When you’re walking alone with your headphones on, the music settles into the rhythm of your steps, and the calm weather wraps around you like a soft blanket. Then suddenly, a place hits you—the way the light spills over rooftops, the way the air glows during golden hour, the way everything feels suspended for just a moment. It’s peaceful because it arrives without warning, like a quiet reminder that beauty doesn’t need permission to appear. In that instant, the world feels gentler, and you feel more present, grounded in a moment that seems made just for you.

Whittier, Alaska, is a remote town with a population of just over 200 people, most of whom live in a single building: the Begich Towers. Originally built as a military barracks in the 1950s, this 14-story structure now serves as a self-contained community hub. It houses not only apartments but also essential town services, including the post office, grocery store, school, police station, and even a church. Due to the town’s harsh weather and isolation—accessible by only one tunnel that closes at night—consolidating life into one building offers convenience, safety, and a unique sense of close-knit living rarely seen elsewhere.

Utqiaġvik, Alaska has officially entered its long polar night. The sun slipped below the horizon on November 18, 2025 — and it won’t rise again until around January 22, 2026.

Located at the very top of the United States, Utqiaġvik spends about 65 days each winter in complete sunless darkness, a result of Earth’s axial tilt pushing the Arctic Circle into continuous night. Even without a sunrise, the town still gets a few hours of deep blue twilight each day, creating that surreal, icy glow locals know well.

For the Iñupiat community who’ve lived here for thousands of years, the polar night is a normal and meaningful part of the seasonal cycle — a time of quiet, tradition, and deep winter weather as temperatures plunge and sea ice grows.

Scientists in Florida are taking lightning research to the next level — literally launching rockets into storm clouds to watch how bolts form. Each rocket trails a thin copper wire, creating a pathway for lightning to follow. When a strike hits, the wire superheats and bursts into brilliant blue-green light, while powerful winds twist the bright white bolts into surreal shapes.

The result? Rare, almost cinematic footage that reveals just how wild and unpredictable our atmosphere can be.

Norilsk, Russia is often called one of the most depressing cities on Earth, and here’s why this Arctic mining town is unlike anywhere else:

Extreme isolation: It’s one of the world’s northernmost cities, completely closed to foreigners and reachable only by plane. No roads connect it to the rest of Russia.

40+ days of darkness: Every winter, Norilsk enters a polar night where the sun doesn’t rise for over a month.

Brutal cold: Temperatures can drop below –40°C, with blizzards so strong residents can’t see a few meters ahead.

Heavy pollution: Built around massive nickel and metal smelting operations, Norilsk is considered one of the most polluted cities on the planet. The air quality and environmental damage are major concerns.

Soviet-style architecture: Rows of concrete apartment blocks, harsh weather, and industrial landscapes create an atmosphere many describe as bleak and surreal.

Yet despite all of this, around 180,000 people still call Norilsk home, building community and resilience in one of the world’s toughest environments.

Dexerto’s report highlights fresh claims from insider Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly, who says GTA 6 is so ambitious that no developer will match it for 15–20 years. According to Reilly, the game goes far beyond being “GTA V 2.0,” backed by earlier hints from patents and job listings pointing to large-scale destruction, advanced weather, procedural interiors, and more interactive NPCs. With the game set for November 2026, excitement continues to rise.
Do you think GTA 6 can really stay unmatched for decades?

Swipe They say you can’t control the weather — but for Berndnaut Smilde, that’s precisely the point of his life’s work

The Dutch artist is renowned for his “Nimbus” series, in which he forms pristine, fluffy clouds inside unexpected indoor settings — from churches and castles to dungeons — by carefully manipulating temperature, humidity, and lighting. Using a blend of smoke and water vapor, he crafts these fleeting sculptures, each one lasting only a few seconds before it disappears.

What endures is a single photograph: the perfect image of each cloud in its chosen space, captured through the meticulous efforts of Smilde and his team.

Somewhere out there, a tree began its life on the same day you took your first breath, quietly growing taller as you’ve grown older.

While you’ve weathered life’s storms and basked in its sunshine, that tree has done the same – rooted, resilient, and steadfast.

There’s a gentle kind of comfort in knowing that, somewhere, a living thing has been growing beside you all along, season after season.

Friendships that last beyond 7 years are often friendships for life

According to a 2009 study in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, connections that make it past the 7-year milestone are far more likely to endure long term. By that point, most have already weathered distance, disagreements, and major life transitions—building resilience that makes the bond unshakable.

These long-term friendships don’t just enrich our lives emotionally—they also improve mental health, reduce stress, and even support physical well-being. Over time, they often transform into something deeper: chosen family.

Just look at Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire—over three decades strong and still going.
