NEVER put your silk items in the dryer. Heat damages delicate silk fibers quickly. If you have to use a dryer, make sure it’s on the ‘air’ setting for no more than 15 minutes with NO fabric sheets or dryer balls. Removes sheets and pillowcases before they’re completely dry.

Fact

Pluto is smaller than the United States.

If you were to walk around the equator of Pluto it would be the same distance as walking from London to Denver (well, give or take 56 miles).

Myth

The Great Wall of China is the only man-made structure you can see from the moon.

Interestingly, this myth has been around at least since 1932. Of course, that was almost 30 years before a machine would touch down on the moon, so the claim was entirely unfounded. Astronauts have now confirmed that even the Great Wall actually can’t be seen from space, except at low altitudes. Even at those (relatively) low heights, it’s actually easier to see roads and plane runways, whose colors don’t blend into the ground like the Great Wall’s do.
