you have let good habit patterns drop of late because of more social activity or just relaxing more.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov.22-Dec.21)

Don’t ignore any uncertainties connected to other people that might have arisen since late May. Someone else could become more secretive to mid July. You need to be alert to any changes that have or could still take place with their behaviour. The main thing is not to make any major decisions that accommodates them but might affect you.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20)

There might be a sense of disappointment that you have not got as much done, organised or put in place, as you had hoped since late May. It may not hurt to relax a bit more to mid July by spending this week getting certain things out of the way, once and for all. The main thing is to look at what can be scaled down that will give you more freedom.

CANCER (June

21-July 22)

Mercury, the planet of decision making, thought and communication moves into your sign where it will remain until 2nd July. You need to give thought to yourself and anything that involves you in this time. Venus also moves in until 12th July and this will encourage you to take a balanced approach – this can be a very potent combination to get yourself on the right track.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct.22)

The determination of the expectations somebody else has could make you realise that the time for generosity needs to be curbed. There is something that could grow quite a bit up to June next year and you need to be sure you place yourself in a situation where you can handle any obligations that might go with it. This will require proper planning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22

-Jan.19)

There will be 2 Full Moons in your sign this year – one later this week and another one in a month. This one is more about new beginnings, which could certainly involve other people up to mid July. You could gain more recognition in some way but you also need to be mindful of how much you need to handle and not to let it get out of hand.

ARIES

(March 21-April 20)

Being practical when it comes to finances may encourage you to change your mind and drop something that has been a thought for a while. There will be a strong focus on getting some sort of order in place, up to mid July, by leaving behind any idealistic ideas you may have had. This can certainly involve home and family matters.
