Neptune is the outermost planet in our Solar System. It used to be Pluto, but Pluto was disqualified from planetary status a few years ago. Sorry, Pluto, but that's just the way it is. The reasons for doing so, however, are exciting - there could be many planet sized objects beyond Neptune, and some of them could be the size of Earth!
The Oort Cloud - named after Dutch astronomer Jan Oort - is thought to be a giant shell of icy elements - comets, rocks and other galactic debris - that encircles the entire solar system. Oort believed that it contains material cast out from the formation of our solar system and is the probable origin of most of the comets that pass by Earth, for example Haley's comet. Many of the bodies within the Cloud could be Earth sized - or at least dwarf planets - and we call these 'plutoids' in honor of Pluto.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
