Amazing Science Facts


    Our lungs are known to be the lightest of all organs in the body.

    Turritopsis nutricula is a genus of jelly fish which is also regarded as the immortal jelly fish. This is due to the fact these species have the ability to transform themselves back into juvenile form once they mate after becoming sexually mature.

    One of the must-know weird science facts is about the planet Saturn. It has a density that is lower than that of water. So, if you could throw it in the ocean, it would actually float!
