The Onagadori


The Onagadori (roughly meaning "respected bird") is a rare breed of long-tailed chicken from Japan. It was initially thought to be a descendant of Shoukoku, but recent modern genetic studies have undermined this theory. Onagadori is recognized as a living national treasure of Japan and is so far unique in its country of origin.
Onagadori are characterized by tail hair that does not fall out, and if kept in good condition, will grow well for as long as the rooster lives. Hens usually shed their hair like roosters, covering their head, chest, back and legs. Onagadori also have long, fluffy feathers, and the chick itself shows signs of being rich in plumage. To be considered a long-tailed grouse (Onagadori), a bird must have a tail of at least 2 m. Otherwise, it can be considered a phoenix chicken, a breed of onagadori. The Onagadori is 12-27 feet long, making it the king of all long-tailed chicken breeds.
Onagadoris has a single comb, white ears, and relatively medium fine bristles. The chicks are brown eggs shining with bad floors (about 25 eggs a year), but they are famous because they are depressed. Onagadori also includes various varieties of colors. White, red black brush, silver wings and golden duck wings.

worst plane crash

Image
On March 27, 1977, two Boeing 747 passenger jets, KLM 4805 and Pan Am 1736, collided on the runway at Los Rodeos Airport (now Tenerife North Airport) in Tenerife, Spain. The crash, which killed 583 people, was the deadliest in aviation history. A terrorist attack at Gran Canaria airport diverted many flights to Los Rodeos, including two downed planes. The airport was soon full of parked planes, blocking a single taxiway and directing departing planes onto the runway. Dense fog covered the airfield, greatly reducing the visibility of pilots and control towers. The accident happened when the KLM plane was taking off. The Pan Am plane was still on the runway, shrouded in fog, and about to enter the taxiway. The impact and associated fire killed everyone aboard KLM 4805 and most of the crew of Pan Am 1736, leaving only 61 survivors at the front of the plane. A subsequent investigation by Spanish authorities determined that the main cause of the accident...

Footprints of Apollo Astronauts

When the Apollo astronauts walked on the surface of the Moon, they left a mark that would remain there for a very long time. In a previous study of lunar rocks collected by astronauts during the Apollo missions, researchers found that the rocks disintegrate at a rate of about 0.04 inches per million years. "From a human point of view, this may seem like an eternity, but from a geological point of view, there may be no traces of the Apollo probes for 10 to 100 million years," said Mark Robinson, a scientist of Arizona State University. The eventual disappearance of the human footprint on the Moon could encourage some form of protection for the places where the Apollo astronauts landed and explored. "Because the moon has no atmosphere, wind and water erosion doesn't dissipate as quickly as on Earth, so it has a more permanent characteristic."
