Hydrogen cars, or Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles, use a fuel cell stack to convert compressed hydrogen gas and oxygen from the air into electricity. This electricity powers an onboard electric motor, propelling the car with zero tailpipe emissions, producing only water vapor and warm air. Unlike battery-electric vehicles, they refuel in minutes like gasoline cars, offering a comparable driving range, which is a major benefit. However, a drawback is the currently limited hydrogen infrastructure.

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. It forms when a massive star collapses in on itself. The boundary where escape becomes impossible is the event horizon. While you can't see the hole itself, scientists detect them by observing the extreme effects their gravity has on nearby matter and stars.

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are natural light displays in the sky, primarily seen in high-latitude regions like the Arctic. They occur when charged particles from the sun, carried by solar wind, collide with gases in the Earth's atmosphere. Oxygen collisions produce green and red light, while nitrogen collisions cause blue and purple. The resulting shimmering, colorful curtains are a beautiful spectacle.
