Perfect vision in dark skies allows us to see stars down to about magnitude 6. But to really make an accurate census of the total number of stars, you’d need to travel to both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, since only part of the sky is visible from each portion of the Earth....
Asia is the largest continent that stretches from the eastern Mediterranean Sea to the western Pacific Ocean while Africa stands as the second largest. How many continents are there in 2023? As we mentioned, there are different views about the number of continents in the world. In the U.S....

Oceania is a region of the world. Rather than a continent, which is a very large body of land surrounded by water, Oceania is a large area water which contains many islands. It is located in the Southern Hemisphere and parts of it are in both the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. ...
On many, but not all, maps, north is at the top — other maps often include an arrow to indicate directions. Most maps have a legend explaining their symbols, and many have a scale noting relationship between the size of the map and the size of the real world, such as 1 inch to ...

There are so many different landscapes, and Ecuador is one of the few countries in the world to have all four climate zones including the coast, mountains, rainforest, and the Galapagos. This means you can enjoy all of these incredible experiences within a short amount of time. Because the...
We also made surprising discoveries about how these long-range inhibitory connections create behavioral flexibility. Specifically, they synchronize a set of "brain waves" calledgamma oscillationsacross the two hemispheres. Gamma oscillations are rhythmic fluctuations in brain activity that occur roughly 40 ...
