1915 – Pluto is photographed for the first time but is not recognized as a planet.
Years after, in 1930 Clyde W. Tombaugh, considered Pluto as the ninth Planet of the Solar System. At that time he didn't know that actually it is not.
In 1970 after discovering the minor planet 2060 Chiron, scientists considered that maybe Pluto is not a planet.
Why didn't they say anything? Just because, Astrologists asked scientists to keep silence. For years they were creating their astrological calendars, where they described how birth under different planets is possible to change a human's life. They knew that people whom they cheated for such a long time, would protest, and will never believe them any more.
This lasted till 2006, when the International Astronomical Union (IAU)defined the term "planet" for the first time. and Pluto was reclassified like a "dwarf planet"
Thus the Oxford dictionary got a new word "plutoed", which means "to demote or devalue someone or something"

Happy Pi day! 3.14
Pi represents the relationship between a circle’s diameter (its width) and its circumference (the distance around the circle).
Pi Day and Pi Approximation Day are two holidays held to celebrate the mathematical constant π (pi) (in the mm.dd date notation: 3.14); since 3, 1 and 4 are the first three digits of π. March 14 is also the birthday of Albert Einstein and the two events are sometimes celebrated together.

The only RGB country in the world!
The RGB color model is an additive color model in which red, green, and blue light are added together in various ways to reproduce a broad array of colors. The name of the model comes from the initials of the three additive primary colors, red, green, and blue.
read the wikipedia
The main reason why I've written it here is that there is only one country in the world which has flag that reflects all three RGB colors - AZERBAIJAN.

Keep this formule(x = x + 1) away from your math teacher
Keep this formule(x = x + 1) away from your math teacher
If you show this formule to your math teacher, he will beat you
So why do we need this formule?
This formule has no meaning in Math. But it's very useful in programming.
It means that x is a variable, and we make X's value equal to it's previous value + 1
That's it.

Greenland is not Green, Iceland is not Ice
After Vikings, in 8th century discovered a beautiful island, covered by green, trees and forests they didn't want other discoverers to come and settle there.
That's why they called this really green island ICELAND, the land of ICE.
That's why when they discovered an island covered by ICE only, they gave it a beautiful name.
They called it GREENLAND in the hope that the pleasant name would attract settlers.
That's why Greenland, which seemed to be green, actually is covered by ice.

Why the color of sea near cost is green?
As you know the color of the sea is blue.
And near the coast there is a little distance between the bottom and surface of the water.
That's why the sunshine reflects very easily from the surface.
And the Color of the sunshine is Yellow.
So near the coast, the color of the sunshine mixes into the color of sea.
Yellow + Blue = Green
