Unknown Russia

It is supposed to be an object of a comet origin which can cause an air explosion near river Podkamennaya Tungusska  on the 30th of June 1908. Its power equals the power of hydrogen [                ] bomb. It resulted in deforestation at the area of 500 square kilometres as well as in earthquakes all around the planet – in Irkutsk, Tashkent, Tbilisi, London, Copenhagen, Jakarta and other cities.     tunguska

In 2986 Leonid Ershov managed to have several hairs of this creature. He gave them to the experts. They compared its DNA to the DNA of the man, cattle, cat, dog, pig, rabbit, elk, bird, but it didn’t coincide with any of them. The experts can just say that the hairs belong to an unknown herbivorous [                                      ]creature   bigfoot snowman

It was a sacred object in Ancient Russia. It got its name because of its colour which changes from grey to blue (when it rains). The weight of the object is 12 tons, its length is 3 metres. According to some legends, it was first dug, then sunk, but mysteriously it took its place on the bank of the lake by itself.  The blue stone

This island in the east of Russia resembles both a man and a fish (sometimes it is called a dolphin-man). According to nyfhs mythology, this is a lying spirit – the master of the world Myth Yz. He can move (and then it causes earthquakes) or even turn away from Asia and then the greater part of mankind would die      Sahkalin

The device is about the size of a shoebox. It may have been used to calculate the positions of planets, predict when eclipses were to occur, and solve other astronomical problems

Extraordinary men

He was born on the 14th of December in 1503.  French by origin,  he was an astrologer, a doctor, a pharmacologist  and an alchemist.  But mostly he was famous for his predictions, written in his book  “Centuries”.   Nosrtadamus

He was a Serbian-American inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer. He was an important contributor to the birth of commercial electricity, and is best known for developing the modern alternating current (AC) electrical supply system. His patents and theoretical work also formed the basis of wireless communication and the radio. Tesla 

Wonders of the world

In the Western Atlantic Ocean there is a very strange place. Lots of ships, boats and even planes have disappeared in this area. People have been puzzled by it for years. Scientists are trying to explain why that part of the world is so dangerous and unpredictable

In May 2007 an amateur-scientist Gordon Holms began to investigate sound signals in the lake. At the western shore he noticed that something was moving in the water. He switched on a camera. The film showed that a dark long (at about 15 metres) object was swimming towards the northern part of the lake at a speed of 10 km per hour. Its body was mainly covered with water but from time to time its head was seen above the water surface. The experts say that the film is real.              Lessy

They were first noticed in fields in southern England in the 1970s, but then spread over the world. People reported that they had seen balls of light and heard high-pitched noises over the fields.

It is a “goat vampire”. According to the legend it kills animals (mainly goats) and drinks their blood. Though there is no official scientific information about the existence of these creatures, people reveal them in different parts of the world – Dominican Republic, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Columbia, Honduras, Central and South America, the USA, the Ukraine  Chupakabra

These sounds are very much similar (the mistake is 0.001%) to the sounds from one of Jupiter’s satellites – Europe. According to the hypothesis these earth mammals might come from space and be the cleverest creatures on our planet  Dolphins

Mysterious space

It is a great astronomical event when 6 planets   - the Earth, Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and Uranus - make one line. This event happens one time for 20 years. It will be on the 21st of December 2012           the Parade of planets

It’s a famous photo from Mars’ surface. It was made in 1976 by space satellite  “Viking 1”. It was the picture that started a discussion about civilizations on this planet. Pictures taken later revealed that it was just a play of light and shadow Martian Sphinx

It is the 6th satellite of Jupiter. It is smaller than the Moon, but its surface is flat and icy. Thanks to this fact there supposed to be an undersurface ocean. It means that there can be some living organisms in it. More than that, the satellite has an oxygen atmosphere Europe

In February of 2008, the impression of a planet was discovered beyond Pluto and recorded in the Astronomical Journal, making it an official precedence. This planet is currently believed to be almost as large as the Earth, further proving the fact that there is a 10th planet in our solar system. Just how close it will be to the Earth in 2012 is not yet known but there is no reason to believe that it will not swiftly approach the Earth. X-planet Nibiru

In 2010 scientists declare that this space object originated because of the collision of 2 planets: Phaeton and Nibiru. NASA experts sent a special device to the object with the help of which they revealed traces of organic molecules on the stones. Therefore these are the fragments of a planet where there might be living organisms           asteroid belt

Interesting inventions

It is the lightest substance in the world. Experts declare that this material will be used for saving the heat, noise, or lessen vibration and strikes. It has a strictly ordered structure, which makes it much more reliable and stronger than all former materials metal

This piece of clothes can work as a notebook. The designers managed to build a mobile keyboard, a small mouse and even a stereo in. This “device” is connected with a notebook  with the help of a wireless technology and lets the user move even while typing process. More than that, this piece of clothes is very light and practical computer jeans

This device consists of two small bags filled with liquid which are supposed to generate electricity enough to light up a lamp, or to make a mobile phone or notebook work. The only disadvantage is that the connecting cable is now being developed      a charging battery

This robot is the best friend of many British pupils of the first grades. But he doesn’t teach them grammar or mathematics. To make lessons funnier this robot can dance and sing. But his main aim or subject is…to protect the environment
