Science once believed bumblebees shouldn't be able to fly because their wings seemed too small for their bodies
Researchers later discovered their rapid wingbeats create tiny air vortices that generate enough lift to keep them airborne

Mercury is in Retrograde again
Mercury has entered its latest retrograde, an apparent backward motion in the sky that will last until July 23. The effect is caused by the relative motion of Earth and Mercury not the planet actually reversing its orbit
There are parents who drive their children to school every morning.
Then there was Mia Khan, a daily-wage laborer from Afghanistan's Paktika Province, who traveled 12 kilometers by motorcycle every day for more than seven years just to ensure his three daughters could get an education.
What makes his story remarkable isn't just the distance—it's what happened after he arrived.
Instead of returning home to work, Mia Khan waited outside the school for nearly four hours until classes ended, simply to make sure his daughters got there safely and returned home safely. He did this in a region where many girls still faced significant barriers to education and where sending daughters to school was not always encouraged.
The sacrifice came at a personal cost. Mia had been forced to leave school as a child because his family could no longer afford it. Years later, when money became tight again, he made the painful decision to prioritize his daughters' education because he believed it could change the future of his family and his community.
When illness prevented him from working, his wife, Khorma, took a job cleaning hospital floors. Watching doctors earn respect while caring for others only strengthened their determination.
Mia Khan's dream was to see his daughters become doctors.
Years later, reports indicated that one of his daughters became a trained midwife.
A parent's sacrifice can change generations.
